Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption

Came across this today. A lot of posts bring up the issue of "how much is enough?" or "when is audio consumption justified" etc.

Does this Nietzsche aphorism apply to audio buying? You be the judge! 

Friedrich Nietzsche: “Danger in riches. — Only he who has spirit ought to have possessions: otherwise possessions are a public danger. For the possessor who does not know how to make use of the free time which his possessions could purchase him will always continue to strive after possessions: this striving will constitute his entertainment, his strategy in his war against boredom. 

Thus in the end the moderate possessions that would suffice the man of spirit are transformed into actual riches – riches which are in fact the glittering product of spiritual dependence and poverty. They only appear quite different from what their wretched origin would lead one to expect because they are able to mask themselves with art and culture: for they are, of course, able to purchase masks. By this means they arouse envy in the poorer and the uncultivated – who at bottom are envying culture and fail to recognize the masks as masks – and gradually prepare a social revolution: for gilded vulgarity and histrionic self-inflation in a supposed ‘enjoyment of culture’ instil into the latter the idea ‘it is only a matter of money’ – whereas, while it is to some extent a matter of money, it is much more a matter of spirit.” 

Nietzsche, Friedrich. 1996. Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits. Cambridge University Press. (p. 283-4, an aphorism no. 310)

I'm pretty sure @mahgister will want to read this one! (Because they speak so artfully about avoiding the diversion that consumption poses to the quest for true aesthetic and acoustic excellence.)

I never wanted to reduce Freud Genius you are right about him...

But before Freud on a larger scale someone understood human unconscious in a way never before understood...Mandeville was never hypnotized by the libido only power and his insight of collective soul is overpassed only By Carl Jung after him...

Freud nephew Bernays worked his uncle theory through Mandeville and pass all that to CIA and other mnanipulative agencies and corporate powers... the Nazi scientists inspired them a lot also and they never read Mandeville which is an influence mainly in english people culture or in the subterranean societies in the continent...

Guess what Napoleon ( who is not ONLY the monster who some think he was) and France revolution was fighting against ?

Guess against who the pilgrims coming to America to keep their freedom were against? Totalitarian controlling feudal and religious societies in Europe and other deep subterranean controlling factions...

Guess how the first world war was programmed to be, and especially the Versailles treaty after it was programmed to create central bankers control and the second war inevitable modulo the Hitler puppet controlled by banks who are the ONLY reason why Hitler was able to seize power...

You know how Lenin was able to go from Swiss to Russia with enough money to finance his propaganda ? Do you think he sell the gold jewels of his mother or he make a fortune in business? 😊 Ask to the first Russian who receive him from debarking the train...Who was with him?

The original friendship of the first fathers of the American revolution and France were united against subterranean controlling feudal and CORPORATE european societies... But America and France were subverted to reverse to the masters behind the veil very soon and programmed to forgot about freedom soon ...Anyway the slave market which Napoleon fight against was very lucrative in America and in England ...

Nowadays who are the masters of Macron puppet and Biden Puppet ? they are the same men in the two countries...

 

All history is too deep to be read and understood by historians only, only a multidisciplanary analysis can did it....

Read Soljenitsyn who was never an historian to understood modern Russia...

Read Tocqueville who was never an historian to understood the limit of democracy power in America...

Idiot will call me a conspiracy theorist... Idiot dont read history...They repeat controlling mantras...

Now i wanted to all of you to think about this proven fact:

If Adam Smith and all the liberal conception of economy trace back to Mandeville and if all Karl Marx class struggles is only a weakened version of the class struggles in Mandeville...

And if Mandeville understanding of mass programming exceede any liberal or communist propagandist in intelligence and power what about the distinction between left and right wing ideologies?

They are only artefacts of control for the masses and for idiots to stick to them...

You got the point?
