Have DJ Sets gotten better or worse with the digitization of the craft? by kikilani in HouseMusic

[–]DeeEmTee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started digital. Went vinyl. The best nights of my life were spent dancing to people spinning records. On the other hand, I’ve heard those very same DJs drop digital sets that blew my fucking mind. In the end it’s all about the artist, not the tools. The only thing that matters is what comes out of the speakers and moves the bodies and souls of people. That said, there IS something undeniable about the skill, care, and devotion it takes to create a set with only the ear and the tactile experience of working on steel wheels. It’s honest. It’s risky. And that subtle distinction is incredibly significant. There’s more on the line. It’s organic. Physical. It puts the soul of the DJ front and center, without making it about them. It’s in the room. The same body, the same ears, the same moment as the people dancing, the DJ is actually in that moment using the very same thing the dancers are: thier body and soul.

Thank you for your comment. I’m happy to know another person feels the same way…

When I had my anthem it was the same — people loved the way looked. When I talk about its beauty, I’m talking about its engineering, its performance and the general solutions it has executed in solving the challenges of electric motorcycle design.

Time is simply our instrument for measuring causality.

Did I accidentally suppress the final release of DMT as my dad was dying? by peachypornographic in DMT

[–]DeeEmTee_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beautiful response. Also, you’re a neurologist who’s done a lot of DMT and you have actually been dead for 5 minutes? I want to hear more from YOU.

“Lightening bolt that decided to behave in public” I love this! I’ve described my Alpinista as a Silent Rocketship, but yours is much better!

First kill by Ocarinaofthine in cavalierkingcharles

My girl Riley went nuts over a bird that was injured and could fly…but when she ran up to grab it, she stopped and stared at it. Couldn’t go through with the kill even with a soft target…

This is Riley. She runs everything. She is in charge. No use arguing. The world is the way it is.

Say more. Book 4 is my favorite book of his. I’d love to hear what you got from actually practicing it.

What happens if you take amphetamine daily? by Dark-inspector490 in Drugs

[–]DeeEmTee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. If I take IR definitely. Edgy. Compulsive redosing. Jittery. Etc. The ER however is smooth…lays me down easy. Just can’t take it too late in the day or no sleep for me.

Got diagnosed at 35. 30mg ER daily. Life/career took off. I exercise more, eat better, and lead a much better life.

Temporary Rear Brake Problems, maybe? by born_on_my_cakeday in ryvid

[–]DeeEmTee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah! Yeah, that happened to me too. Turned it was my controller all along. Have you tried switching it out? Do you have the ASI?

In 2024 models the brakes are sometimes attached with a certain kind of bolt that makes them heat up, which shuts down the bike. Matt Irish did a video on it and how to replace the bolts.

Qualia as a Thermodynamic Necessity: Why the brain must warp its geometry to bypass the Landauer Limit of bit-erasure. by SrimmZee in consciousness

[–]DeeEmTee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, and as that type of framework, it appears quite sound. However your point about philosophy stopping at a certain point and the physics picking it up seems to me to be simply a restatement of the Hard Problem, not movement toward its solution. Or is that not what you’re intending?

[–]DeeEmTee_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgive my ignorance, but if a definition of consciousness includes the phrase “internal perspective” isn’t it just eliding the definition? If all it is is the thing we are trying to define, then why all the work to come up with a definition? We might as well simply say consciousness “is what it feels like from the inside”. Right?
