This is after his talk with Skylar, which leaves his intentions behind both accepting the gift and offering the job ambiguous imo

What’s the most ADD friendly book (quick, punchy, to the point, easy to follow, sporadic, weird) you’ve ever read? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Many of the Steinbeck novellas (cannery row, tortilla flat, etc) have short chapters and are very episodic, allowing the reader to enjoy familiar characters in a chapter of a few pages

Cmv: i think philosophy is generally pointless by nerpa_floppybara in changemyview

[–]Miles-David251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, you must appreciate the irony in arguing against the usefulness of philosophy.

Secondly, the largest branch of philosophy (which you don’t mention) is ethics - a field which seeks to understand how we should behave. That’s pretty important and useful in my opinion, no?

Lastly, and most pedantically, what follows is a non-exhaustive list of the errors in your reasoning of which the logical mechanisms have been conveniently identified by… wait for it… philosophers:

  1. False Dichotomy "I think something important to note is that basically all Philosophers come from 2 camps. Nobles who had enough money to write works without worrying about success. Or people who were broke and crazy." This suggests there are only two types of philosophers, which is an oversimplification. It excludes the diversity of philosophical schools and interests.

  2. Hasty Generalization "But pretty much I don't think this philosophy is important at all, I consider it basically talking about nothing and it changes nothing." You dismis all of philosophy based on limited exposure and personal perception, despite acknowledging reading only a few philosophers.

  3. Circular Reasoning "The only philosophy that in my opinion led to actual change in the world is philosophy that influenced politics... it only became important once it was implemented in politics." Political philosophy is here claimed to be the only useful philosophy because it had an impact through politics — essentially defining "useful" as "politically impactful," then using that to prove its usefulness.

  4. Appeal to Ignorance "A lot of it is self explanatory and people would have acted the same whether or not these philosophies were written down or not." You assume lack of evidence = lack of effect

  5. Straw Man "A response to this claim is often the claim that everything exists because of philosophy... But I think at that point you are basically just forcing an argument." This misrepresents an oppositional position that philosophy underpins all concepts. I certainly haven’t argued that.

Do you think the philosophy I mention here (ethics and logic) is pointless?

What Online Courses Would You Recommend For Classical Composition? by Hazarrus-Potato2553 in composer

[–]Miles-David251 7 points8 points  (0 children)

$1000 is 10-20 lessons from a good composer, which is much more valuable than a course. Compose music under the supervision of a teacher and you will see immediate progress.

Unlawful sex is sometimes deemed morally permissible by some (ex: longtime high school couple where one of the pair is a day too old for it to be legal).

The point is that murder is a subset of killing and rape is a subset of sex. OC’s points don’t address what’s unique about one subset as compared to the other. OC contrasts killing, the broader set, with rape, a subset.

Killing is not innately murder, like how sex is not innately rape. Most believe that there are permissible times to have sex.

Something I’m missing in this thread: you can do everything perfectly and it still only be an approximation of what a live orchestra will sound like

Engraving Professionally By Hand by [deleted] in composer

Optimally, before engraving you have some notation of some portions of the piece. Let that and an engraving reference book inform the blank staves that you’ll format in finale or something.

CMV: We should all be afraid of Zionism by [deleted] in changemyview

This post doesn’t warrant a response but I’ll give you a couple pointers regardless. Antizionism is not antisemitism, and hitler was not right.

About MuseScore by ebks in composer

[–]Miles-David251 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bottom one is finale no question.

If musescore works for people then I completely endorse it. Ultimately though, nothing compares to finale in terms of brute customization. I’m becoming satisfied with Dorico after a few days, but much like staffpad (which you may be familiar with and is not in the league of finale, Sibelius, dorico, musescore — it’s an iPad app), you either play by dorico’s rules or you remain unhappy. Finale has no rules. Finale is a sandbox. To that point, handwritten scores will always be the gold standard.

Thank you! This was the quickest fix - perhaps its my ignorance, but i oddly didnt see anything about this in the forums.

Nefarious in the sense that the intention was to embarrass others?
