@millercarbon, as much as I admire your “Music is one of these physical manifestations of this primordial, impersonal self” turn of phrase, may I say that—as a card carrying Buddhist for decades—one of the fundamental tenets of Buddhism s that there is no such thing, now or ever, any self, certainly not primordial.
Please no flames. An observation made tongue in cheek. 😇
Regarding how I think about upgrading my system: I do it in a Buddhist way—how much temporary happiness will it bring, how long will it be, and is there something else that will bring me longer happiness? Since by definition in Buddhist thought no external thing or person can bring permanent happiness,
That’s enough for one day. My brain is hurting.
