Words of Wisdom - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_paralysis

 

Decide what to do and do it - try another thing - do it again - try another thing - do it again.

In the end you end up doing what you want to do - except for only one thing.

There is only one thing you HAVE to do - and that is when you stop doing anything.

The rest is up to you - so go and do it.

By the way:

 

Most of this evening, I have been considering the similarities between.....

 

aa.  Fifth Harmony's Work from Home

bb. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony

 

cc.  Yes, I realize that this is rather an unusual comparison....but.....for sure there are many similarities.

 

dd.  I am speaking about similarities such as motivic develoopment, rhythmic drive, and, especially Tension and Release, something that most guys love, as most on TV know.

 

ee.  Take Beethoven's 5th......for example....

 

And, NOBODY ever does it better than Herbert Von Karajan....

 

Karajan is the MASTER of all masters....

 

I have loved Karajan most of my life, probably for more than 60 years.

 

ee2.  Also, you got that VON.  But, in Beethoven, he had a VAN.....

 

ff.  And now, compare that to the other FIFTH......Fifth Harmony.....

 

You might think that Ludwig and Fifth Harmony might not have much in common.

But....NOT TRUE.

 

I could go on....

Concerning the fact that these two pieces of music have just so much in common.....

 

gg....For example, I might say that.....

 

Despite their vast differences, both Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and "Work from Home" are built upon the exact same principle: using a simple, unforgettable rhythmic motif as the fundamental DNA for the entire piece. They both leverage this central hook with obsessive repetition to generate a feeling of relentless, hypnotic drive that pulls the listener into a state of powerful forward momentum. Ultimately, each composition is a masterclass in musical economy, proving that a single, small idea can be forged into an epic and emotionally satisfying journey from tension to catharsis.

 

GG....  I am Very Big on catharsis....

 

You should be, too....

 

Von Karajan......

 

Probably the very greatest of them all......

Please believe me....because this is true.....

Fifth Harmony: annoying noise.

 

Gamma Globulin: ditto.

Speaking of RAGE.....

 

i am thinking about the Self-Destruction Hypothesis.

 

I am also thinking about the......GREAT FILTER......

 

It's one thing to rage against the natural brevity of an individual life, as fondue zoo eloquently put it. It's an entirely different and more frustrating rage to think our entire species might not even get its full shot, instead choosing to self-destruct with the very tools we created to prosper. That's the ultimate unforced error—the possibility that we become our own filter, wasting our one and only chance on a cosmic scale.

 

I do believe that the GREAT FILTER affects us all.....

 

Do you?????

 

 

 

Not only you who think about those things 😉

 

Oh, there have been a journey understanding fellow humans ideology and some who obviously lack of thinking and consequences for the way we exploit this planet. But, people just want to have fun the short period they are here, and that leads to ego and greed. As well deep inside out nature we are collectors where some wants more than they need, and we do have adventures explorers who use any tool to achieve their goals. It’s a complex specia where we do a lot of things we think are the good life, but really? 

 

What is a good sustainable life? That’s the question 

 

The Great Filter theory is a proposed solution to the Fermi paradox, which asks why, given the high probability of extraterrestrial life, we haven't detected any signs of it. The theory suggests that there is a significant obstacle, or filter, in the development of life that prevents most civilizations from reaching a stage where they can communicate or travel across interstellar distances

 

The Fermi Paradox refers to the contradiction between the high probability of extraterrestrial civilizations existing and the lack of any observable evidence of their existence or activity. Essentially, it asks, "If the universe is so vast and old, with billions of stars and potentially habitable planets, why haven't we detected any signs of alien life?

 

 

 

 

 

[spidermike007]

You're asking too much of people, the vast majority of the planet is utterly self-absorbed, and conservative politicians have made it fashionable to be both disinterested in, and to deny science. 

 

The universe is truly amazing, cosmology is fascinating, astronomy is mind-blowing, and my heart goes out to anybody who doesn't appreciate those fields of study. 

