Children associate Christmas with gifts that feel good and that they’ve asked for.
Some very valuable gifts are not pleasant and, for that reason, we would never willingly ask for.
Naughty or Nice.
Rule of Thumb
Beats are easy, usually based on the human heart.
Melodies are higher forms of music…requiring talent and a more sophisticated mind.
Therefore, cRap samples melodies - plagiarizes - adds the usual beats, in complicated variations, usually made by a machine, and then overlays it with word-associations dealing with ego, bling, narcissism, and pussy…let’s not forget pussy.

Go Woke go Broke…but it doesn’t matter. They’ve been peddling these degenerate ideological tropes since the early twentieth century.
They’ve raised generations of Americans - and through America’s dominance, the world’s youth, on gradually increasing subversive lies, undermining, corrupting, seeding minds with nihilistic mythologies.
Albeit all can produce art, if art is defined as the externalization of thoughts - abstractions, wither representing reality or representing the creators reactions, relationships, with reality - we can distinguish good from bad art not only by the impact it has on other minds - its popularity, which can be manufactured using human psychology - but also by its accuracy in relation to a shared world.
For instance, a beat-based music is inferior to a melody-based music…and abstract painting are inferior to realistic painting.
The talent of the artist must be easily distinguished and not presumed as a consequence of marketing.
A chimpanzee can create art - either expressing tis perspective or by imitating what it has been trained to do, given treats to show appreciation.
A computer can also create art, following a program, a manmade program based on the programmers knowledge and understanding, but lacking his memory base, not only the programmers experiential memories - first and second hand - but also his genetic memories, stored in his DNA.
Conventional understanding infected by nihilism, claims that there is no way to evaluate art…all is a matter of taste and perspective…but, like beauty, this is a postmodern lie.
Beauty is about symmetry, and when it is about organic beauty it is also about proportionality, functionality…
A chimpanzee flinging paint on a canvas is not the equal to a child painting a house and flowers.
A dot on a white canvas, is not the same as a a Matisse painting.
A piece of shit on a pedestal is not the equal of an ancient Greek sculpture.
The component of chaos is also a factor…too precise, too much order, and the art loses its heart…its realism.
A perfect musical symphony performed by machines is not the same as one performed by humans.
As it pertains to Aesthetics:
Order = patterns = symmetry
Chaos imposes the necessity for a successful reaction in real time, maintain the degree of order already attained and increasing its quality or tis quantity.
A concession is made - sacrifice - to functionality making proportionality erotic, indicating probability of reproduction and endurance to flux.
Therefore for organisms order is beautiful - symmetry - and functionality, fitness, is attractive - proportionality implying efficiency through physical eloquence, grace…
For man a perfect musical piece performed by machines is not appealing because it fails to capture his imperfections, his tension with flux, his struggle to maintain order within an environment including chaos.
Imperfection has an additional appeal, having to do with the event in space/time we call the Big Bang - “beginning of existence” -
Though scientists, infected by Abrahamic superstitions, seeks for the singularity, it is not to be found, since this event could only have been a near-absoltue Yin/Yang duality.
Imperfection recalls this as a longing for completion, finality, absolution…that never was and can never be.
Just as there are higher/lower life-forms, superior-inferior minds…there is Art and fArt.
Not all art is equal, nor is it in the “eye of the beholder”.
There is music and then there is cRap musak.
There is sophisticated and primal.
Human and manimal.
Again, straight out of the Ayn Rand Objectivist “lexicon”:
aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/music.html
There is only one way to think and to feel about music: the way she does. And for her it wasn’t rap but folk music that the degenerates played or listened to.
And always the sheer irony embedded in her staunch philosophy of individualism…as long as these individuals thought and felt about music [and everything else] exactly like she did!
You may listen to music of different kinds…but you damn well better “appraise” it as she did!
Same with Lyssa and her own clique/claque at KT.
We can say that art, like language, exposes the essence of the creator, his true motives, his true quality, his true intelligence…his true spirit.
Those that he attracts also expose themselves through their choice…exposing their judgment, discrimination, integrations…attractions.
Harmony = reduced repulsion.
Synchronicity, in the Greek sense.
