Things we cannot be bothered by anymore

This has to be one of the silliest things that has crept its way into audiophilia.

Just this weekend, a buddy of mine was hitting a sax with me backing him on keyboard in my listening room, 90db, 95db, piece of cake...

I bet you all won’t last 10 minutes of your great Miles Davis playing something in your room..all your purity is gonna get a rude awakening real quick when that trumpet hits a 100db.

Purity (facepalm)

- Listening at low volume levels to gauge audiophile purity

No land with very polarized ideologies has stayed as a unified land/entity for too long (in the history of humanity)..

Major powers constantly produce disinformation campaigns to weaken each other in that regard (divide & conquer). Relatively simple minded critters that form the majority of a population don't have much choice in the matter, except fall for it..requires more intuition and iq to look through it. 

Some cultures are more resilient, some are not.

Vote for throughtful and maybe even compassionate centrists/moderates willing to listen to more points of view.

If the US splits in the near future, it will probably be based on right wing or left wing ideology...not religion, race or ethnicity.

The US is not some one of a kind cultural melting pot. Melting pots have existed in different parts of the world for thousands of years (India, Africa, etc).

@deep_333 I agree. It’s hard to get diverse populations to get along much less see eye to eye. But that’s pretty much what this country is about and supposedly makes it great and a place diverse peoples want to live in...all that melting pot stuff. Maybe we are doomed to fail in the end, or maybe we truly are "great" and make it so. Nothing lasts forever. THat much is for sure.
