TIDAL is calling their files of my songs Masters. But TIDAL’s MQA files are not my masters. I make my masters - not TIDAL. I made my masters the way I wanted them to sound. If TIDAL referred to their titles as TIDAL MASTERS, I would have no problem, but they don’t. They call them Masters. I had my music removed from that platform. They are not my masters.”.
And because some here dont have a clue about "democracy"and his relation to medecine, i suggest Joe Rogan last interview with an EX-Islamist who became a true democrat decades ago and who willl explain the actual world situation to you....
a crackpot?
No need to apologize i am sure that 3 hours of working brain work is sometimes asking too much....
It is like in audio where most people mistook the marketting engineering publicities measures with real acoustic experience...
The publicity is not even wrong , it is an half truth...A lie by omission to sell the gear....
Because the acoustic experience cannot be reduced to a limited choices of engineering "truths".....
How many doctors can separate the pharma propaganda from scientific medical true concrete individual experience and "art" and are enough strong in themselves to do so?
The big pharma want to replace human experience and relation with A.I. system expert at the end and subordinate human to abstract protocol... .... I am not against the value of using tech , i am against technological tyranny and the erasing of human relations in the medical field...And this problem in the medical field is only a small part of the universal control by corporations anyway....
In audio it is very easy to spot the "illusion" coming with the programmation of the consumers mind.... Suffice to experiment with acoustic versus upgrading an amplifier or any other piece of gear to know the difference...
In medecine also it is easy to spot pharma tyranny .....Save for ostrich and programmed consumers....
My hobby was never an upgrade journey, it was an acoustic initiation among other things...
Ignorance is most of the time a voluntary act....Because the cost of the opposite is too much higher or time consuming ....
Free men are alone more than ever....
Obviously with a few crackpots on Joe Rogan
By the way calling one of the most known scientist in america, a "crackpot" say a lot about you.... Read about doctor McCullough.... Right or wrong, he is not and never was a crackpot...
But writing this about him make you more than a "crackpot" or less than a "crackpot" it make you an " ignorant"... Sorry.... vocabulary matter....
How must we call you if Dr McCullough is a crackpot?
You bought that reading his wikipedia article falsehood about "misinformation", forgetting about all his worldwide scientific reputation and career because some PAID fact cheker of wiki said so?
How do you call Dr. Fauci compared to him who is a real doctor and scientist in many fields which included covid treatment who are famous worldwide, Fauci who NEVER adress concretely in practice ANY covid patient in all the last 2 years because he was a doctor only by name, i am curious? You dont know about remdesivir protocol used by Fauci i suppose?
I am flabbergasted by bad faith or /and ignorance....
Stupid people dont want a "free voice" nor a free broadcast, they want OFFICIAL chaining of the truth....I am flabbergasted...Orwelll explain it all long ago but who read books anyway?
I live in Canada where the most pacific and the biggest democratic manifestation ever was just put to an end with force and with new tyrannical war time measures "law" and where an older woman with an ambulatory manifesting was trampled yesterday by police horse?
So you don't trust your own doctor? Sad. Time to find a new one. Unless you are among the sorry group that have no doctor (setting said the under 30 crowd who may not have one, who are not as seriously affected by the virus, although the ones that are very overweight or have preexisting conditions can be).
Obviously with a few crackpots on Joe Rogan giving out universal advice and some others they haven't been silenced. There are no right or wrong opinions. Only facts and lies.
If there was no misinformation, then why were those podcasts removed and Rogan allowed to stay? Rogan also gave advice himself, which he is not qualified to do. Doctors should be giving it to their patients. Everything else is noise.
This one’s easy to answer. It’s censorship plain as the nose on your face. Spotify was trying to appease the cancel mob. People should have access to ALL the information and make their own decisions.
Anyone who is ok with this type of behavior should take note. Today it’s something you approve of being censored, tomorrow it won’t be…
I only trust my doctor. He knows me best. Some people shouldn’t get the vaccine. I’d like to know if I am one if them. The most credible talking heads tell anyone questioning if the should get the vaccine to talk to their doctor.
How can anyone possibly argue with that? Unless you yourself are a self-treating one that is.
