JJ's Confessions - downloaded but have no idea if and when I will manage to read them.

He was a rockstar of philosophy: brilliant, mesmerizing, physically beautiful, sexually active, and vain. — Olivier5

Well, how could anyone resist...
Funny how the mind works.
I thought about Mozart's 'Don Giovanni' and Goethe's 'Faust'.

Leporello's 'Catalogue Aria' -

Leporello, Don Giovanni’s servant, is proudly exclaiming his master’s catalogue of women in order to dissuade Donna Elvira (a victim of these conquests) from pursuing after this womanizer. The aria has two main thematic sections: the first states the (ridiculous) number of women that Don Giovanni has conquered in various countries, and the second thoroughly describes the many women on this list both in personality and physical aspect. — Sarah Ma

However, serious work has been done by others, comparing Don Giovanni and Faust.

Gary Larson - The Far Side - Cows — synthesis

Hah. Funnily enough a recent walk took me along a path which divided 2 fields of cows and I was paying attention. They were close up to the fence and I felt wary.
I looked into their sad brown eyes and felt pity for them. I felt under close scrutiny too.
I slowed down my pace and talked to them, ''Hello cows, nice cows...''.
And then I listened to some of their voices. The tone of the moos.
Hmmm. Gentle, low moos for the most part but then from the back came a most disgruntled and loud one. A bit like someone frustrated at the end of a long queue. A deeper voice answered from the field opposite - hmmm.
Unfortunately, I couldn't stay to watch the next episode. We never really know the life of a cow...

Farmers might have a clue and the language of cows has been the subject of research:

How do you moo?’ – language of cows cracked by scientists

...They reckon moos are deep and more sonorous when cattle are talking about happy things, such as their food; where as when they are complaining about the weather, their noises are lower pitched.
“We found that cattle vocal individuality is relatively stable across different emotionally loaded farming contexts,” says Alexandra Green, the study’s lead author.
The team think their findings could help farmers improve herd welfare by understanding each cow’s mood through translation of their individual moos.

It’s an interesting idea, but we think these researchers might be milking it a bit. — Oliver Hill

So he was excessive in his pamphlet but maybe that's what it took to make an impact. — Olivier5

Yes. It seems that some kind of extreme action is the only way people wake up and pay attention.
Even then...it can take a while before any real change happens...
Can't recall the impact of JJ's philosophy in other aspects of living.
Help ?
If my head didn't hurt so much I would look for myself but it sounds like you know a bit about JJ ?

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a composer, with some modest success — Olivier5

Well, I had no idea of this extra talent of Rousseau whose philosophy of human nature I read and failed to appreciate quite some time ago. I didn't take to him. Might change my mind. From wiki on Rousseau.

I had brought with me from Paris the prejudice of that city against Italian music; but I had also received from nature a sensibility and niceness of distinction which prejudice cannot withstand. I soon contracted that passion for Italian music with which it inspires all those who are capable of feeling its excellence. In listening to barcaroles, I found I had not yet known what singing was...

— Confessions[19] — wiki

The effect of the quarrel was to open French opera to outside influences that triggered a renewal in the form. In particular, the Comédie-Italienne and Théâtre de la foire developed a new type of opera that combined Italian natural simplicity with the harmonic richness of French tragédie en musique. — Wiki Querelle des Bouffons

So, Rousseau did well if his quarrel helped people see or listen in a new way, n'est pas ? :cool:

It does sound like a mishmash of Italian and French influences, not terribly original. — Olivier5

I only listened to the first few minutes - and it sounded so familiar, like a rip-off :meh:

that there is neither measure nor melody in French music, because the language is not capable of them; that French singing is only continual barking, unbearable to all unprejudiced ears; that its harmony is brutal, without expression and feeling uniquely like schoolboys' padding;

Mon Dieu. 'Schoolboys' padding' :scream:
Time to revisit 'Deshabillez-moi' by Juliette Greco.

self-negating. — Banno

[ :smile: Yes, I know what you mean in that context, but looking further...]

'Self negation' sounds painful :scream:
But interesting...and hmmm... potentially harmful ? ( see my underline )
https://selfnegation.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/on-the-meaning-of-self-negation/

Self negation simply means doing away with those categories that limit ourselves and others from our full potential, that hinder us more than they assist our understanding.

Self negation cannot be an individual act. White people cannot escape from ‘whiteness’ by simply acting in a way they perceive as being contrary to this identity. Rather, they must work to alter the relationship between themselves and non-whites; and this necessarily means fundamentally altering the society we live in.

....Let us work to negate the present society and with it those aspects of ourselves poisoned by it.

How can you 'negate' the present society ? Extremism ?

It is possible to reject most isms. — Cuthbert

Of course. But an -ism has to exist before it can be rejected. There is no avoiding -isms, is there ?
As per:

"ism" is just a bit of language, a suffix, which people associate with dogma. But really, from fascism or pacifism, it's a diverse world despite those three letters. — Tom Storm

From whence we get the notion of acrimonious schisms between the isms. — Tom Storm

Love it :100:

The notion together with emotion and motion...

