He made a three hour video on the topic. Did you watch it?

Prison would stop very few from having sex lol Religions figured that out long ago

I eat to maximize state. I track state over time not calories. This food = this state. This quantity of this food = this state. This frequency of eating = this state. This food = this mental performance. This food = this physical performance. This food = this sexual performance. This = this pain. This = this sleep quality. Doing this = causes this. This sun expore at this time = this sleep quality, this digestion quality, this core default temperature, this... Hundrends of experiments tracking hundereds of variables. All stored in memory. Its automatic. Experimentation, Observation

It's a bit more specific than just a style. let's imagine you were to post gongs every week. week 1: " i love this gong so good for contemplation", week 2: "this really is one of he best gongs" week 3... week 4. Every time you post music i have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out what changed, the variation is so slight. Its like week 1: valina ice cream with 2 sesame sprinkles, week 2: vanilla ice cream with 4 sesame sprinkles. week 3: vanilla ice cream with 12 sesame sprinkles "and this time you emphasize how amazing it is" lol week 1 Week 2 week 3 week 4.. Do you see how over specific this is? It all blends together. It's like every heavy metal song I have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out oh OK "the yelling in this one is different" 😂

Oh not to worry i enjoyed every bit of it.

That might be the point, Its "Brian Eno. He designed ambient music to be "as ignorable as it is interesting" that was his principle."

Right, I'm not arguing with him, I'm asking why this helps him contemplate. Practically: find what works for you and use that as a tool. But I want something deeper than that. Why is that something that is rooted into his psyche and not mine. And why does it not disrupt him and it disrupts mine?

That's a fair point, let me be more exact of the pattern. Here I analyze the last nine tracks on the blog. There's genuinely positive, bittersweet, and sad tracks in there. It's not one emotion. But the reason it all feels the same is because the other dimensions of music across the playlist are the same. Arousal level: low to low-moderate (8/9) Tempo: mid-tempo (7/9) Harmonic complexity: predictable, no surprises (9/9) Sonic aesthetic: atmospheric, dreamy, soft electronic production (7/9) Genre family: chill indie-electronic ecosystem (7/9) Texture: nothing harsh, nothing abrasive, nothing jarring (9/9) Overall vibe: beautiful, gentle, safe (9/9) - I used Ai to help do analysis for this. Not that it wasn't obvious lol problem is articulating things because you're very specific on language. In 7 of the tracks the tempo background drum beat is identical. boom tab boom tab boom tab... It's like giving me nine heavy metal pieces of music and then telling me they're not all the same? They are harmonic electronic dreamy atmospheric production style. Producing a similar nervous system stimulation.

The INTP point might have some truth to it for Leo. I think Leo would respond to this whole thread that it's complete preference, whatever works for you. He shares music that works for him. But I don't think he has addressed why it's that specific emotion that he prefers over others. What the deeper meaning or map behind it is?

The most conscious answer has arrived 😂. We be playing monkey games. Cheers!

😂😂

I was waiting for Leo to bestow upon us the most conscious answer.

LOl both pictures look like you're thinking "what am I looking at?" "why do I exist?" Staring into the void.

Dont tell me we are in the presence of a pepe millionnaire. 😂 I bet they all look exactly like this.

Im imagining first kicking someone off a mountain. KONKering. For some reason, this invokes imagining speed and intelligent body motion. Like I'm in a battle dodging attacks like a God.

I think it makes sense for contemplation work that something that doesn't trigger too many emotional swings would be better suited. I think different frames help contemplate different things. I noticed some video game high energy music makes it easier to contemplate some types of ideas but not good for others. Unclear.

Id like to categorize the feelings/frame people are chasing with there music preferences. Instead of genra we should have "frames".

Oh ye i get that, my first break up i was listening to cold play lmfao and crying. Yes i can see, its a sadness and spilling ones feelings out. It reminds me of Adele. Definitly different from leos preferences that tends to be about "the beautify of life" but with a nostalgic tone. Nostalgic beautify of life is the feeling that hits. Slight sadness to it but beauty of reality.

@Leo Gura The music you like is the emotion you want to feel. Do you see this? Most of the music your choosing are all a very similar emotional tone. Which is your preferred emotion for contemplation?

I can see the appeal Oh i realized they are singing about there life experiences and i dont relate to it. Likely plays a major role why it doesn't personality resonate. Like that specific thing they are singing about i have never felt that way about life or relationships or have never had that struggle.

@Miguel1 I like the selections that you've picked over Leo's, because there's more of a story involved. The genra still cause "distortion". Like for example "all heavy metal sounds the same". Do you get that vibe with some genras? lol. Its sort of like that with this one. Of course this is a personal things happening and not truth. Overall im not satisfied with the answer that music is preference. I want a complete picture here. I can't help but think that the appeal of this genre would be rooted in your childhood. I have similar preferences in the italian genra.

LMAO is that the trap i fell for?

Would porn still exist without capitalism?
