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.)

If you think this last video analysis apply only to Soviet era or Nazism era and not to America right now you are deluded...

I cannot go out free on most commercial places right now in Quebec...

Why?

Because of sound scientific reasons?

😁😊

Awake yourself, read about science, acoustic,and spirituality, and quit politic and marketing programming...

Some others read Nietszche in their own "psychopathological" way and have decided for themselves that men are not mature enough to own anything....They say that tomorrow " we will own nothing and be happy".... This tomorow is now...

Be free....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vaccinated or not... It is not the matter...

The matter is FREEDOM...and DEMOCACY.... And SCIENCE...

Pfizer or Moderna has nothing to do with science... It has nothing to do  even with sound technology...

Pfizer is a financial controlled company...This is the matter...

If you think otherwise i am sorry for you my friend...Read the criminal past fines history...Read their actual "transparent" description of their product  totally untested content on animals or humans...Read how their vaccines save them from bankrupcy...Read about who are the people who OWN these companies...

I apologize another time to my past rude answers to you....

i am too sad about humanity to have grudges against anyone...
