Magical synthesis of creativity and the Internet

1. The Universe folds with an incredible speed to its centre which is pure self-generated creative essence. Today it is creativity that sets new meanings, methods and objectives, and makes the world a new one, quite different, not as it seems to us. The old laws and values, the reliable methods of existence are ineffective; and persistent application of proven methods leads to a deadlock. “The greatest tendencies – Jean-Paul wrote –crush ignorance and insensible ones.”

2. The World, which is languid with abundance, does not pay any attention and does not give any reward to people whose actions are not creative. Today it is creativity which is the keyword to be used by the Universe to search for its favourites.

3. The Internet with its inevitability and objectivity becomes a part of our life and our inner world. In its avalanche-like growth, it may be overloaded, sicken, and plunge into chaos if it does not obey «Ordine Creations» (A Creative Order) if it does not become more vivid, dialogical, personality-oriented, and aimed at one’s development and reinforcement.

4. Numerous social networks successfully satisfying basic human needs for communication and self-presentation have reached their peak and now their future tends to depend on completeness and depth to meet the highest needs of a man – in particular the need for creativity.

5. Social networks of the future will accumulate real creative accomplishments and successful solutions to life problems; disclose their principles, rules, techniques and secrets of success. Their purpose will be to awaken and develop the latent, innate creativity, and unique individuality of every person.

6. The Internet should be enriched with creativity and acquire a developing, helping and reinforcing essence. It is expected to help people successfully solve their real-life problems, to provide the necessary and efficient knowledge instantly, and to make people stronger in spirit and more competitive in a new, unpredictable and complex world.

7. The Internet as a powerful mythical deity should give the hero the following things:
a Cosmic Home – the existential castle and personal spiritual citadel, a place of a deep harmony between Man and the World, a treasury of culture and the centre of crystallization of achievements, the intimate, safe and friendly space, some responsive, well-ordered and managed Universe;
a Miraculous weapon regarded as a universal creative method;
a Magic drink granting the state of creative inspiration, freedom and power awakening dormant forces and innate genius;
а Good fortune is giving a lucky chance and unexpected success, which are generated due to responding to underlying structures, vibrations, and the trends of the Universe.

Project Background

1. Humanity. We consider every human life and human destiny as an unconditional, enduring and ultimate value. Any truly experienced event and any act committed by the dictates of truth creative Self is a unique and invaluable contribution to the flow of Creative Сoevolution and to the process of co-creativity.
This background is manifested in a special, magical vision of every person, culture and history in general, in a specific view, which highlights and revives only those creative products, events and actions that make a contribution to the improvement of humankind and the entire Universe as a whole.

2. Creativity. Today, the famous phrase “He who owns the information, owns the world” becomes a dangerous illusion, a trap and a brake on development.
Today a new, fresh and powerful criterion for development and success – Creativity gains in strength. The one that intuitively sensed it has mastered and successfully maximizes this resource, reaches unexpectedly high results and dizzying success. In this sense, genius is the utmost concentrated, pure and free creativity.

The Base Principles

The place of information today must be occupied by creative knowledge, which main characteristics are a reflection of true nature and the mobile essence of things, conciseness and beauty of form, saturation by developing meanings and alive effectiveness.
These inner characteristics of creative knowledge are implemented in the basic principles of the site:
1. The accuracy and completeness of information – the reflection of the world the way it is. The responsibility to the truth. The openness to new knowledge.
2. Extreme compactness, convolution, organization and semantic compression of information.
3. Manageability, mobility and accessibility of information.
4. Humanistic – the subordination of imperative to absolute value and integrity of the inner world of each person. Tact and delicacy.
5. Fascination and emotional richness of information.
6. Simplicity, beauty and transparency of the form.
7. Orientation on development, enhancement and creativity.

Organisation

The general problem of congestion and fragmentation of Web-space, viscosity and redundancy of information can be overcome by new forms of its organization, by substantial concentration and compactification of meanings.
Besides, biographical information should be highly manageable, accessible and transparent. And on this site, it is achieved through flexible, dynamic navigation and innovative combined form of searching.
Bilingualism of the site may revive inaccessible information about the life and work of prominent personalities and discover new names that are very popular in one language culture, but completely unknown in another.

Contents

The site presents the creative biography of prominent representatives of humankind, who have achieved success, and have done and continue to do their unique contributions to world culture.
Life of prominent historical figures and contemporary celebrities have always had some magic and attractive power. The reason probably lies in the fact that people see in geniuses a part of themselves, and perceive their fate as the possible ways of their own Self-realization and as the supreme goal and role model.

It is not surprising that the number of biographical sites on the Internet avalanche grows. Each of them is a small island of the New Empire of Geniuses and everyone may be worthy to be its citizen.
At the same time, the network started to be surfeited with repeatedly copied, bare biographical information, devoid of force that induces creativity and making of life choices.

Yours respectfully,
Sergey L. Markov