If there was no misinformation, then why were those podcasts removed and Rogan allowed to stay? Rogan also gave advice himself, which he is not qualified to do. Doctors should be giving it to their patients. Everything else is noise.
There was no “misinformation “. That’s mediaspeak for “ something we don’t agree with”. It’s a different opinion and if someone is too weak to form their own opinion without intervention then they won’t make it in this world unless someone tells them what to think.
Misinformation is another buzz word. Like social construct. Means nothing.
I am a big Neil fan as well, but the SQ had nothing to do with his request to have his music removed from Spotify. He wanted Joe Rogan's misinformation about vaccinations removed, and apparently it has been done, but Neil is gone from there anyway and like he say "once you're gone, you can't come back, when you're out of the blue and into the black".
From my understanding, Pono failed because the SQ was too good (files were too large) so the big boys never agreed to carry the files,
Neil is very passionate about preserving his music the way he intended it to be. It’s 50 plus years of work they are trifling with and I don’t blame him one bit. The PONO player he had invented failed and the way he brought it about was to take Steve Jobs of Apple for a ride in his old car to hear it. Jobs was impressed and was all in, then he died. Neil then tried the go fund me route or some other fundraising platform and there wasn’t enough interest. I was looking forward to being able to take PONO with me on my motorcycle journeys.
"A fairly undignified testament of one’s faith to accuse anyone who confronts it with facts to be paranoid."
A concise, accurate, reasoned and restrained, objective, and thoughtful explanation of such an ignorant, uninformed, and poorly considered observation by cleeds, as observation I offer without making opinion as to the actual accuracy of his comment taken by itself, which may have merit even if the supporting argument does not withstand scrutiny on its own merit.
devilboy is very concerned about the woke Left and asks cleeds to wake up but if cleeds is the woke Left is he not awake? Or has he yet to be awoken? These labels are so confusing.
To clear, this whole thing is not and was never about, vaccine misinformation on Joe’s show. The JRE offers a platform where people, if they choose, can give dialogue that differs with the Left.
The Left wants to remove any and all such platforms which provide people that opportunity. Mainstream Media is a Leftist propaganda delivery device and the Left wants it to be your only source of "information."
I thought we all agreed that anyone who doesn't want to get the vaccine should consult with their doctor. Forget all the arguments from pundits and politicians and government agencies and statistics with their various spins.
If you have a doctor and trust them, you consult with them and if they say you shouldn't get the vaccine, they can provide a note showing a medical reason why which will allow you the privilege of the vaccinated.
If you don't have a doctor you trust, get one. If not, you deserve what you get.
Please can we now end this Monty Python sketch/discussion?
Fair enough to be alert to motives of big corporations.
I will say though that not all are evil. I’ve worked for a fairly large financial services firm for 25 years now. Many people would know the name and may well be customers. The industry is highly regulated and people are held to a high standard in regards to ethics and doing the right thing for both the business AND the customers. We provide a service that many would be much worse off without and am proud of that. My job is to help keep the systems running....
Not a fan of the big drug companies and how they gouge people in need for profit. I suspect we agree on that.
Money is probably in fact the root of all evil. Money and the quest for power. Nothing new there! I think most people get that.
You are right about this thread now...I will not post other answers....Save if someone attack me...
By the way a PUBLIC appeal to censorship of scientists of different voices is WORST than censoring someone or something for ourself...
i need stoic philosophy you are right about that...
But you need to inform yourself about the actual greatest crisis in totalitarian control... It is not conspiracy theory... It is not even conspiracy at all... the big corporations DONT HIDE their goal at all.... But people dont read...
They dont know that Trudeau made his apprentiship in politic like Macron at Davos under Klaus Schwab...The great priest of transhumanist ONE world government and no more privacy for anyone like China ...... It is not a conspiracy it is a process that begun under your eyes and not hidden at all...
My deepest respect for you...
Regarding Neil Young, he can’t censor…
You often refer to your extensive study of philosophy…it might be of some comfort to revisit Stoic Philosophy.
I greatly appreciate your honesty and humility and wise attitude...
You are right for sure about me...