 

But the fact that they don't means less than zero to me. I barely give a rat's ass what other people think these days.

I care about it, but cannot add it....

Bunch of dumb asses who could not care a twit about anything of scientific significance.

 

Just so very Fing depressing....and....I am speaking truth to POWER now, folks....

 

Sure, I am being a bit facetious, also, of course....

 

But, really....

 

There is just so very much beauty in Science, and so few can appreciate it, that this makes me wish to just VOMIT.....

 

This is truly how I feel....because....

 

The advancement of science has been very hard-won over many centuries....

 

And yet,,,,,so many <deleted> just cast this aside without a thought.....

 

It's sort of like casting pearls before swine, only worse.

 

I am sure that, at least one of you, must understand me and know that I WEEP for the ignorance of Mankind.....

 

Also, I would like to post a vid which might truly capture my GREAT SORROW.....for the Webb Telescope....a scope that just too few idiots do not appreciate.....

 

The Webb is the culmination of so many decades of toil and trouble...and yet.....no one even cares.....

 

 

If this world should end in one BIG BANG....then...at least....

 

We would have done our best to see the deepest reaches of the universe, just a few seconds before the BIG BANG....

 

What a voice.

 

Not my preferred voice.....

Madonna did it better.....

 

 

 

Does nobody care about the STARS and the Galaxies?

 

Also, what about the basic chemistry of the Sun?

 

We learned that so many years ago, while at university, during our Astronomy 101 class in Philly.

Well, partly I understand. And to agree that we try everything to destroy the world as we know is easy.

To see the beauty and fast development in science would need efforts. However TikTok or Facebook taking the lead and conspiracies going round the world.

Try to see only the good things and leave the imbeciles behind or ignore them

Asean Now cares about what you care about as every one of your posts immediately are highlighted in "Popular In The Pub" and in "Topics" as opposed to the other 99.9% of the AN posters.  So why are you complaining? 

But you are correct.  I think you're a bit "over-the-top" and possibly clinically depressed.  You really do fret much too much. You remind me of Eore in Winnie The Pooh.

 

 

Eeore was genuinely likeable and loveable. Very different than Miss Busybody.

As usual with these posts, vast generalisations are made without thinking of the details.

 

"You're asking too much of people, the vast majority of the planet is utterly self-absorbed..."

 

What survey performed or what data are you using to come to this conslusion.

 

"...Conservative politicians have made it fashionable to be both disinterested in, and to deny science. "

 

What nonsense, science is still going on, science is developing at a fast pace as it always has, for example there is a new 18 month study on some medication which cleans the plaque out of a human brain thus halting Alzheimer's and may even prevent it.

 

Think of all of the vaccines developed which have save hundreds of millions of lives over the decades. 

 

It is religion which denies science. 

 

"The universe is truly amazing, cosmology is fascinating, astronomy is mind-blowing, and my heart goes out to anybody who doesn't appreciate those fields of study. "

 

How do you know how many people are not interested in such subjects.

 

I write my own iPhone apps which I sell for example, I am interested in many subjects and learn  new things on a daily basis, but I do not try and ram them down peoples throats. 

 

Another thing I do not do is in a social situation, in a pub or restaurant for example is expect other people to have my interests as they will have their own, I do not bore them with rambling on about my interests and expect them to have the same interests as me.

 

I think a lot of people do not have any social skills maybe due to Asperger's for example and do not know what to talk about in a social situation and so bore others with what they like and do not like.

 

TiKTok and ArseBook are not new in principle, they have just allowed the gossipers and village idiots of the past to unite, they will not affect any part of science as the village idiot did not in the past, science and the study of it will continue no matter what these TikTockers say to each other.

If you listen to the guy in full length debates, he does good, and he very rarely discuss matters outside his fields claiming he is the expert, and if he do discuss it is his personal opinion, and not as an scientist.
