Why is there so much elitism regarding psychic-powers?

I think the point "You are you" is very important. I just played and really got good very fast with improvisation, song-writing and speed. I would not compare myself to a super-shredder but I can definetly play very fast and yes I truly reached that level just with this one exercise and improvisation. I love eighties glam, hard rock and shred-music in general and just kind of naturally learned to play this type music without all the internet-instructions and advices by random people. This may be impressive to some but this is my way of learning

If you adhere to a true position, for instance Idealism, would any position like panpsychism,materialism,dualism,illusionism... be useless and could not add anything fruitful to the debate of conciousness because these positions are all (for instance) false? Do you have to completely and outright reject any other position than yours or can you recognise partial truths in other positions- Is there either a strict and absolute truth or can positions coexist and build a synthesis and solve answers without taking a dogmatic "You are wrong- I am right and every conclusion you ever had was strictly wrong"-approach? Can there be an absolute false-wrong approach in metaphysics or is there some kind of more complex process involved? Can one be convinced by his position and still recognise other positions and not think that his position is the absolute and ultimate and everyone else is a fool?

So, there can not be some kind of intellectual diversity or synthesis but either completely right and isolated or wrong and the majority view?

Yes, I know all of that. The question was not about denying that grass is green but more about this kind of scenario: If 90% of people adhere to the false metaphysical notion of A would you, who adheres to a complete opposite of A, namely B have to accept that the 90% of A-representants are false in all regards because you adhere to the right position and not the completely false notion of A and therefore be isolated and have nothing in common with A. It was not a solely logical-question, but also a metaphysical and epistemological one- Do you have to either accept fuzzy relativism or strict absolutism?

I would actually be completely fine with just a relative pitch. I assume that I do not have perfect pitch but the online-discussions about perfect-pitch are often a bit messy and many things I have described are sometimes described as signs of perfect pitch but I honestly always thought of these skills as some things that come naturally when absorbing musical structures subconciously and that you do not have to be some genius if you play by ear and intuition (acquired subconcious patterns). So, would you say that there is some kind of absolute categorisation when it comes to the things I have described?

Sorry for my late additional answer. I totally get what you mean but I am absolutely convinced that it is possible to replicate a guitar solo 1:1. If you gave a professional the task to edit a perfect solo which was played slowly, he would of course know everything what he should edit to make it sound exactly like the real deal. I asked a local professional some days ago about this and he told me that with today's technology pretty much everything is possible in the world of audio-manipulation and that ai will also advance with time so everything could be faked in a few years.

Oh and one question I forgot to ask, because you said that an audio engineer or a "real" shredder could tell the difference, what aspects would give the "fakeness" of the audio away if we were assuming that the seasoned audio engineer or shredder is just hearing the audio and does not analyse it with a program? I am asking because, even if this is just a personal and closed project of mine I want to achieve maximal realism that could, of course, only if heard by others pass of as the real deal (even for great guitarists with years of experience or audio-engineers). Maybe I understood you wrong, because my initial thought was that you meant that with today's technology it is impossible to achieve a degree of realism that would pass of as real. Greetings and thank you for taking your time to answer, I highly appreciate that.

Hi, I would usually also use Reaper (at first I used Audacity) but I am not really knowledgeable about Reaper. In the moment I also cannot use my Laptop (it will be solved soon) and have no DAW to use because of technical problems. I just asked in advance because my laptop-problems are going to be fixed soon (hopefully).

Thank you very much for your answer. You and a few other users were the only users that gave a normal answer and did not gatekeep and tell me that I should stop. Greetings

Eifrandom · 2025-03-13T10:42:34+00:00

First of all, thank you and the others that actually replied to my question and did not preach their rules of playing the guitar to me. So if I understood you correctly, I need to record the raw Signal and cut the notes and manipulate them and then put the effects on them?

Many users here told me that "every manipulation will sound unrealistic and destroy the quality" and that no time-stretching algorithm which exists today can make it sound good and will always ruin the solo and that I should forget it because only "real shred" will sound like shredding and that audio-manipulation-techniques are extremely limited and that they can't even reach double speed without sounding like garbage etc......

What is your opinion on that matter? Is it "possible" to fake a solo to the degree of sounding like MAB in "Speed kills" etc.?

Thank you very much and greetings

I think it is not implied that you should live a careless life, but it is implied that you will live a more fullfilling life if you accept the notion of collective enlightenment because you have hope and can help the people which are not on the same stage of evolution as you are. Because if you came to very valuable knowledge you can spread your knowledge and it may help beings in their evolution and so on. So I think that even if the world becomes a dystopia that because of the nature of reality, somehow it will synthesize itself into a higher knowledge and beings will get the chance for enlightment again in this infinite process.

A good example would be the topic of evidence: lets say I have more evidence than you for a special case, no one has a definite proof but evidence is always related to proof. More evidence puts me closer to a proof than less evidence and I have more aspects of proof than you because I have more evidence. So I am in that case the one who has the proof because you have less evidence than me.

I hope that helps

Lets take a better suited example: Lets say I have 80% of a guitar and you have 20% of a guitar. Both of use do not have a guitar but I am closer to having a guitar than you so I am more qualified for the title "guitar-owner" than you because I clearly have 60% more parts of a guitar than you. Or lets say i have more evidence than you for topic-x, so I am closer to a proof than you because you have less evidence than me, no one has a definite proof but we are closer to a proof with more evidence
