Rules of life - about sex, death and artificial brain

In November 2017, Olga Uskova published her "rules of life" on her personal Facebook page. According to Uskova, she prepared them for "one glamorous foreign magazine," but faced censorship and various additions in accordance with... " concepts of Western culture and tolerance.... " Therefore, she canceled the publication in the magazine and decided to publish the rules on Facebook.

"I am engaged in the creation of the Artificial Brain and a slight feeling of guilt in front of humanity moves inside"

Olga Uskova's "Rules of Life" (author's punctuation and spelling preserved):

1) According to other people's rules, I do not play and do not live. When I hear the word tolerance, I grab hold of the holster.

2) A favorite meditative practice is getting rid of a sense of self-importance. The favorite eastern parable, in connection with this, from the "Mu men guan."

"Qun-Ran daily addressed himself: "Teacher!" Then he answered himself: "Yes, Lord." Then he continued: "Sober up." Again he answered: "Yes, Lord." "And since then," he continued, "don't let anyone put you into sin." "Yes, lord, yes, lord," he replied... "

3) I don't know how old I really am. Yesterday it was -12, today - 76, tomorrow I will probably relax to a 5-year attitude.

4) I do not think that all people are souls, and, it seems to me, the world is full of idiots and ass. And you have to do something about it.

5) In 1985, I was expelled from the Komsomol for having a relationship with a married man (a member of the CPSU). In 2003, I refused an offer to take the post of Deputy Minister in the new government. In 2007, she recognized herself unworthy and insufficiently ready to join United Russia. In 2011, she refused to lead an international feminist project. For six years now, I have not been bothered. I am waiting for new reasons to show off.

6) I don't understand what death is. Did not remove a single number of deceased friends from the notebook. Deep down I believe that someday I can get through.

7) I tried an extensive sample of ways to have sex. But, oddly enough, she settled on the most traditional. Apparently the high is not in shape.

8) To the second violin concerto of Paganini performed by Yehudi Menukhin, you can do a lot with me!

9) I am engaged in the creation of the Artificial Brain and a slight feeling of guilt in front of humanity moves inside. Maybe so was Oppenheimer, in the early stages of the project?

10) Favourite food - bonfire-baked potatoes, salted barrel cucumber and a stack of iced vodka. (not very feminine, but honest
