Sean, comparatively your "people skills" are just fine. |
6chac, once again I am at a loss, when it comes to your questions. Do you always answer questions with questions? Happy holiday to you too. |
Sean and especially Tok20000 are right on! Danner, less than one song? Considering the options that are available with the TacT, its hard to take your opinion seriously. |
Sean, I offer the following as a question to accompany your postion, which I've already opined to agree with. As most solid state gear increases power output as impedance levels decrease, then ergo the oposite is true, and most solid state gear would decrease power output as impedance levels increase. That said, wouldn't that mean that solid state gear has it's own challanges when confronted with varying impedances loads, e.g., amplitutde abberations? |
Asa, you did it again. RE: your 04-14-03 post, well said, I completely agree. Just after I resolved that you and I would have to agree to disagree, you offer two posts that suggest that we agree on more and disagree on less. |
Asa, I ask this only philosophicaly. Why not just kill yourself now? Is it the death or the dying you seek? Are you seeking or escaping? If life is only vanity, why bother? I see this life as an ever moving journey and science as my vehicle. My being in the being. The silence, if its truly exists, may be inevitable. Its more likely to find me than the other way around. 6chac, I must be the "barnyard animal" because your metaphors continue to escape me, I suppose you attribute that to the din of me mascicating my materialism. |
Shubertmaniac, well said. I think it is important to try to maintain an appropriate balance between the scientific, the anectodal, and that emotional response with which we clumsily and perhaps inadequately try to ART(?)iculate, both expressively and receptively. |
Asa, here we go again. At the risk of appearing petty, and not to risk the of continuance of important scientific research. Sound is most certainly a "thing". A quantifiable thing. That sound can have an effect on us that is yet to be accurately or reliably quantifiable is also true. |
Sound is the reaction of matter to energy, ergo sound is a state of matter. This can be taken to an organic level, where sound is the reaction of energy on the grey matter most of us carry around. With in us and with out us, sound is a thing. As to how I percieve sound/music. It all depends. If I'm startled by it, I may first react by trying to localize it, if I predetermine to let go of my guard, I may let it enter into another state of being. 6chac, a thing is not a thing untill it's recognized. Thank you for the two early birthday presents. You really shouldn't have. |
Ok, I'll carry the dualism tag you so often like to pin. If sound is not a thing then it's (no)thing. Then this entire forum is much to do about nothing. |
Asa, your perception was right on. I was fatigued and tired during my last post. As to how smart I am, thank you, but, I do realize that I am uneducated and ignorant. Science by the very need of its continuing existance is ignorant. That does not trap science into seperating/ignoring the mind from matter. That the mind is (at least in part) the product of enviornmental stimulous that produces an electro/chemical energy response within the matter that is the brain, "A state of matter". As such even an erroeneous concept is a state of matter, and a thing. I suspect what/how the mind is/works will probably be better understood in the next 50 years or so. For better or worse after that, the enviornmental stimulous up to and including cultural bias upon a genetic predispostion will be better understood and on some level may even be predicted. Art may be subject to a new paradigm. |
6chac, backward, forward, cyclic, its all a matter of perspective. Things in motion tend to stay in motion. With in us and with out us. Where does begin? Where does it end? Can we truly seperate? Or is seperation just a convient concept? BTW, whats up with all the computer graffiti? Asa, I actually agree with your point of our differing points of view. Furthermore, I agree with your critisim of my point of view. But I see my point of view as a journey not as an end. Perhaps I'm wrong, but your point of view seems to aim for an end. Is an end a possbility or is it just the extension of the journey? |
6chac, I don't understand. What is it thats looking? |
Sean, thanks. Sometimes I can be such knucklehead. |
