Well, as an Irishman, you aren't expected to understand the intricacies of science, any more than non-Irish are expected to understand the howling and warbling of those "poets" you keep in your pubs, drunkenly crying into their beer.  To every cat his own rat, sir.  You stay out of science, and I'll refrain from fucking sheep and blaming the local nobility.

I think you have "scientist" confused with "musicians".

Post by: Faust on April 20, 2010, 01:56:50 AM
On the contrary, in the physics department anyway its as if they found pink floyed and that was it, they never looked for anything else.
But the "musicians" and "scientists" do have a huge overlap with "college students " and that could skew the test group somewhat.

He is kind of amazing. He painted all of the Presidents with ham, and then he was not satisfied with that, so he is painting them ALL again. http://presidentialham.com/

(http://presidentialham.com/hams/42-bill-clinton.jpg)

He built a henhouse that looks like a tiny Victorian mansion. The first time I met him, he showed up in my kitchen in a UPS uniform with all exposed skin painted red. The entire first year I knew him he ONLY WORE BROWN CLOTHES. He is remarkably good-looking. If I had any fucking sense at all I would be in love with this guy. He is one of the two most brilliant people I have ever met, the other one being Cordelia the Enucleator.

He's got a girlfriend... she's also really awesome, she's a drug & alcohol recovery counselor. I don't think he's in love with her, which kind of breaks my heart a little because she's so great. But you can't make it happen.

What was the Pearl Jam track linked?

I love Pearl Jam. Hell I even liked no code.

Hell Eddie Vedder is like a personal god to me.

Do the Evolution. The music video (I'm sure you know) is a perfect masterpiece.

It is a pretty bad ass video, no doubt.

Ah, no. Symphony of Science is nice, but Do the Evolution speaks more about human self destruction than any I have ever seen.

Also, Poetry of Reality is one of the more uninteresting of Melodysheep's remixes.

Okay - bad counterpoint!  Let me try again.

This is not a good video to watch when depressed with humanity.

Or maybe it is.

I've spoken with folk who are convinced that we are heading straight into a future like that as portrayed in "1984".  Likewise a quick scan of the comments for the video show a common sentiment that there is a truth to this, in that it is our likely future:


Like - either they've been sucked in by the fiction, or they latch onto it because it is compatible with an existing reality tunnel.

But I see both pieces as nightmare visions most useful to be taken as warnings to guide our current actions.  As in, it'd be stupid to let something like that depress you, less stupid to get angry about it, and pretty awesome if it inspired you to take a stand next time you see something which makes you remember the warning.

I see it as descriptive, not predictive.

All of the imagery is taken from existing historical scenes so I would say predictive is a completely redundant term.
