Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?

You read great books ... 😊

Nassim Taleb is a disciple of one of my gurus.. I call guru a great writer and thinker...

It is the reason i read his book about the Black Swan and his statistic debunking concepts books... I like his humor and he own the common sense i lack ...

I read the first edition of Mandelbrot book masterpiece on fractal geometry in 1975 published first in french...

One of the greatest book i read in my life: pure poetry...Imagine you read a book that teach you why you had never seen anything in the right way ever...Astounding and flabbergasting, inpossible to sleep many nights...

Surprizingly i was amazed to read in the description of Mandelbrot the fractal concept was already in the books of the great scientist and mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg... I read Mandelbrot and Swedenborg the same months...

Swedenborg was the father of neurology and the master scientific mind in all fields for the Queen of the Sweden kingdom.. And a seer without peer...He talked with angels all his life and inspired my favorite English poet and seer William Blake...

His definition of death is amazingly abstract and amazingly concrete at the same time: "death is the reversal of the internal and the external "...He speak slowly because he stutter all his life...But nobody dare to mock his wisdom in mathematic, medecine, physics  or in celestial matters...He predicted his own death exactly...he wrote all his work in latin and live till old age a feet in this world and the other feet in heaven and hell...

His description of the dying process  were later proved exactly right by NDE research centuries later...

He was called the Leonardo Da Vinci of the north...His life is too incredible for a movie...

And Kant was so envious and sceptic about him he wrote young a book about Swedenborg trying to debunk the giant... He lost... 😁😊

Kant is a prodigious thinker but not an artist nor a scientist, nor a creative mind nor a seer and mystic all wrapped in one body... Swedenborg is in the same club than Goethe...

😉😊

@mahgister I cannot recommend the book thyname recommend because I have not read it, but I can recommend the author. The Master and his Emissary was an incredible book. He is also highly recommended by Nassim Taleb, another great author.

I am particularly moved by Mathematics ,Poetry and Music....For me they are the  three flows surging  from the same beat...

Gibran is a supremum artist, painter and mystic a Poet in his own class...

He is deep like ocean and clear like water fresh rain...

His soul must be a very beautiful fractal linking very other beautiful souls...

I read many of his books ....

@mahgister,I've never seen you write like this. You must/have to be a teacher/professor of sorts. Most of the time you write in a poetry style more common to the author of The Prophet - Almustafa, Kahlil Gibran. Don't ever loose the masters touch. 

Admittedly @nonoise , I have never seen catholic used in that way, so my apologies to you.  I will attempt to delete my offending post.

"If the American Empire falls the world falls with it."

Can you expand on this a little, please?

When Britain lost its empire it took several decades before most people here even realised.

Somehow they were lead to believe that they had won the war.

I’m fairly certain that people in Russia and America didn’t see it that way.

In any case the American empire soon took over the vacuum left by the fall of France, Germany and the UK.