Typical intellectual contraption bullshit.
Really, imagine you are reacting to a work of art or to a musical composition.
And someone insists that unless you share their own assumptions about the essence of creation, artistic motives, and the quality of one’s intelligence/spirit, your own judgment is degenerate.
Indeed, let Lyssa note her reactions to particular works of art/fArt we are all likely to be familiar with.
Let her describe in some detail what she means by “Harmony = reduced repulsion” in reacting to it.
Same with music.
Synchronicity, in the Greek sense?
Let her link us to a piece of music she values and a piece of music she deems to be cRap, and encompass more in depth what this synchronicity consists of.
Why does the author’s intention always have to equate with an ‘intellectual’ construction, where it’s obviously an accepted fact that harmony has that distinction, as vocal aesthetics do ‘regress’ into the finer points of interpretation on basis ranging anywhere from the colloquial to the artificial? But that process is emulated by re-presentation, and that either tangents, superceeds or mixes various genres.
To wit: a late writer, the author of Sexus-Nexus, did dabble in painting, he later realized that his impatiency in not being patient with drying the overlays of succeeding prgogressions, day by day, resulted in color mixes not originally intended.
The analogy of the intended constructed formal pattern that has a basic need for lasting structure, is less insecure , insensitive in adapting that structural evolved model.if I may , leaning toward that hidenness which covers thee author and the source toward a classical, or baroque mode of representation such hiddenness of intentions; rather then setting up ‘objectivity’ as some mind of goal.
That is the reason , that there is , in one sense, no breakup or down, of any sense of an aesthetic emulation that could correlate the classical with the post modern.
Regardless of what any one says, there is a need to sustain some form of structural unity between both, the impressed and expressed modes of representation, and the only unembiguous thing that can be said at this point, is that it simply goes with the flow, regardless of where it’s coming from or going toward.
“Intellectual”, as opposed of emotional?
One is intentional, lucid, the other not…and so the first can conceal and idealize whereas the second may reveal what the first is attempting to conceal…if in no other way than by contradicting it, creating a distinct dissonance…a disturbance.
But this is how all lies are exposed, no?
The mind contradicts the body, as if it can fully control and conceal it.
When such a conflict arises I always take the body as the honest one, and the words, used by the mind, as spin doctoring.
For instance…you see the responses…to my reasoning.
They claim sanity and yet if you read their quality, the focus, the word selection and sequence, it contradicts this claim and insanity is exposed.
Self-deciet, contrasting with out usual experience with the real.
Simple statements of rejection…no counter-argument…no reasoning in opposition - declarative, dismissive, negating…offering to what is offered nothing…literally no-thing.
In all things a hierarchy from the lowest to the highest.
How could it be different for art, the expression of conspicuous qualities of mind?
All choices, all preferences show something about the one judging, choosing, and preferring…more than fashion, trends, and upbringing…exposing what lies beneath the covering of memes.
Elsewhere I claim that personality is determined by organ hierarchies, and character is determined by how these fluctuating hierarchies adapt to a fluid environment - genetics/memetics.
Body is a manifestation of the past - past made present, as presence, and interpreted as appearance. It cannot lie, it can only be concealed by the mind’s fabrications…excuses and justified…using words, symbols, gestures…the quintessential human art-form.
Many species have a talent for an art-form, but none with semiotics.
Back to Art vs, fArt…other than the use of art to pretend talent where none is present, let us proceed to primal vs. sophisticated art.
Primal = easy, beats, often complex beats, imitating biorhythms.
Sophisticated = melodies, often to a beat, imitating space/time rhythms…cosmic rhythms, using the biorhythms as the beat.
Subjective/Objective.
Is this too another example of intellectual contraption bullshit?
…let Meno note his reaction to particular works of art/fArt we are all likely to be familiar with.
Same with music. Let him link us to a piece of music he values and a piece of music he does not. Let him encompass more in depth, more specifically, the points he is making above in regard to actual works of art/fArt.
Or, sure, let us wait until Hell freezes over.
So, when it comes to posting obtuse intellectual contraption bullshit, has Meno finally met his match with Lyssa?
You tell me:
And, again, all I can do is to ask them to connect the dots between what may well be just intellectual gibberish and actual works of art/fArt.
