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.
@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?
@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?
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.
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…
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.
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.
