Hello everyone. Well, I've been enjoying this all immensely! Please continue; nothing is better than watching cognitive agility in the service of, well...
I knew that when people started describing the "output" of a tool (read: turntable) as one that engenders the experience of "beauty" (that it what Valin said on the TW TT, right?) that it would not be long before the priests-of-things would call forth their Krakens.
"But maybe me [sic] concept of "quality" hasn't kept up with modern day view."
My, there's a statement that deserves some deeper discussion.
You know, and its just a cursory observation on my behalf, but my German heritage is wondering to itself whether the Will-to-be-a-Big-Me that I see derives in some way from a tribal Prussian past? You know what I'm talking about, that crazy, crazy evolution of collective consciousness reflected in hierarchies - from kin to clan to village to polis to state to nation-state - that somehow has not evolved enough just yet to know where it is, or that their are levels at all. Too busy looking at "things" for answers, perhaps...
Which brings me to:
As I understand empiric method, any injunctive engaged is necessarily subservient to the obsrevations of those injunctives.
I mean, many scientific materialists who default towards looking for the determintive truth in the objects which they see (and wish to control through the formal operations of their cognitive mind, and which they believe IS the mind, if they admit "mind" exists at all...) invariably say that they only need to manipulate matter (make a tool) to know the truth of that tool's funtion - mechanic or aesthetic - in reality. Interestingly, it is also fairly well agreed that this worldview is a hallmark of a certain level of mind; one that must necessarily relegate all worldviews that would require it to examine the limitations of its default cognitive motion, and which, necessarily, produces a reflex negative reaction to all minds that threaten that materialist worldview.
Jeez, have we observed anything like that lately?
Anyway, maybe its just me, but the progression of the above appears all too symptomatic.
Just as a side-note, as a writer, I don't know any writers who actually call themselves authors. Maybe its the translation thing, but I also don't know any writers who actually think that writing a technical paper is writing, much less author-ing. Oh yes, I "authored" a few TAS reviews myself, blah, blah...
Do any of you remember me, its been a long time? Well, the moderators certainly do; I've killed too many scientific materials and they won't let me talk to them any more (you know, scientific materialists react badly when they don't get their way...).
But, in their glowing knowledge, perhaps they will once more, oh just this once, let me through...
You know, because, sometimes it is actually killing Dragons...
