From "Why Truth is the Highest Value": truth requires work. The thought of being corrupted scares the shit out of me.

Only a gun would work on me.

You!

Banning abortion will be good news for some. All relative baby.

What if watching news is in essence very superficial? Bad or good news...

I see them as predomintantly blue. With red I picture less organized tribes. But jihadists for example, they value violence religiously and they considers themselves to be a state. We should get a bit of education on the Islamic world in western schools. I got none. News was my education. 9/11 is basically all I knew about that part of the world. In my school, 95% of geopolitics education we got was about what happened only in my country, that's not very useful.

It just came to me the possibility of making perfumes as a life purpose. I always see the bussiness part of it but it obviously requires someone passionate about perfumes. Is your passion perfumes?

Of course man, that's not a mistake. But you still need to do the understanding. That's not guaranteed even reading a thousand research papers. Leo goes meta as fuck in case you haven't pick that up yet, lol. Meaning his views are not only from the scienific one. Heck, I was part of it, I studied biology and had to asist a lot of lab classes. Yet clueless about any of this.

I invite you to watch this Instagram reel about the reality of being a jazz musician. In a certain sense this is the same hierarchy game as science academy, which is extensively talked in here. So you will inmediately draw a connection. This Instagramer in particular is quite honest in his views. I always wondered how the jazz world is similar to the science world, because jazz is where I am investing my life into. And so I finally found someone expressing this kind of perspective. A meta-perspective. I am really liking the jazz music world, it suits my personality soo well. So this is not about trashing that life-style. I think you can be really happy in that environment, o really hate it.

Well I know, but no one talks about this stuff inside those circles that would be like shooting your own foot and that of your peers. But science is not just special because of Leo talks a bunch about it, society at large literally values more science than art and most people secretly believe that. It doesn't matter because society is so large that the music game exists anyway.

I think this discussion falls into the intellectual subforum. I want to share what it is a very powerful idea about music which I've been contemplating for a while now, this will probably resonate to those who like to compose their own music. And I'll try to explain it simply for the majority that doesn't play music. When you study music theory you are just learning to play the Infinite Song. Every song in existence is just part of one big song, which has every note, every scale, every harmony progression, every rhythms changes imaginable. As a limiting being the challenge is to produce beauty out of different combinations and configurations of notes. You're like a scientist experimenting with different combinations until you find the ones that work. And then you make a business out of that. All of your study of music culminates in you being able to playing effortlessly anything that you want beautifully, that's what's so compelling about the art. The more I study, the more I see the similarities between different songs, and the more I know how to reproduce them. Those songs which at first seemed like a mistery what exactly made them sound so good, now I can pinpoint what makes them the way they are and I can reproduce the art and add my own touch. Because you understand the mind behind the creation of that song. I'll refine my explanation more and more the upcoming years but for now that's what I am intuiting. I always dreamed to crack the code of music for more than a decade, this is my life purpose.

On the other hand I am not making my mind about anything when it comes to the jazz world, I didn't spend even 3 years. I am learning a lot.

Very fun movie. It has lots of good scenes, like the chair one. In my school they have plastic chairs so teachers don't break skulls when they throw them.

I don't think the thing you choose itself must be exclusively creative, but rather how skilled you are at it. @manuel bon What skillset you specificaly picture yourself developing? Like, producing better meditations.

If it was truly your passion you would produce headacheless perfumes

A dog wouldn't fall for that one.

I had a dream about a giant spider eating a bee. Then I saw a picture of a spider eating a bee on Instagram.

You crave playing with others because you want to realize Unity.

Honestly I don't really pay attention to others musicians advice on what should I do except if I that person is my teacher. I am just too focused on doing my thing. So I just go there to experiment on my own. I don't like when another musician tries to control how I have to play. At the end of the day rehearsing is correcting your wrongness, pitfails, etc. But the thing that you really learn is communication. Because there is a balance that has to exist between communicating what the group will do (arrangements, etc) and also allowing freedom for each musician.

It highly depends on being responsible. But I think playing with others, for others, is the rewarding part of music. Imagine if you really enjoy playing on your own, then doing that with others becomes more fun.

I know an expat that loves my culture more than I do.

That's important. I am also integrating the scales in the guitar much more. This is my 3rd year practicing jazz. Not blundering noter takes way to much work at least for me lol. But very cool is to start producing interesting lines. Or what gospel musicians like to call it "perfecting your chops" Such a creative individual. How long have you been listening to him?

Playing with others will help you develop yourself a lot.
