Antidote to Nihilism - Jordan Peterson "MUSIC"

Like your side doesn't dismiss our sources. Here's another futility thread, so much fun, fun,fun,fun. NOT

@dadork Those people don’t mater.

Intellectual curiosity, you either have it, or you don’t. This post is for the ones that are interested in what is being said, not for the ones who only care about who is saying it 🙏

Glad you enjoyed the video, the full interview was very interesting as well.

Isn't the OP the guy who just yesterday posted that someone should F*** Off and called this forum a sh*thole site?  It raises one's intellectual curiosity as to why he posts on this site at all.

In his definitive masterpiece, "the Glass Bead Game" Herman Hesse somewhere in the book spoke about the
historical fact concerning some Chinese emperor who investigated about Music moral balance chords harmony decline to understand troubles in the empire...

For our spealial materialistic superficial mind this is preposterous...

But perhaps there is more here about this relation between music and spiritual conciousness and balance in the relation between the soul/body than what just what meet the eye...

Anyway i am personally convinced that some music genre and style are toxic...
I dont reject the talent of any musician in any stylistic genre...

But all genres of music are not equal...

An indian raga or the art of the fugue of Bach are not "equal" to some commercial destructive marketted sounds like some raps are..Even crocodile have tastes...But all tastes are not equal...But the social cohesive power of music stay there even in the worst case.... Melody, harmony, rythm put all people TOGETHER ....Nevermind the esthetical, spiuritual precide value levels of the music event itself...

Speech sound and musical sound make us humans, not technology which is only a secondary effects of these prime phenomenon...Only fire technology compare with perhaps...

The decline of popular music in north america generally, because they are exceptions, i spoke about the general trends here, reflect the decline of america itself...

The most important sentence in the Peterson video for me is :" All arts aspired to be music"... It is tremendously true concerning one of the greatest art : Poetry...

Another art which aspire to be music is not so well known : it is the art of Reason...

For sure i dont suggest here that the specific musical cultural phenomena is the "cause" of decline or ascent in creativity in social harmony, and in sane moral life like the Chinese emperor think... Only that all part of the cosmos reflect the WHOLE... A very old idea that science never could ever kill but an idea that continuously inspire scientists...Save for sure for materialist scientist, an endangered species now...
