Telegram became the most downloaded mobile app in the world in January 2021.

For the last 7.5 years, Telegram has steadily climbed the rankings for popular apps. Since its launch in 2013, Telegram’s user base has grown over 40% each year.

What’s our secret? Consistency.

For the last 7.5 years we’ve consistently defended the privacy of our users and regularly improved the quality and feature set of our apps.

Anyone who stays true to their values and regularly applies focused effort over a long period of time is bound to succeed in their area. This is true for any human occupation – sport, blogging, art, coding, business or studying.

With today’s update, we're giving every Telegram user the power to run their own radio station (later this Spring: TV station) without adding any complexity to our apps.

I’m proud we were able to roll out this new version of Telegram just 3 weeks after our previous major update. What’s more, this came at no expense to the quality of new features – you’ll experience the high speed, wide functionality and slick animations that you love Telegram for.

The update has been approved by both Apple and Google for several hours now. Due to Apple’s tech issues, iOS users may have to wait a few more hours for the new version to hit the store. Users of all other platforms can already enjoy Voice Chats 2.0 and other features.
Steve Jobs’s “reality distortion field” was a personal refusal to accept limitations that stood in the way of his ideas, to convince himself that any difficulty was surmountable. This “field” was so strong that he was able to convince others that they, too, could achieve the impossible. It was an internal reality so powerful it also became an external reality.

Putin and KGB will be in power until opposition learns how to leverage internet.
People like Novalny have used social media to "promote" lavish lifestyles of Russian political elite. It doesn't work.
Existing hierarchy is thoroughly corrupt. There's no prize in getting to the top of the Russian political hierarchy - it's rotten. I think it's wrong to think that if a good honest people reach the top of existing political hierarchy they'll reform the country. I doubt that it will work. Whoever that gets Putin's seat will become new Putin 4-5 years.
There's no need to fight system head on, new alternative system must be built.
Just like with a startup it has to solve problem 10-100 better than existing solution.
It's not only Russian issue, wherever you look people are complaining about corrupt and inefficient government.
I think there're several things that would have to be changed:
- Parliaments should no longer vote for laws, but only prepare them;
- People should be able to vote for and against any law in the country;
- No need for president/prime minister/secretary, there should be an executive for every branch of government like: head of health; head of education; Military; Police, etc;
....cont....
- Court systems must be reformed with use of computer algorisms. We know terrible stats when judges are tired or hungry they tend to give harsher decisions. Computer systems are never tired, they're hard to bribe unlike humans. The only thing we need lawyers and judges is to help write rules and make sure that system works correctly;
- Most of the governance systems must be executed using smart contracts;
- Tax collection must be in trackable crypto, so when you pay your taxes you know exactly where your money went. That way we are more likely to pay taxes and you feel ownership of your country. And if somehow money you paid in taxes went straight in to a beach resort or expensive restaurant you can track the corrupt government official by click of a button.

We do not have to wait for existing political leaders to implement the change. They will never do it even if they promise, because it's against interests of existing ruling class! These new systems must be invented and implemented in parallel with existing governments. After a while they will take over not just whole country but the whole world.

I dont want to save Russia. I only suggest how to save people from aggressive Russian government.
My main premise is when hierarchy becomes corrupt there's no use wasting lives and energy to get to the top. It's better to think of new alternative way to organize and live a better life. I obviously do not claim that all my suggestions are great, but I try to explore new options instead of repeating same old fights for generations.
Telegram messenger is a true example of new order. Russian government couldn't beat it because it was so superiors technologically. And today most of the Russian government officials are using Telegram. We need more companies like Telegram.

Typical stuff in Republic of Ingushetia- Ambushing and killing of innocent people. War of Russia vs Caucasus never stopped, it has just cooled down, but videos like these that remind me that killing of my people will never stop.😔 I know the game and I'm working to build up the capital to make a difference! 🤲

This is how Russian migration officers treat people from Uzbekistan.
What happens in the video: Officer demands to show driving license and guy replies " I showed you my passport, why do you need my passport" to which officer replies " you want to act like a smartass? $ and starts beating the guy from Uzbekistan. 🤬🤬🤬 In my life in Russia I've seen acts of russian racism towards foreigners so many times that I got used to it.

Some members of Russian so called "Inteligencia" claim that Russia has brought civilization to Caucasus. They say such nonsense because they don't know history of their country or more likely choose to ignore the fact that their "civilized" country have killed 90% of Circassians.
On 20th of May 2011 Georgia became the first country to recognize as genocide Tsarist Russia’s massive slaughter of ethnic Circassians in the mid-19th century.

A little dive into Integrated information theory.
Five essential properties("axioms") of consciousness according to Giulio Tononi:
1. Intrinsic existence. Consciousness exists;
2. Composition. It's structured;
3. Information. Every experience is specific;
4. Integration. It's always one and cannot be subdivided into components or reduced;
5. Exclusion. Experience is unique.

Most celebrities are non-intellectuals that just say what they think sounds good/virtuous and what they think their fans want to hear.

There is no correlation between their words and their actions.

Of course they're role models for the masses.
