Objectivity in Music

<< < (17/18) > >>

Aphi:
Maslow was a bloody idiot.

Se7en:
What makes you say that? His ideas are the basis for all modern humanistic phycotherapy, which shows its got practical applications. Phychiatry is little more than applied philosophy anyway. Makes a lot more sense than all that crap that the psychodynamic lot spout. Freud can suck my plums.

DEAR MOICHE,
OH DEAR GOD, YOU JUST WON EVERYTHING.
LOVE,

--- Quote from: Sp2 ---I think, therefore I am. That doesn't necessitate the existence of you. Therefore, my thoughts and perceptions are the only absolute in the universe, so my opinions must necessarily be correct.

Well, no. I think, therefore thoughts exist. You have no grounds to group them into a unified 'self'. So you don't exist either.

--- Quote from: Moiche ---Sublime music from a Randian perspective would reject conformity, while championing the egoism and genius of the artist.  Bjork.  She would have loved Bjork.
--- End quote ---


Actually, I would think Rand would see Bjork as inaccessible music that is on a major label and that people overwhelmingly say is good because that's what people say about it.  So it's "deep." Like that novelist's work in the Fountainhead.  So wouldn't Rand have hated it?

mechorg:
Well, since Descartes' only deciding factor on the debate whether he existed or not was the fact there is a kind God that wouldn't let that happen and I am an athiest...
I believe none of you or I, myself exist.  It makes life much more fun that way.

While talking philosophy, I'd rather hold to my own beliefs that quote other theories that have been developed in the past.  You can be as booksmart as a Harvard grad and still have none of your own thoughts.  This is fun reading, though.  I miss these conversations in college. :)
