have you ever played The Sims or Civilzation? you exist as a god in that universe so why do you assume there is nothing above the universe we exist in?

we are far more likely to exist as a simulation of something than as a "natural" thing.

>Your inability of making any meaningful distinction between Beethoven's 138 opus' and an album of songs based on 4 chords and only decent lyrics is just a sign of intellectual cowardice.

I can make distinctions between them. That's the point. I'm not comparing them to each other at all because I feel it's a pointless exercise.


> Beethoven was just a great composer everyone know of I could mention,min order to show how lacking and almost pathetic ITAOTS is

I don't even like the album I just don't see how someone else being better at a different kind of music has any bearing on it.

Forget I'm talking about Beethoven or Neutral Milk Hotel. Why do you feel the need to compare two forms of music that have no similar intention or structure to each other?

In fact tell me how any classical composer is better than NMH at everything NMH attempts to do? Do you believe that NMH set out to do something that classical music does better? You literally can't because they are different fucking things and are incomparable. You can tell me how Beethoven is better than Bach or how the Pixies are better than NMH because they're similar enough to compare. You're quite literally comparing apples with fucking potatoes in an attempt to appear cultured.
