Nietzsche and Runaway Audio Consumption

I haven’t read all the way thru yet, to catch up on this entire thread ... but plan to when I get home late tonight from my Mom’s house, which is where we all spend the majority of Christmas Eve day together, celebrating.

Although I have something I’d like to share now.

I tend to be a systems thinker, and am intrigued by how "all" things work (and don’t work), as a system. I don’t claim to be half as bright as a lot of the folks who hang out in this group, just bright enough, really, that I can follow along with and enjoy most of it. Given all of that, I think @mahgister has said it quite well w/ the following quote:

"I think living system will teach us more about atoms than atoms would ever teach us by themselves alone about living system." @mahgister

I want to wish you ALL a joyous, and happy holiday ... whatever version that may be for you. Even those of you who’re completely solo. As the OP, @hilde45 has pointed out in his post:

Thus in the end the moderate possessions that would suffice the man of spirit are transformed into actual riches. Nietzsche

this reminds me that we can all experience bliss from our enjoyment of this hobby of ours, regardless of our budget. The choice is ours.

And to you, @mahgister I think that is a very astute comment you made ... and I thank you for your wisdom and insight.

May we all get a good listening session in tomorrow.

Peace, to all of you ...

"If we think that the world of organisms is a world of machines, we will begin to treat each other as machines. That is the huge danger of this whole mechanistic model of organisms. That's this terrible nightmare coming true. My worry there was the worry expressed by William Blake: 'What seems to be is, to those to whom it seems to be and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be.' "

Imagination is more powerful than anything real?

Why?

Because our own imagination is the mother of OUR reality... Without a father this mother deliver only half-dead monsters haunting her and created only by his uncontrolled dreams...

Guess who is the father?

Call it unity, God, love, spirit, the tao, the name dont matter because to deliver a children we need a mother AND a father....The names matter not....

By the way for my fellow english reader who love freedom...No spirit is so great and free than William Blake who contrary to Niesztche never fall for a science and technology without a soul...He was wise among the wisest and his prophecies and mythological poems are WARNING in the midst of the Great-Britain industrial age and Empire and technology of enslavement using Mandeville recipe book...Blake wrote ONLY  one prophecy about the destruction of mankind and of the soul...I cannot say how i love William Blake ... A true seer, poet and an artist engraver  impossible to forgot, the greatest engraver after Dûrer, and a genius akin to Old testament prophets...English people produced many giants, Blake is not the shortest of those...

Your kind words really moved me in my isolated Christmast...

I wish you the best with my prayer and heart....

And to you, @mahgister I think that is a very astute comment you made ... and I thank you for your wisdom and insight.

If someone dont see miracles and moving mysteries in sound and music like in light and colors , he is blind and deaf, and know nothing about sciences...

Science is the altar of living experience...

Not a chain of dogmas based on conditioning of the mind set , a dead end, which is way worst than children faith which is a golden beginning ....

My greatest discovery here for the last 2 years was acoustic and psycho acoustic experience...This changed my life as a music lover...Any acoustic treatise is way more than a cooking book recipe  it is an invitation through experiments to experience  miraculous transformation of ourselves  through our own hearing experiments...