But in this critical situation now that most people dont even imagine i have an excuse for my rant here against censorhip and indoctrination by fear...Perhaps if you are right with my unwise rant i am right about the general situation..
By the way my posts were against forced mass vaccinations remember, not against targetted at risk people vaccinations which is necessary ... And about treatment that were criminally banned... It is my only excuse...And on that i am right...
hate to say it my friend but you have jumped the shark per se. You discredit scientists you disagree with like Dr. Fauci then come right back and criticize others for doing same to the ones you like.
I know you are smart and fair and will realize this. Perhaps do not be so fast on the trigger when posting. Don’t let your emotions replace rational thought.
Also I much prefer your embedding related posts here. At least that has relevance to the purpose of the site and just in case perhaps you are wrong about something, no big deal. Its only hifi, not people’s health and well being.
Regarding Neil Young, he can’t censor…private citizens can’t officially censor any more than they can force adoption of new digital format….PONO anyone? Did anyone feel threatened by PONO?
Rrespectfully @mahgister, you might consider a different approach as it is futile to expect others to align with your way of thinking on this enless Covid conspiracy loop. Isnt it time that we recognize that this quasi-debate fatigue is a thing….that the same old arguments from differing data sets is unproductive? All it accomplishes is those fully invested in the dialogue get nowhere? If one person cites a Nobel Laureate in their argument, they believe that should be the intellectual equivalent of the mic drop. The Nobel committee is far from perfect..(Moniz received the Nobel for the lobotomy LOL).

Whether someone is Vax or anti-vax, whether someone's had Covid or not...most people don't care. They certainly don't care to debate "alternative facts" when they hold the opposite or dissimilar views. I just don't share the "hair-on-fire" outrage that others seem to on either side of this issue.
+1. When I read the dramatic outrage some share here, I sometimes wonder: Who are they trying to convince?
Of course it was an attempt at censorship by Young. We can get hung up on the details of whether his actions were “technically” censorship or not, but his intent was clear. He did not simply (and honorably) walk away from Spotify in protest; he gave them an ultimatum…me, or Rogan. There is no doubt in my mind that Young, due to the typical overblown sense of self importance held by some artists, especially the aging ones in search of relevance, was shocked (to say the least) that Spotify would choose Rogan over him. Then, being unsuccessful, he doesn’t stop there. Now he is encouraging those working for Spotify to jump ship and leave their place of employment so as to “save their souls”. Really? Overblown sense of self importance.
Very simple you pick many you trust and instead of one you have ten...
This is only one : Didier Raoult.... one of the Top virologist in the world...
I go with what he say and many others virologist say the same thing than him...
Then saying that this thread content is all void because you have a virologist friend means what?
many virologists go with their story for their own sake... Being a virologist dont make you an independant completely true and free scientist...
What do you think pay for many virologists research and fund?
mass inforced vaccinations of all people for a coronavirus is stupid, especially with an untested technology...If you think this technology was tested before you are deluded...
No need to be a virologist to know, any simple doctor know, that we must treat people if available drug are there... They were banned not by virologists though guess why whom?
Vaccination make sense for at risk people, especially with this virus...because all the other can be treated with simple existing drugs that were all banned for sure...
no need to be friend with a virologist to know that...
Wow this thread has gone off the rails, but I have a friend who is a working virologist. I can’t relay how amazing it is to speak with someone in the field and get updates to the rapidly growing knowledge base, as he sometimes contradicts what he said a few months ago, as the science progresses. No agenda’s, no media pundits, no politicians, no corporations, just pure empirical data (of course it has to be interpreted, and perhaps there are varying thoughts on that)
Get a virologist friend today! Maybe you can share your knowledge of audio with them.
Another who dont undestand the difference between the end of commercial contract and a POLTICAL PUBLIC appeal to censordhip against 2 scientists and ACCUSING them of criminals desinformation with NO background in science to do so...He even never listened to them this last 6 hours...
Neil is within his rights to cancel a contract. Period. That’s not censorship, its a choice. He’s just notifying anyone who will listen that he does not want to be associated with someone that he feels is misinforming the general public (for profit, shock profit) on an issue that can have severe consequences for some.
