Can we yet admit that the whole George Floyd thing was irrational national hysteria?

You can still see it as poor policing, but we now know the guy was a career criminal on a cocktail of potentially lethal drugs, the cop wasn't racist, Minneapolis police procedure WAS followed, etc.

Maybe, we don't do the multiple golden caskets again.

@tompfoster @elonmusk Agree with the overall sentiment but, to be fair, Nowak’s wound was almost certainly fatal no matter what the response.

[Shant @shanttd]

@Timcast I guess it’s time to raise some hell.

@ZKomala @ARIKAHENRY @Pandeism I admit I have a gap when it comes to Scriabin. I studied his etudes and a poem (Prometheus) in college but that’s about it. Can you recommend a favorite piece?

[Shant @shanttd]

@ZKomala @ARIKAHENRY @Pandeism Yes that’s him! I remember hearing a nocturne from him that I really liked.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Did you know that official police policy requires them to be racist against Whites? It is deeply wrong and must change NOW.

[Shant @shanttd]

@SarcasmLiving @Saganismm Say what? Why commit to anything if (you believe) the evidence is lacking? It’s entirely legitimate to say “I’ll hold off until there’s more information.” In fact, I think that tends to be the wisest approach.

You disagree?

[Shant @shanttd]

@irfansyed_real @Saganismm Appreciate that last sentence. Evidence is a long ways from proof.

[Shant @shanttd]

@Mimi433496Mimi @Saganismm I’ll bite. Where should he have looked?

[Shant @shanttd]

Maybe more like potential evidence. I agree with you that, on an intuitive level, the structure & laws of the universe implies design…potentially. The designer, if there is one (or many working together), doesn’t have to be God, though.

It’s also entirely possible that there is no designer at all. Sometimes the intuitive signs & signals lead you to the wrong conclusion entirely. In the quantum realm that seems to be true more often than not.

@ZKomala @ARIKAHENRY @Pandeism I’m happy because you’re happy. 😁

[Shant @shanttd]

@ZKomala @ARIKAHENRY @Pandeism An amazing piece. Barber was supremely gifted.

[Shant @shanttd]

Indeed your ears serve you well! If you listen to the serenade it is VERY similar to the waltz. There’s no question it was the direct inspiration. It’s even in the same key as the waltz.

I will check out Karlowicz. You once turned me onto another polish composer which you love but I can’t recall his name…

[Shant @shanttd]

@ZKomala @ARIKAHENRY @Pandeism So it turns out you were correct about the Petite Suite inspiring him. 🎯

@memcculloch @themagaking You don’t believe he was a net positive for the UK?

[Shant @shanttd]

This is so true. I’ve had stimulants prescribed to me by primary care physicians with absolutely no official ADHD diagnosis.

Do stimulants make you more focused? Sure. You can also swat a fly by dropping a piano on it.

Psychiatrists lose income if they don’t prescribe meds. The system is utterly broken.

@CraftBeerUni @Aurasgma @WorkElizab If that’s true then the white “dot” in the lower case d counts as well. Needless to say this test is not at all a marker of intelligence.

[Shant @shanttd]

It’s never to late to learn my friend. The pleasure you get from listening is magnified exponentially when you play. Something about the vibrations from the strings.

Btw since you like Ravel, here’s a little known piece that’s one of my favorite. ‘Waltz in the style of Borodin’:

The only thing that stops violent men from raping you and your society are other men who are equally willing to be violent in stopping the rapists. The West has decided that the highest virtue is to quietly comply with the destruction of your civilization because to do otherwise is bigoted toward the rapists. It really is that simple.