Imagine for a moment that you reject any and all Isms — TheMadFool

OK. Imagined and failed. It just isn't possible.
-Isms are a part of our life. Lists of them abound. Even if you just look at the -isms in discrimination.

What happens if we now say no to Nihilism too? — TheMadFool

I was gonna say 'Escapism' - but there ya go...you just can't get away...and perhaps it is a good thing that we can't avoid -isms.
Without an -ism, how would we acknowledge, describe, analyse or act on e.g. racism, ageism.
Important to name and deal with real consequences - the actual practice of specific human behaviours.
There is no escaping this...no matter what -ism, rightly or wrongly we use...

Definition and examples of -isms:
https://ismbook.com/ism-list/

Here’s a short list of some common isms that we see in society every day.

political isms
cultural isms
social justice isms
systemic isms
philosophical isms

These main categories are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to philosophy words ending in ism, and by no means are these all the isms in the world.

An -ism:
a distinctive doctrine, cause, theory or religion
manner of action or behavior characteristic of a (specified) person or thing
prejudice or discrimination on the basis of a (specified) attritube
adherence to a system or a class of principles

There follows a list of philosophy words ending in -ism.

'A Short Cartoon about Time' - David Firth (3.21)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idCFV0KF4uo

Would you sell your Golden Years ?
Would you give your Time away ?
The gift of time...

So then when we think of time, The typical understanding of it is primarily Psychic and unconscious. It is popular to describe time as a concept but it seems to me that when I hear that statement from the regular crowd, they do not portray signs of contemplation of what they mean by that. — unintelligiblekai

I think most people understand time in different ways at different times. Mostly, I think, consciously in practical terms. A time to sleep, a time to dream, time to eat and so on.
Some rely entirely on watches as to when any activity is undertaken. Midday lunch. Others rely on their feelings - rightly or wrongly assuming they are 'hungry' and need food when it might be thirst and the need is for water.

Time to contemplate on time. Not everyone has time for this - in either quantitative or qualitative terms.

Is time merely a concept or the interpreted signals of what the world may be like to the senses? and by the world I mean experiences of physics in motion. — unintelligiblekai

Time is not merely a concept to be discussed at length by philosophers or represented in the arts.
Time is something we experience as passing. Is that the same as your interpreting signals of experiencing 'physics in motion' ?
We talk about 'time management'...how best to make use of time.

You already understand what time is. Does that make it "beyond a concept"? Depends what a concept is. If a concept must be definable in words, then perhaps. — Banno

I think our common understanding and use of 'time' is different from, if not beyond, any philosophical concept and discussion of. The study of what a concept is - well, is it worth the time ?
I guess so, for some.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept

Recently, I've been looking outwith texts for inspiration - in music or art.
Looking at paths not usually taken...by me, at least...
For example:

https://www.dalipaintings.com/

The Persistence of Memory contains a self-portrait over which is draped a 'soft watch'. For Dali, these 'soft watches' represent what he called the 'camembert of time', suggesting that the concept of time had lost all meaning in the unconscious world. The ants crawling over the pocket watch suggest decoy, an absurd notion given that the watch is metallic. These 'paranoid-critical' images reflect Dali's reading and absorption of Freud's theories of the unconscious and its access to the latent desires and paranoia of the human mind, such as the unconscious fear of death alluded to in this painting...

...The watches, which he says are:"nothing more than the soft, extravagant, solitary, paranoiac-critical Camembert cheese of space and time... Hard or soft, what difference does it make! As long as they tell time accurately.
The Persistence of Memory alludes to the influence of scientific advances during Dali's lifetime. The stark yet dreamlike scenery reflects a Freudian emphasis on the dream landscape while the melted watches may refer to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, in which the scientist references the distortion of space and time.

...The pocket watches are not the only references to time in the painting. The sand refers the sands of time and sand in the hourglass. The ants have hourglass-shaped bodies. The shadow that looms over the scene suggests the passing of the sun overhead, and the distant ocean may suggest timelessness or eternity.

...Three of the clocks in the painting may symbolize the past, present and future, which are all subjective and open to interpretation, while the fourth clock, which lies face-down and undistorted, may symbolize objective time.
...The denuded, broken branch in the painting, which art experts identify as an olive tree in the context of other Dali artworks, represents the demise of ancient wisdom as well as the death of peace, reflecting the political climate between the two World Wars as well as the unrest leading to the Spanish Civil War in Dali's native country.

Yes. Back in the day, the only choice was to buy quite expensive vinyl records, cassettes or CDs.
I don't shuffle music on my phone or computer. However, just look at what is freely available.
Complete albums on YouTube for goodness sake :yikes:
That raises other questions...financial implications for artists...

At a certain point in life - you need to get rid of 'stuff'. Possibly to make room for more.
In my case, I have been decluttering for years !
Really difficult to move things on. Especially when you inherit parents' collections, and memories.
I still have a small collection of CDs but...wonder why...cos I hardly ever listen to them...

Another R.E.M. song. From Guardian article above:

...It sounds as if he was just scared. “I’m a very fearful person. Truthfully, a lot of what this book is about is the people who represent fearlessness to me.”

