  1. As you know, JS Bach worked tirelessly throughout his entire long life to glorify his god through his glorious music. As it turns out, We, the entire world, are the beneficiaries of his hard work, and of his genius. One could listen to JS Bach for a hundred years, and never tire. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a composer as great. There are many recordings and interpretations of JS Bach available, via torrent, etc., on the internet. For example, the WTC, Well-Tempered Clavier, Book One, and Book Two.... You can choose between various guys, according to your taste. It would be a tragedy to die and leave this glorious world without having listened to JS Bach, just because, when you get to heaven, there will be nothing up there half as good. JS Bach is often used to teach music theory in various unis, such as at Haverford. Anyway, here is a sampling of Book One.... UNFORTUNATELY: The world, the everyday person, is losing access to JS Bach, which is rarely played in the US. Maybe Bach is played on the radio more in Europe; I do not know. If you were to compare JS Bach to Newton, there is no comparison. Newton was a numbskull compared to JS Bach. Why? Because: If there were no Newtons, then there would have been a Leibniz, or somebody else, to invent Calculus. But, NOBODY could have created the music of Bach. You should feel lucky to be able to so easily download and listen to JS Bach's music. Don't waste this gift...maybe.
  2. Happy to hear this.
  3. "Overall warming of up to 5°C in this century projected for the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East" https://phys.org/news/2022-09-5c-century-eastern-mediterranean-middle.html
  4. There is NOTHING so grand as JS Bach on a Sunday. I have probably spent 20,000+ hours listening to JS Bach....since 1967. So far, so good. The Brandenburg Concertos, in my humble opinion, are for beginners. Then, you can branch out to organ and harpsichord, and then to solo cello. If you want to be uplifted, then JS Bach is for you. If you have your own chamber, then chamber music might be suitable. Hogwood is OK, maybe. Still, Midnight Cowboy and Old Yeller remain the most depressing and sad movies I have ever seen in my life. Both films should have been burned at Fahrenheit 451 degrees.
  5. HERE is TRUE beauty and happiness without being slaphappy: I hope you enjoy this. I have linked this just for you....on a Sunday....
  6. In truth, this Sunday morning, I would submit that there is no animal more depressed and depraved than the snake. "The Hebrew word נָחָשׁ (Nāḥāš) is used in the Hebrew Bible to identify the serpent that appears in Genesis 3:1, in the Garden of Eden. In the first book of the Torah, the serpent is portrayed as a deceptive creature or trickster,[1] who promotes as good what God had forbidden and shows particular cunning in its deception. " If only there were a cure for sad songs, then mankind would have very little music to listen to. What do you listen to?
  7. Electrochemical interactions inside your brain! are NOT a choice! Everybody knows this, even Chomsky, by now.
  8. You know? Probably, one of the saddest movie scenes I have ever watched, other than Old Yeller, is the ending of Midnight Cowboy. https://youtu.be/o_OZJcVAiXE YouTube does not allow embedding of the death scene from Old Yeller, most likely because it's too sad. But, at least, they allow the death scene from Midnight Cowboy.
  9. The fundamental problem with Human Life, as I see it, is that NOBODY is ever satisfied. We ALL live an existence of dissatisfaction, and die not fully satisfied, no matter what.
  10. Try to be satisfied with your God Given Blessings. Otherwise, you will live a life of bitterness, toil, troubles, and end up like Hamlet. One thing is FOR SURE.... None of us will EVER be satisfied.
  11. Personally, I prefer my teeth to have a natural color. I have no need for very white teeth, at this time. For some strange reason, many among us cannot accept who they are. It's like, we wish to be more than we are, or, otherwise, we cannot be happy. It's like we cannot accept not being forever young. Maybe this is why so many are so unhappy. Because, no one can be forever young. And, no one can have perfect teeth, for long, especially when they are long in the tooth. We now live in a Mad World, inhabited by people trying to attain the unattainable. Nobody is satisfied. Nobody is grateful for being alive. Everybody ALWAYS wants MORE. Until....they are close to losing their lives. Then...They always sing a different tune. Humans are such stupid animals... As we all know....
  12. Just an innocent question: How would you even know if you were alive? If you were following FaceBook life, then, how would you know if you were actually living your life? Because, you might just be living a FaceBook life, and not a life that you might have chosen, without FaceBook. How happy do you appear to be on FaceBook? Is your true happiness nothing but the INVERSE of the happiness you post on FaceBook? I know it is. And, you know it is. White teeth can get you only...so far..... All is an illusion.
  13. Brownian Motion is what you often see in Pattaya. Brownian Motion is what you pay for. How could you not know?
  14. By the way... Have you guys ever seen Brownian Motion up close, and personal, in a cloud chamber? Because, if you had, you would never doubt what you can't see, ever, again.
  15. Therefore, perhaps.... Maybe, ...we actually ARE alone in this universe.... Despite the odds. Maybe Kubrick is the greatest director in the universe, for example. And, Dostoevsky, the greatest writer, too. No AI has shown its face from other worlds, thus far, As far as we know. Except, maybe Musk.
  16. You know.... If there were REALLY such a thing as artificial intelligence, then... We would have seen it by now. AI would have, long ago, reached us from OTHER WORLDS. But, it has not, and it will not. F__K the Drake Equation. He (MUSK) forgot this important point. Or, not....
  17. TRUST in GPT3, please....! Mark My Words.....My Friends. Even Five Years from Today....by 2028... GPT3 will be able to write FAR better topics for you, then you or I could ever have imagined, or would wish to imagine. Listen, My Friends.... A NEW DAY IS DAWNING.... A new day. In the very near future, GPT3 will be able to write a topic which can take you from SNAKES to FRAMPTON, within just a few moves. DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO? Snakes to Frampton? Someday....GPT3 will be able to do this. And then, our commenting days will be over. Dig?
  18. Have you ever been to Mexico? I mean, have you ever BEEN to México?
  19. Not the Black Mamba:
  20. 50 years ago, in Taiwan, when nobody cared about being PC, one could go to see snake shows. There were comely girls to be had, too, a dime a dozen. After almost 70 years, Formosa has almost stamped out this kind of baser entertainment.
  21. These dogs are not real Formosan Mountain Dogs... Still, they love to play with snakes. "ZOU KAI!"
  22. Here is such a very sad story of an unequipped Taiwan dog trying to save students from a cobra in Taiwan. So sadly, this dog was just a lousy mutt, and not a REAL Formosan Mountain Dog. If this mutt had been a Formosan Mountain Dog, then.... No Problemo! There are really so many cobras in Taiwan, and far too few, if any, REAL Formosan Mountain Dogs. So sad. So solly.
  23. Very unfortunately, this particular breed of dog has had its lineage much diluted during recent years. Such a shame, really. You probably cannot even find one, these days.
