CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

No one is winning.... You are free to create your own reality.... I dont have faith in idols.... And a punishing god is ridiculous idea, a primitive one indeed...My God is the absolute love....

Consciousness only exist.... Matter is a 19 century scientist superstition.... Modern science is no more there....

My only "religious" experience is the infinity of an all encompassing consciousness.... I trust mathematics not the priests of any religion.... And i trust my own consciousness....And i trust the all encompassing consciousness that is yours also...

Mathematics is only a fixed photograph of the universal cellulars living infinite memory.... This is the true divine for me....God is Absolute.... Not a thing....God is pure love not a limited individuality....Only God exist then you exist through "him" and with "him"....You are free then you create hell for yourself with hate and dissipate it with love.... Simple....Awake yourself and decide which way you will create with whom you will side, Truth or idols....


Freedom is too heavy load for most.... They want chains or scapegoats....The truth is we are all responsible for all there is ....

Death dont exist but freedom exist.....Most think in reverse of the Truth....They think that freedom dont exist and that death is real....They dont have faith in themselves at all....Loving ourself and our neighbor in the same manner is the only absolute law....

We are lucky we live the times that are changi’in before our eyes like in Bob Dylan song....

Ok i calm down.... :)






thecarpathion, thanks for the summary I didn't say you should believe me but if for one brief moment you thought this could be true you might actually look into this and remove yourself from your security blanket. I'm not here to convince you of what I said but to allow you to understand that there are millions of people waking up. It's called "The Great Awakening"
Mahgister, I like your statement that freedom is a load for most, they want chains, well said, I will remember that piece of wisdom.
I will add another piece of wisdom, until all of us wake up, nothing will change, it will just keep getting worse. They fear that day might occur, because it will be their end.
Pretty sad and insulting to be asked for receipts for dead peers. I’m a musician, before Covid I was touring constantly. I actually got Covid on a flight home from Berlin. Since then, it’s gone from scary to absolutely dark. And yes, I’ve lost close friends, far friends, and friends of friends. It’s exponential. So forgive if I have zero patience for self righteous tinfoil-hat skeptics masquerading as “critical thinkers”. Next you’ll say Antifa is a terrorist organization and “all lives matter.” I suggest easing up on watching the news and trying on some outside perspectives for size. I’m only 42, bit I’ve been very much around, and sorry, but the situation we’re in is nothing to be proud of.

I actually do appreciate this thread though, as it’s weeded out the opinions of whom I’ll take less seriously moving forward.


au_lait, yes I believe your telling the truth because this virus effects mostly older people with compromised immune systems much more then the young. How many thousands of people die from the common flu virus every year. We never shut the whole country down over that. I'm suggesting that the Covid 19 is no worse then the common flu but can be deadly to the vulnerable.