When it comes to fearlessness, Stipe has always taken a lot of strength from his friendship with Patti Smith, whom he admired when he was young and is still delighted to be friends with. He shows me a mask of William Blake with writing scrawled over it; a gift from Smith. “She’s the one who said to me, ‘At some point, you need to walk unafraid’,” he says. “And I turned that phrase into a song about exactly that (REM’s Walk Unafraid). But that fierce fearlessness is something that I still look to. To show me the way, to pull me away from the parts of myself that allow me to be absorbed into fear. And to run towards the thing that scares you the most. As a creative person, that’s maybe a superpower.” — Guardian article

'Walk Unafraid' - R.E.M. (with lyrics)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-qENGh33F4

This morning, reading the article about Michael Stipe: 'The male idea of power is so dumb' in the Guardian -

He was in the one of the most influential indie bands ever, but the songwriter prefers life as a visual artist. He talks presidents, parties and photographing his heroes

I clicked on a link in this paragraph:

...in August 2019. Giorno, who was once Andy Warhol’s lover, and appeared in REM’s last music video (for We All Go Back To Where We Belong), died while Stipe was in Europe. His death changed the nature of Stipe’s photography project. “I had the rolls of film in my bag and the moment he died, I thought, I need to include John,” he says. So he expanded the book’s concept to include people other than women – “to de-gender the project”, as he puts it. All the people he wanted to feature “are, for me, insanely heroic. The work that they’ve done, their activism, their art.” — Interview by Miranda Sawyer

and got this:
'We All Go Back To Where We Belong' - R.E.M.

I dreamed what what you were offering
Imagine lying next to me
You should, and your reputation talks
I will write our story in my mind
Write about our dreams and triumphs
This might be my innocence lost

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
I dreamed that we were elephants
Water, sun, and clouds of dust
And woke up thinking we were free
I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong

Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you want?

I can taste the ocean on your skin
That is where it all begins
We all go back to where we belong
We all go back to where we belong

Is this really what you want?

I love listening to the stories behind the choices made. Not so keen on just seeing 'lists' of songs or books read. Although they can reveal something about the chooser...probably why I was initially wary of sharing...standing alone, they don't tell the full story. Nothing ever does...but a glimpse and a gleaning.

I have started wondering just how much our brain or behaviour patterns are formed by what we listen to when very young. The religious music, the Christmas carols...the pop and rock...the jangly bits that drive us...the soothing tones that calm us.
Music through the ages for all ages...teens, twenties...30s,40s,50s,60s,70s...2020s, the ancient.

'Turn, Turn, Turn' - the Byrds (1965)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ga_M5Zdn4

"Turn! Turn! Turn!", or "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)", is a song written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s and first recorded in 1959. The lyrics – except for the title, which is repeated throughout the song, and the final two lines – consist of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. The song was originally released in 1962 as "To Everything There Is a Season" on folk group the Limeliters' album Folk Matinee, and then some months later on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet.[1] — wiki

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Controversy ensued when the group admitted they had not played on the record, but that all the work was done by session musicians, although such a practice had long since been common.[2] 

Their first recording of the song, produced by Muff Winwood, had featured them playing all the instruments.[3] But the record label rejected this version in favour of one produced by Mike Smith, recorded with a recording studio rhythm section, strings, brass, flutes and backing vocalists, arranged by Keith Mansfield[3] – and Ellis as the only member of the group to be heard.[4] 

The backing vocals were provided by four female singers who became well known in their own right: Kiki Dee, Madeline Bell, Lesley Duncan and Kay Garner (as one of the Ladybirds). The bass part was played by Russ Stableford and Clem Cattini played drums.

'Love Is In The Air' - John Paul Young (1978)

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NNC0kIzM1Fo

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

Love is in the air
In the whisper of the trees
Love is in the air
In the thunder of the sea

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)
Love is in the air
Love is in the air
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Love is in the air
In the rising of the sun
Love is in the air
When the day is nearly done

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound
And I don't know if I'm being foolish
Don't know if I'm being wise

But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when I look in your eyes

'Break Away' - the Beach Boys (1969)

Break break shake away, break breakaway
Now I'm free to do what I want to do

Time will not wait for me, time is my destiny
Why change the part of me that has to be free
The love that passed me by, I found no reason why

But now each day is filled with the love, that very same love
That passed me by and that is why
I can breakaway from that lonely life
And I can do what I want to do
And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new

When I laid down on my bed I heard voices in my head
Telling me now hey it's only a dream
The more I thought of it I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)…

Watch the whole experience of placing on turntable, cleaning the vinyl, careful placement of the stylus, turning the LP round at half time...and listening to the simple sounds and scratchiness of the 60's.

Steven Beeber, the vinyl aficionado and author of The Heebie-Jeebies at CBGB's: A Secret History of Jewish Punk, summed up the appeal of records this way: "As with so many things, the Luddites were right. The old ways were better. Vinyl has a richness and depth that digital media lacks, a warmth, if you will. And hell, even if it didn't, it sure looks cool spinning on the table, and you've got to treat it with kindness to make it play right, so it's more human too. As in our love lives, if you want to feel the warmth, you've got to show you care." — STEVEN BRYKMAN
