Now that we are on the subject of music I have a pretext to shoehorn this into a thread:

Yep, I’ve said this before but musical taste is one of those things that is deeply personal.

Many things are, and yet people don't realize it. So they "self-report" or lay it out in the open without realizing it all the time. "How did you know that about me??"

Interesting perspective. Or moods?

I literally have like 5-10 different ”frames” I juggle between:

- Majestic

- Pain, heartbreak

- Anger / Aggression

- Hip Hop beats that I like to kill with my dance

- Bittersweet

- Fun (mostly fun EDM, club and pop music)

- Sexy / Love Making

- Chill

- Contemplative

- Uplifting, Upbeat

And more

There is also a genre called Majestic Casual. It’s very beautiful:

I think it makes sense for contemplation work that something that doesn't trigger too many emotional swings would be better suited.

Quote

Brian Eno understood this: he designed ambient music explicitly to be "as ignorable as it is interesting." The key quality is that it doesn't grab your attention and pull it somewhere. The music that tends to be worst for any contemplation is music that keeps hijacking your attention

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.

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.

Correct. Highly emotional music is not good for contemplation.

I do those music more for my own emotional release, healing, and to make art, and to touch normies on a deep emotional level.

I tried the 'Feel Free' a couple times just to see what it is.  Interesting Leo made a blog post about it.  People do get addicted to it and it's not cheap.

Yes, I was gonna say. It is derailing too deep into that here.

I feel like we are all waiting for someone who has contemplated the subject deeply to take charge and start it. There’s been many in-depth sub-convos about it but not one fully dedicated to it yet.

But yes, enough about it here.

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

Such anti climax indeed.

Then again, he told us to fuck off earlier for shitting on (read: discuss apppropiately) his music taste, so you can only blame yourself for such expectations

You can jerk each other off about how deep y'all are and have your climax in a new thread.

@Leo Gura, is God having different POVs at the same time?

When you said God becomes a bird, did you mean that it becomes a bird and starts having experience as a bird or when a bird appears to you?

In this entire world, there's apx 8.2 billion people. Of all of them, how many people will be truly in stage green or above, if you can make guess? Because I remember you saying the most liberal parts of the world, even in the most developed countries, only maybe 10 percent or less of the people have truly realized stage green. So adding those and in the entire rest of the world, how many of the entire 8.2 billion people would be in stage green or above?

Yeah, it's few. Less than 10% globally.

Mild Green is pretty common but solid deep Green is much rarer.

Much of that mild Green is just cultural conformity.
