realistically speaking, when someone commits to a serious relationship one is always thinking of eventually having children and I might be a schizo, sure whatever, but there are some signs that what the schizos were saying 1-2 years ago about the vaccine might be true, specially about the genetic sequence of the mrna integrating into the genome. From my very basic understanding, this genetic info would then be passed to your children.

We are already living in the genetic engineering era. Viruses,pathogens, bacteria, food, seeds and now humans and we still have no clue about the possible consequences and ramifications, despite all the low iq retards yelling that x thing is safe and effective. Some experiment gone bad could eventually make us all sterile and wipe humanity off the planet.

Inspired tangentially by this post >>20439171:
How does rap music work as a social activity? Why is it so popular despite being so verbal?
I mean with pop-music it's so repetitive, it's so disjointed and lacking in narrative that it can be totally processed passively. Dance music even more so, you just let your body follow the beat.
But with hip hop you have to listen to the lyrics. Whereas if pop music is playing in the background you can theoretically still have a conversation, but with rap music you have to fucking listen to the narrative, the wordplay.
Even with Bob Dylan or Simon & Garfunkle, there's a chance you can just follow the tone or melody of the voice rather than focus on the lyrics. But rap music is like Leonard Cohen in the sense that you have to stop all other social activity and listen to it.
Maybe I'm just a moron who can't "fart and walk" as they say, but it seems like a sure fire way to make everyone stop interacting with oneanother is play a rap song that the crowd hasn't heard before.

Most of rap as well as pop and other modern musical gengres are based entirely on the beat and the producers making a decent catchy beat. In most cases you can still ""vibe"" to a rap song that has a nice beat and """"flow"""" without paying a single second of attention to the lyrics so its still the same as in many other musical genres. Most people who listen to rap dont give a rats ass about the lyrics and in most cases the lyrics are already retarded mumble shit from heroine and meth addicts.

I listened in to the lyrics and was disgusted by the talk of prostitution, drugs,and gang life. I said to her, "wtf how do you listen to those lyrics?"
She replied with "lol what lyrics? I like the beat"

What experiences have you had to think that most people care about lyrics? Do you think the original claim about rap being a lyric oriented genre which is used as background music should rather indicate that most people don't care about active listening?

>What experiences have you had to think that most people care about lyrics?
great question. I remember many friends in high school who made their chat screen names lyrics from, usually emo songs.
Off the top of my head:
I had a friend who would drive me around and analyze on our way to the bar in the city Kendrick Lamarr and Childish Gambino lyrics. And other rappers too, we'd dissect the word plays. I remember following a twitter called 'bigbiz' or something, he was a Somalian Canadian I think who would offer these sort of analysis of the lyrical themes in new drops by Kendrick or even Lil Uvi Vert. The very idea of the 'concept album' alludes to how much people think about the 'lyrics' be it in rap or
I recently saw a really symbolic video for a FKA Twigs song and all the youtube comments were dying the visual symbolism into the lyrics: which are about her talking to her childhood self and feelings of abandonment.
There was that time a friend yelled across the room of our friend's apartment while playing Metallica's One where he asked if I knew the story behind it.
But the crystalizing moment for me was when my best friend said their brother who was a virtuoso guitarist was "weird" for not listening to the lyrics of songs, but just dissecting the music. And I offered that I was like him: that's why I listen to non-English songs a lot. And it became a kind of Badher-madoff thing, after that, everywhere I looked I started seeing how people emphasized the lyrics

Why is contemplation so conducive to melancholy?
Every once in a while when I get back into reading I enter into a strange mood. I'm normally a very anxious person. Always seeking to fill myself up with something or other, to endlessly distract myself with shallow worries. But when I start to read it's like a whole separate track lying dormant in my brain awakens and I become instantly a different and better person. My anxiety instantly disappears, but then always, as though my mind were compensating or offsetting the loss, my mood plummets.
It's kind of good feeling though in a strange way. Like nothing else in the world matters except my current train of thought and pursuing it obsessively until I obtain something greater.

