Transylvanian Hunger does have a good production...not only does it fit the music in question, there's a bit of a difference between low fi and "shitty quality"..perfect example = Nattens Madrigal.
I like Ikea, never had that problem, and I've put together LOTS of their products. I can see it happening though, they are hardly the highest quality all the time, but the price rules.
tru datBecause we all know how becoming popular does so much for music.
If this is what you wanted, then you shouldn't have opened with "Oh no, you're subjected to Christian morality! Must be brutal having to follow the ten commandments
and turn away the odd Jehovah's Witness at your door" last time.
This bares no relevance as to whether or not Christians are capable of being annoying.
Are you attempting to imply that the only thing that you're permitted to be annoyed by is that which is oppressive? Nobody likes zealotry and being preached to
involuntarily. If you are incapable of understanding at this point in time how some people may find religious people annoying and sometimes even feel a degree of hatred toward them,
then this isn't even a discussion worth having. I never implied that living in the US is akin to living in Saudi Arabia, but that disqualifies nothing that there is a greater evil.
All of my anger was (perhaps intentionally) evoked by your blatantly misunderstanding a very basic and simple explanation. It's not like "I seek finality" is the only thing I said. I also said "I have no desire to live an immortal life, in whatever form. I'm not in a rush, but I would still like there to be an end. When I die, I would like to think that consciousness as I'd perceived it as the complex organism that I was no longer exists." Which makes what I had intended to get
across utterly unambiguous.
And? Emotional and intuitive intelligence are intertwined with the rational mind. Reason takes priority over all things, generally.
So as long as there's no empirical evidence to support the existence of something, it's no longer an empirical matter? Should we also emotionally invest ourselves
in the belief of the existence of a flying pink dildo navigating the globe, donning a cape and bringing joy and happiness to random people at all hours of the day?
There is no empirical evidence to support the existence of god, so there is no sound basis upon which to hold such a belief. Is this clearly enough understood?
What else is there? 'Kind of?' Does god kind of exist, Ink_Wirey? Just because we can't answer the question doesn't mean it's not a yes or no question. Does a bear shit
in the woods? Kind of.
I don't care about Buddha.
Intuition and deduction not entirely independent of thinking and education and an accumulation of foreknowledge based on sound reasoning and justification, as you seem
to imply. That intuition has played a role in scientific discoveries is both obvious and, as far as I can discern, irrelevant to whatever the hell it is you're trying
to say. It's just that what you are trying to imply under the basis of the validity of intuitive knowledge goes beyond what is acceptable.
Have you seriously not read The Republic? In that, Socrates distinguishes the soul into three parts; depending on your translation, the reasoning, the emotional
or spirited, and the appetitive. He says that the spirited and appetitive parts are subordinate to the reasoning part of the soul. He also bans poetry from his ideal
city because it appeals to the emotions and subverts the reason. I brought up Socrates simply to point out that the principle that the reason is predominant in mental
faculties has existed as long as modern philosophy has. In other words, you are completely wrong.
Oh, by the way, there's a bit of egg on your face.
