Talk but not walk?

Hi glupson

I very much enjoyed your post! You have a gift in writing. Reading you I always feel I'm able to see your thoughts even if I have interpreted them incorrectly in the past. I think that is rare in forum settings because, like with emails and texting, we read the words but also add to them our own personalities to the mix. Like that game we played as kids where someone says something in someone's ear and by the time it gets pasted around the room it's a completely different meaning let alone words. I on the other hand am not a gifted writer and sometimes lucky if my points are intelligible at all. I'm far better at "show and tell" than tell alone. Which is why the OP applies to me as well. If I didn't have systems around me all day I doubt if I could "talk" anything meaningful or useful on these forums as well as TuneLand at all. I would say I am a walker who is constantly learning about the talk side of life in general. It's been weird that I have been asked to speak so many times through my life and even been asked to teach. I have written entire university courses and even accepted to teach at SUNY, but when I got there felt very inadequate that I would ever pull off what these amazing people do. Dr. Robert Barstow is one of these amazing personalities who at one time was pushing to build a Tuning Research Lab on the campus at Oneonta. That was one of my wow moments in life. I could ramble till your ears bleed about the people who have approached me about what I do. Again pretty wow-ish for me at least.

"On a different note, I did ask recently what it is about you that ignites so many people, call it rubs them the wrong way. I have a feeling it is not just the content of the discussion as responses, at least to me, seem to be out of proportion. Just your existence on this thread, as anonymous and ultimately unimportant for the world that it is, brings some combative tendencies out. Do you have any idea what it is? Does it happen to you in real life? It may have nothing to do with audio topics, but I noticed it over the days so I thought I might ask."

part one

glupson, I can only give examples and hints to this cause it has been my personal mystery as well through life. I smile and think that maybe someday someone will look back and read this and other documents and say maybe I had a part (small part) in something much bigger than myself. I think it was amg who said how arrogant I was. Truth is I have no idea if I am or if I'm what the opposite side says. I get up every morning, thank God for another day, and begin tuning. My goal is to tune and build as much of a historical basis as I can through my lifetime. I use to think that while I was alive the Tuning Revolution would be in full swing and all things audio and mechanical would be sensory evaluated and self tuning, and even though it's going to be, it is still possibly beyond my lifetime. It's exciting to me though to see how far we have come in innovative technologies during our life times. The ego fights we see here on these pages and other pages of journals mean little to me. The push into what will be is what drives me.
