Pragmatism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanta

I'm not saying you 'have to' simply spend twenty-minutes grokking all of this philosophical theory while on a small dose of incinerated cannabis that your individual mind and body is 'comfortable' with, and then making it pragmatically real.

Appreciation
Easy to loop through the Aesthetics vs. Level 1 vs. Music "relationship", which is in quotes because the "amounts and proportions of each aspect" are variable, in terms of what we are talking about, in individual cases. If there are "no aesthetics" involved, then - literally - nothing matters. Of course, this is not what we're talking about. Imagine a car radio with poor AM reception. How bad does it have to get before "the Music is gone"?  If there are "no level 1 demands", then no need to read here. If there are, what are they? That's where personal aesthetics can serve as a guide in building a system. The fact that our technical knowledge and implementation are wanting makes it "interesting". The idea of what Romy said about buyer's remorse is also true, and there might be many and variable reasons for it, along the lines of the first sentence of this post. Lying to oneself is common enough, for Myriad reasons, and no reason hi-fi would be exempt from this. Just thickens the goo we can get stuck in.

Nail, you do not exactly understand what people are saying to you. If you find that listening to different versions of audio while you are high makes you happy, then that is wonderful for you. But it has absolutely nothing to do with advanced audio reproduction techniques, because you have failed to demonstrate that it is specifically the audio methods that impact your psychological state. You were trying to say something in your commentary when you attempted to describe yourself, but you have overused AI so much that your expression has lost all meaning.


I have been using AI lately to write my messages because, if I try to write them myself, even I do not fully understand what is that fuck I wrote myself. However, every single phrase that I put under my name, using AI as a spell checker, is something I can stand behind and explain in my own words. I asked you to explain, in your own words, what you are trying to say, and you ignored it. I can assure you that without your explanation, any person on Earth will ignore your messages because they are meaningless. I understand that they may have meaning to you, but as a Taoist master, you need to ask yourself why you are doing this.

I am not trying to be negative toward you. I am trying to show you that, so far, what you publish is not audio exploration, but rather the journey of a person who is high and trying to justify an unconscious state of existence. If you want to add meaning to it, it is your responsibility to provide that meaning, and if you insist on sharing it, then it is your responsibility to make others understand—especially when they explicitly explain to you why they do not. It is up to you. If you keep your creative output confined to this specific thread, you will not have any administrative actions from me.

At the last and the very important part that you do not understand yourself so far, If what you are describing is all that you do with audio then I'm absolutely assure you That anything that you do has absolutely nothing to do with musicality.