This may not be relevant to the sensations you describe with reading... but James Pennebaker's research, the gist of it is: people who use more first person pronouns in their writing are statistically more likley to be depressed or even suicidal while those who use more third person pronouns but crucially also lots of causative phrases (because, due to, as a result) tend to be happier. The theory is that those who introspect using the first person pronoun are incapable of separating themselves from situations, while the third person/causative writers take a more detached and objective view of themselves

Thats interesting and I appreicate your anecdotes. I take it you're not american? Our disagreement may stem from being foreigners to one another.

You've been generous with your anecdotes so I'll try with mine. I was taking a health class my sophomore year of high school. The teacher wanted to make a point about music. He took a girls phone and asked what she was listening to. At this time of course it was common for the near constant listening of music, even durinf a class lecture.
She named the song and artist and the teacher looked up the lyrics. He read them aloud to the class. They were depraved lyrics. The girl claimed not to be aware. Maybe she was lying, maybe not. I knew who she was. She was just a dumb teenage girl, very few thoughts crossed her mind. In any case, given the circumstance, I am sure she was only passively listening
The teacher made an excellent point. Young people blast that crap in their ears all the time. But it is passive listening. And thithis is a point he emphasized. What effect does passive listening to such depraved lyrics do to the subconscious?
But I suppose answering that us a tangent. In any case, you can claim my story is merely one example. And thats problem. To make the point you and I are arguing requires establishing a pattern and the use of anecdotes will never be sufficient enough to assure certainty in any hypothesis. So, you'll just have to trust my statment when I say most people dont care about lyrics to a song.

The assumption is that the more emotional distance that you put between yourself and your behaviors, ironically enough the better you are at controlling the negative ones, the linguistic clue of when you start doing this would be when you stop saying things like
>I do this because I am weak and stupid
and start saying things more like
>Underpreperation means I become worried the night before, and I don't get a good night sleep so when I actually do this I am tired and not at my best

my roommate and I got in a discussion about this. I don't see the correlation between the two, but a lot of this place doesn't believe in any sort of free will exercises so it might be moot to even bring up my perspective on it. but I'll bite. the problem with deterministic arguments against listening to foul music, whether religious or not, is that it doesn't account for personhood or a conscious actor between human and object. it would be one thing if people were just slaves to the world around them and let everything control them but such is not the case. like, video games don't necessarily make you violent, nor does listening to Deicide at loud volumes to the chagrin of your parents, housemate or landlord, except maybe being told to turn it down or threats of eviction, worse case scenario. however, to deny people have control over sensations that music, or movies or video games or tv, etc etc denies that the self even exists, that essentially we're just on auto-pilot or worse yet, part of the same primordial substance that produces such violence and innuendo, which if that's the case, we're just as guilty as what the rest of our existence embodies and nothing more. so its self-refuting.

>Young people blast that crap in their ears all the time. But it is passive listening.
Let me be clear, I always thought that people like me, passively listened to music and was shocked to see that people actually paid attention to lyrics. And it was that friend of mine driving around at 9pm to hit up a bar and talk to girls where he was dissecting lyrics with me that opened my mind to all lyrics, not just rap. A few short years later I discovered Sparks.
>To make the point you and I are arguing requires establishing a pattern and the use of anecdotes will never be sufficient enough to assure certainty in any hypothesis
To the contrary, the "anecdote" I really care about is how that crystalized in your mind this idea of lyrics as passive listening.
> I are arguing requires establishing a pattern and the use of anecdotes will never be sufficient enough to assure certainty in any hypothesis.
Yes... and if I hear another person give a similar one-off anecdote, and another... well at some point it's going to reach a critical mass of credibility isn't it?
Or to put it another way: my intention is not for me to instantly persuade an anonymous poster (like you or anyone else) to a different viewpoint, nor is it to be persuaded wholesale myself, nor is it to somehow score 'points' by 'owning' them. My intention is really:

Not him, but as I already mentioned I believe that music in general is probably one of the strongest methods of social influence, manipulation and control, just look at all the different social movements that at its core where sparked due to a few bands (hippies and psychedelic movement in the 60s for example). Most people listen to music as background noise, the average person will eventually "zone out" after a while and its in those relaxed passive states where the brain enters a lower frequency state like alpha or even theta, from what I understand actual hypnosis focuses on lowering the brain activity to those frequencies since your subconscious becomes susceptible to any external input like ideas, noises, images,etc. This can happen when watching or consuming any type of media.

