Diavolo

Sup, dude? Always ready to talk about music and almost any stuff. See ya around🤘😎

2 years???  My dude, enjoy!

Willing to manage a long night?

Practice guitar all day and watch dome Tekken 7 tournament. And yours?

Yeah... But you know What?  F**k Hume.  I'm tired of systematic thinking and I want to do something New. I'm minutes away of buying an electric guitar and fulfill a dream.

Hey, are you Santa's daughter or something?  You live by giving a lot of presents, which is awesone!

Almost finishig Spinoza's Ethics (Gonna start to read it again), in order to be able to study David Humme's work,  that was dedicated to critique the Rationalists, including Spinoza. I'm also finishing The Genealogy of Morals: a well known book among philosophers writen by Nietzsche.

What are you up to?

@BrokenAngel

I am studying Ethics Demonstrated According to Geometric Order, by Baruch Spinoza. And the series I'm watching is Better Call Saul, although I also started watching a documentary about cats.

Hey, a good wife is always annoying, isn't she?

It's very nice of you to start a conversation like this. I say it personally.

Today I am having a day of study and, at intervals, I watch a series. Or used to since I reached the most recent chapter and I have to wait for the new one to come out.

How was your day?

That's a hell different.

In that case, it would be a really cool gift.

Let's make an experiment:

Dude, that thing looks boring.  (Are you going to believe me and get sad? or are you going to get angry and defend your taste while telling me how awful I am?  If the second thing happens,  What is the point of asking an oppinion ? I mean, it is not enough if you like it?  Why need external validation?. Trust yourself more)

Have a lovely day. 😈

Maybe not in this profile, I agree, but such conversation is important.

In big industries, the worker becomes part of the machine, even in the music industry. The musician is a worker alienated from the economic benefits obtained through the final product, a proletarian. The owner of capital and the means of production keep the added value of the final product, giving the worker the necessary wage just to stay alive.

This is analyzed from the historical materialism proposed by Marx as a method to understand how the world works today. What the person who wrote this meant to tell you is that every act carried out within a social context is mediated by the relationship between production, consumption, and who benefits the most from what is produced and what is consumed. And to finish understanding music, it is necessary to carry out a historical materialist analysis of it

I suppose he talks about the Marxist principle related to the class struggle: those who control the means of production and obtain the surplus value or the added value of what is generated, that is, the capitalists, and those who are alienated from said surplus value, nevertheless carry out work, the proletariat.

I'm so sorry, sir. But if you are referring to me, I am nothing that you affirmed that I am. You need to know me a lot. Also, you do not say why I am that you say I am. And if you could argue, I would not be interested in debating with a strange sexagenary of the Internet about who I am. I have more important things to do. Meanwhile, I will respect your existence and your ability to think about me what you want.

The fun comes in various forms, dude😎

But do you have any particular inclination regarding the musical matter? I mean, how do you usually find yourself talking about it: technically? Comparatively? Emotionally? Philosophically? Perhaps there will always be a bit of all that and more in these talks, but I imagine that some of these points will prevail. the question is already solved: because is fun, right? Fun is your stimuli.

What is the goal of these interactions? In the philosophy forum that I opened here as a cult, I made a topic referring to "why are you here? What are you looking for in this place? I think there must be very few people who have questioned why they are interacting, uploading their photos, and posting in this forum, which is far from handling real underground and subserving topics.

I guess as some jazz player said, "talking about music is like dancing about architecture." It could represent a waste of time unless the previous questions are clarified already. I also look for new stimuli that help me re-understand reality. Most of the insignificant topics spammed here make me yawn, still  I have the conviction that it won't always be like that; of what more interesting people will come and land new topics on the table. I don't mind shallow topics, but shallowness can not be everything, dude.

I think you are being very benevolent with the matter of politics, here nobody knows how to treat the subject correctly and, if there is a clash of ideas, the subject is censored. It happened to me with a topic I made about how to resist misinformation: it was removed from the list of recent topics. As for music and art ... well ... I'm always open to dialogue
