Monthly Art #47
This is a monthly “newsletter”, containing a list of what I enjoyed the most last month. Whether it was a full length movie, short film, music album, book or even a painting.
Free people make free choices. Free choices mean you get unequal outcomes.

You can have freedom, or you can have equal outcomes. You can’t have both.
What I am watching
- My stuff (2013)
“The concept: Take all of your stuff into a storage, and bring back only one item per day.”
I found this movie refreshing after watching a few big-budget Hollywood films. Fumio Sasaki recommends watching it in his bestselling book “Goodbye, Things: The New Japanese Minimalism”. I used to have all my stuff fit into one box, but not now. My garage is filled with so many things that a person can barely walk there :) I will try to get rid of most of them.
- Foothills: The Unlinked Heritage of Snowboarding
“The people of Petran, Turkey, have been snowboarding for roughly 300 years. It’s not snowboarding as we know it, but you’ll recognize it. In this film by WRKSHRT, we follow Alex Yoder and Nick Russell into Turkey’s Kaçkar Mountains on a quest to unearth the unlinked heritage of snowboarding and have some fun in the process.”
- Hacking democracy with theater | Eero Epner | TEDxKyiv
A story about troupe creating a fake political party.
What I am reading
Как достичь цели:
- Придумываешь действительно классную цель
- Придумываешь набор систем—простых [в идеале, ежедневных] рутин, выполняя которые, ты с наибольшей вероятностью за желаемое время дойдёшь до цели
- 99% года не думаешь о цели, думаешь только о том, как выполнить сегодняшнюю рутину.
- Каждый день делаешь рутины из системы
- [проходит год]
- Profit: цель достигнута, ты в шоке.