The best way to subvert someone is by making them believe they are consuming entertainment or art when in reality they are consuming elaborated propaganda, at the end its effective propaganda because the target is completely unaware of the fact that they are being brainwashed. Just look at all the retards who watch nightshows and other "comedy" shows every day when in reality they are being indoctrinated by state propaganda.

How do you find it in your heart to care about others? Whenever I feel some wave of altruism in me brewing I remember how others treated me in the past and I instantly lose any will to be any nicer than I have to be on a minimum level to avoid people getting on my case for my lack of it. I know those people who did it to me are not the same people who I would be nice towards but it just seems like emotional cuckoldry to me, to be nice when you yourself have never been shown any kindness. I have nothing to repay or to be thankful for. Nobody is entitled to my kindness. I have zero reasons to be nice to others just so that others could take advantage of it or even perceive it as a sign of weakness and submission, with none of it bringing me any benefit socially.

I have lived for a long time as a loner and still managed to stay in an equilibrium where I did not slip into social retardation and never felt crippling solitude. That being said, I did not live alone. Now that I moved into an own flat, I felt the full force of devastating modern living and I dont know if I like that. Being alone is like a smothering, comfortable blanket on a cold day at this point. Its way too warm, I am sweating and itching all over, but I just have no desire to lift it. And once I lift it, I suddenly realize how disgusting it would be to crawl back into the damp bed. Recently I reached out to someone at work coincidentally, simply because I tried to act like a human and immediately ended up sabotaging myself by declining an offer to meet sometime because this was not part of the plan at all. And then I came out empty-handed with a nagging feeling because I have disturbed the balance. Feel like shit for shuting down an opportunity and at the same time want to just forget that this opportunity was there in the first place.
I truly desire peace and seclusion, but every time I am torn out of it, regret hits me like a ton of bricks. Its like I have been choking out my need for human contact for a long time but it just does not want to die and every time someone pierces my persona beyond stupid small-talk, my grip slips and this instincts manages to catch some air and starts screaming.
I guess I now have walked the full circle of being a shut-in depressed fag. The initial romance evaporated and now the hangover sets in.
Man I want the teenage days back, where suffering had a unique, desirable trait to it, where one could comfortably suffer. Now its just bleak, constant pain.

I don’t care about fame. I would like to work anonymously if that would be possible. I don’t care about money either for that matter. And I have been doing this for a long time off and on. I kind of did it, got frustrated with it, stopped for a while, did it, got frustrated, stopped for a while, but I started again a couple of years ago and I’ve found a new side of it that really inspires me. You just don’t see many people at my age venturing out to do this, maybe because there’s such a steep learning curve and maybe I shouldn’t consider myself a beginner but I do because I’ve not been consistent. I just tend to be someone who is very self conscious and not confident, especially now over my age because I have this hang up where I feel like I was robbed of a few years.

Ah. Thanks. I do think I have some talent and I have that time, which is better than nothing. Unfortunately, art is something that can you have insane talent for and be extremely dedicated, but just never really make anything great. It just works like that sometimes. I think my biggest hang up actually now that I think about it is not my age; but that I see myself as something of an outsider. It’s not just that I’m older than most at the same point, even where I’m from, my personality, stuff like that. It’s not exactly a common aspiration for people where I’m from and I’ve found I don’t really have the same, I don’t know, presentation as a lot of people who are successful at this. There will be a lot of hurdles for me and I’m caught between believing myself and believing firmly I will be successful or being realistic so I can dull the blow of setbacks or lack of traction or whatever. I’m probably thinking to much.

Thank you for letting me get these thoughts out.

Found this particularly beautiful, it’s from the mandaean psalms of Thomas but is thought to be a translation of an even further cult book of which for the most part is lost, you can tell from the repetition patterns its age, and the execution is just beautiful. Really strikes at the mind.