See if that clears things up a bit.
Consider how this applies to philosophy, using the quintessential human art of semiotics…words/symbols.
Word-salads triggering emotional reactions attempt to stand beside well-crafted representations referring to reality.
The first attempts to impress, to create an impression, to manipulate vanity, to exploit human need/desire, the other only holds itself accountable to the world, and those who share it, acknowledge it, and can judge.
One refers and defers to proxies, icons, idols, speaking about the world, or texts that refer to nothing in the world…the other refers to the world, using icons, idols, in support.
See?!!!
This preening pedant cannot not spew out these pompous, pretentious, ponderous intellectual contraptions.
Really, it wouldn’t surprise me at all [with her] if there actually is genetic explanation here. She is afflicted with the philosophical equivalent of acromegaly. A pedantry gene that has all but taken over her brain.
She appears utterly incapable of posting anything that is not in the general vicinity of obtuse autodidactic gibberish.
It’s like what is of the utmost importance to her is not that she be understood but that she be admired by those who cannot understand her. She’s just too “deep” for them.
Yes, and from the surface it appears as such, to respond or react to seekers of validation through opinion. From the depth, where only those dare to submerge, a realm beyond personality, the deification remains that has mere vestiges of metaphor left to combat the appearent conflict; whereon the seekers are compelled to connect the one with the other on far wider senses , without diminishing or exalting the visible borne of the invisible, where a nihilized context was not understood to be a deconstructed contradiction of terms!
Reference and deference are the scope, the basis of the escholitological bubble that remains to resist the effort to bury any other affirmation to counter invalidative nihilism based on mere position of narrative , as cut off from the latency of further reaching dynamics towing under the upper layers of friar induced movement away from convention.
The presumed invisible which contradicts the visible, is nihilism.
It is an attempt to replace, usurp, transcend using language, what can only be transcended, if at all, with actions.
The use of language to exploit and manipulate the gullible and the desperate and the degenerate is, as I’ve noted, like abstract art created by those who have not proven their talent.
Charlatans have been selling snake oil and modern gurus - that are ancient in their craft - use superstition and semiotics to promise secret powers and unfathomable wealth to the spiritually impoverished.
Invisibility is not a presumption but a necessary political act. It is not based as a reaction to feeling, but sometimes based on covert action to avoid widening conflict. That propaganda is an example of how twisting minds can be programatically achieved, is merely a glean on an act of disconnection facts from fiction.
It is certainly true that nihilization can achieve this suggestively by an extended process of self deception, where the deception becomes validated anti humanistically inauthentic, and this certainly leads to trouble because the fear of discovery has to factor into the equation, but for the sake of an inauthentic topsoil, can the planting of vital nourishment be witheld?
The topsoil is never where vital roots regain their strength and bear fruit…
If politics is your motive, then continue to lie…
Philosophy is about truth, whether it hurts or leads to conflict.
You place something other than truth as your objective…in which case pretend, lie, use words to seduce, coerce and bribe…and have fun.
Nihilism collapses from the mass of tis own deceptions: see the US being held accountable for centuries of bullshyte
Without your feet no the ground, how the fuck will you dig into the depths…without terra firma where is the subterranean?
In you head?
i gave you my hierarchy:
Physis = middle, ground. Structure.
Metaphysis = underground - foundation
Ideal = atmosphere, above ground = towards the heavens, the sun.
All three must be in alignment.
Physis must connect ideology with metaphysics.
I use the surfer as my metaphor.
The depth lies beneath the ocean’s surface…not in your head.
if a truth would mean the beginning of an unforeseeable decay and unrest because of the gross historical deception of a democratic populace, then how can that in all honesty, that version if the truth be sistIained?
Even if, an Absolute, categorical truth be inferred or referred , in the mode of finding the best possible context within which such could be discovered and applied to?
Why?
The only thing left is go to a seer, or to the Oracle ar Delphi and get at Truth that way.
But really, back then the way things turned out, up to now, has been processed as one continuous set of many contextual incidences, in part to uncover some kind of hidden knowledge that maybe very few were aware of, and con-texted it with current consciously adopted day to day preoccupations.