My father, the glad light, the glad light, the glorious.

My father, the glad light, the glad and blessed light.

My father, the glad light, the glad and honored light.
He evoked the aeons of light, he appointed them to the joy of his greatness.

He evoked the aeons of peace, in whom there is no waning or diminution.

He evoked the aeons of light, he summoned his sons and set them up in them.

He evoked the aeons of peace, he summoned his richnessses and set them up in them.

He evoked the aeons of rest, he summoned his angels and set them up in them.
He established dwellings of life and set up living images in them.

He set up living images in them which never perish.

He evoked clouds of brightness, dropping down dew and life,

He summoned a holy fire, giving a sweet burning.

He evoked a wind and and air, breathing the breath of the living.

He evoked holy mountains, sending up fragrant roots.


They are all in agreement and concord: there is no waning or diminution in them,

they are rejoicing and being glad in the glory, full, abiding in eternity.

Fellow outsider here as well. Retain that. Well-integrated artists rarely break new ground. It's the outsiders and iconoclasts who create new art from their isolated perspectives. Obviously, this doesn't mean you or I categorically or inevitably WILL create something genuinely new, but people like you and I are overrepresented among the greats. Hold onto the things that make you different, even though it's a very difficult path. I can tell you that from experience.

They sang the song that elevated humanity. Hundreds of thousands of inspired voices emerged from the global crisis and spoke powerful testimony about the value of life and the wonder of the universe. Their communications would touch the souls of billions and inspire incredible personal and social transformations. They would give birth to a generation of creatives that would outshine even them.
It most definitely was not called "normal," but the opposite: a strangification of experience; a socially infectious enchantment with life and all of existence. It was a psycho-social singularity, a singularity of human relationships including the transpersonal. What led it is the call of wonder, what drove it was the desire of curiosity at its greatest heights of aspiration.
Have you ever had a teacher who truly loved and lived to teach? Who had an overwhelming passion for teaching that made them an outstanding instructor? The kind of teacher who successfully infects students with the desire to learn and explore?
I have! I know they exist! I know how they have touched me! I have felt the same spark of inspiration in so many including writers, philosophers, artists, scientists, and their greatest passions speak of this blissful love of learning. If such passions could touch the hearts of the masses, it would be the single most transformative event in human history.
This is my greatest dream, and one day it will become a reality.

Absolutely. I’ve been watching this show recently that his this guy on it who is basically a ski bum. He’s in his early 30s. He has a job, but not like a careerist sort of one. He just appears so free and happy. For an artist, that last bit might not be achievable but the first bit is essential and that makes me regret sort of the path that I’ve taken so far. You know, it’s just like you can’t erase your past and to some degree it hardens you into something so you worry about whether you can really change.

The thing is you can always start new at any moment. I always think of sports where they’ll show statistics like “a team has never come from 3-0 down in a series”, or “There has never been a pitcher over the age of 35 to throw a perfect game”, etc. Those things can never happen…until they do. And those that do them are the ones who believe and try. I’m actually reading this book by Henry Miller called Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch now and I think it might interest you. It’s hard to sum up, but a large theme is artists who retreat from society, live cheaply and roughly in the outdoors, and work to their vision. It’s a shame art has been so commercialized and fame and money have been tied up in it. All an artist is, is someone who creates art through THEIR own vision, and create it truly. You might also be interested in some of Emerson’s essays like Circles, Poet, and Self-Reliance. I’ve noticed that many people who wish to pursue art don’t because they compare themselves to other commercially successful artists and feel paralyzed. Pursue your dreams of being an artist, and you can’t fail if you create from the heart

Talent can be developed over time. You get better by doing. Many saying that children’s art is the purest form of art anyway. Also you’re comparing your talent to others most likely. There is a clash between idolizing a ski bum who lives off grid and creates art versus not pursuing your dreams because you are worried about talent. I doubt the ski bum worries about his talent except when compared to his past work. Many writers say they aren’t good writers. They just have to write. And with all that writing, something beautiful is eventually crafted. Is it fame and money you’re after? If it is, you’re probably pursuing it the wrong way
