    (c) Arthur Schopenhauer. Isn't the discussion about economics though?

    "Economics really just feels like a game of tag but for adults". Still works!

    Capitalism is only "evil" in the sense that it's the enemy of humanity.  But that alone doesn't make it evil.  The reason why is because Capital is so powerful that it has risen above morality and even found a way to disguise its devastation to the worker-consumer (desiring-machine).  Morality today is one of the most deterritorialized, flexible tools that Capital uses in order to build itself from our elapsed labor-value, and eventually even this purpose will deteriorate (once capitalism qua capitalism — Capital in its purest, asignifying manifestation — has actualized itself).

    Merci monsieur, see lads: capitalism is not evil because it found a way to disguise its devastation to the desiring machines like us. The enemy of humanité? Not a big deal. Anyway, it's so powerful it doesn't care about your twitter threads.

    damn this is a good track. might be the best of these two albums?

    A solid case for that (probably top three in my book), but I regard M4 Lema as such

    drums sounds like Casio RZ-1, but could be wrong due heavy processing... ODX isn't that gritty imho

    I recall Sean Anthony attributing that track to DMX drum machine hacked (not his exact word) in some way. Can't find the exact quote.

    What's the story behind the title, skilled at using pens?

    I won't find it either, but there was an old Max/MSP forum discussion on Autechre methods circa Confield and Sean Anthony came there pissed and wrote something along the lines of "does it really matter which type of pen was used to write a suicide note". So it may be a jab at those who loved to attribute their sound to particular programming environment. Maybe a coincidence!

  4. What should have happened? The guy turned 50 (L in Roman numeration), that's the story. Why the fook should he celebrate it like he's some low taste pop primadonna.

    I haven't even heard of birthday dates of any other subforum artists.

    Gotta comment on that previous one...

    Artist statement:

    While working on this project, I had been researching various theoretical analyses conducted in identifying the components that affect the accuracy and stability of circuital oscillation. I discovered that the simulation and experimental test results derived from chaotic occurrences of bifurcation. Hopf bifurcation is the characteristic phenomenon of a nonlinear system. If the phase trajectory of the system converges to a focal point under certain configurations of the systems parameters, the system is stable. When changes are made to the systems parameters, the phase trajectory no longer converges to the focal point but rather to a closed curve called a limit cycle. The occurrence of Hopf bifurcation in a system means that it will behave with periodic motion, evolving the equilibrium point distribution curve and the transforming the phase portrait. If there is only one positive real eigenvalue at the unstable point, the positive real eigenvalue can be replaced by arbitrarily given eigenvalues with appropriate controller parameters. With the use of grain delays and comb resonators, I tried to illustrate the idea of machines searching for balance from within their invariant manifolds.

  6. All this talk about varied stuff etc is often leads to some super-cheesy acoustic drab like rock & jazz & 80s synth rehash or something similarly decrepit. The truth is music history (and arguably culture at large) has stopped some time around the millenium turn, being masked as "genre-blending", post-meta-deconstructed-assfuck lingo.

    New & upcoming releases is alright, there's enough non-subforum artists alikes there, fooking start to check it and participate

    No doubt the sceptics will scept again and prove their point with gutfeel.

    There are no proofs in this report (the full 4000 pages one) either. It just goes high confidence this, very likely that.

    A global bureaucracy of an organization built specifically for that task. Highly likely the solution would be: you, peasant, sit tight as we say, live in a pod, eat bugs -- and go extinct to save the planet/starving Africa/our expert asses. And if not, what's the sceptics interfere with, precisely? United fooking Nations?

    hard to deny yo.

    Yeah, it's a nightmare with a controller -- you have to pin-point the aim every time and can't stop either, coz loot. The Witcher 3 was a loot paradise in comparison, I really don't get the decision to use 1st person with such 3rd person-based mechanics. Just by dressing yourself up with loot it could become a proper entertainment.

    That said, in making all the cut-scenes playable they did the 1st person view justice, i think it was next-level immersive indeed -- a way out of cut-scenes mayhem that is happening in big games (Death Stranding finished as a literal movie). The rest of the game just don't mix well.

    anyone been playing Cyberpunk 2077? any comments on its current state, how far it has/hasn't come since launch date in terms of patches and fixes? still can't believe what a fizzer that was, and to think I was going to build a new pc for it.

    I'm waiting for DLCs to drop to try to replay. It was pretty solid for me on PC (low-to-average build, 2019 graphics card) already in December after the initial patches. The only serious issue I had was FPS drop in intense city areas that wouldn't recover by itself.

    I'd been procrastinating for years on picking up the vinyl series one-by-one, which would've cost me at least 100-150 € and considerable amount of grind, so 25 € for the whole set in digital was a no-brainer. It's definitely not my favourite Hawtin material, but easily worth the asking price. A lot of people spend that amount on daily/weekly basis on craft beer pints or fancier drinks - or a couple of packs of cigarettes. The music's available in perpetuity after you buy it, but having lived hand to mouth as a student I know that 25 € can be a lot of money in many situations.

    I would add that the price is set for the whole world, and in a lot of countries that's far from an equivalent of coffee/cigarettes like it's usually presented in discussions.

    The cost of producing a track is suped muddy subject, one notable standard is what streaming services pay per 1 listen -- you don't own the stuff offline, but that's the most common & convenient way of consuming digital releases currently -- and this pay is, like, less than a cent, making it three hundred plays for a dollar reward. Thus, when selling tracks 2 euro per unit like Hawtin does here (when the established practice is around 1 euro), you punish fans for finding a way to reward you more directly.

    Not saying it isn't worth it, yet it's perfectly normal to stop at such prices.

    >Richard D James is the alpha male of electronica

    That's not the full quote.

    >Richard D James is the alpha male of electronica, a sinewave surfer and synthesiser symbiant, as likely to set up his FX under the polythene peaks of a well appointed Wendy house as choreograph the flexing of a bunch of fully pumped female bodybuilders whose muscle profiles suggested they'd changed their order from cheesecake to beefcake.

    Which is basically the equivalent of

  14. You (or dat redditor) talk like it's a bad thing. There's a shitload of Commies out there (and probably here) and they're nice people overall despite Commies being sickening bloodsuckers historically.

    Quote

    Believes in a form of Social Darwinism in which Judeo-Christian culture is inherently superior to others and in which biology selects these culturally superior traits.

    There's no such thing as Judeo-Christian culture, it's two separate cultures that had a lot of co-living with a lot of struggle. There's nothing bad in prefering certain cultures, especially your own, the moment you stop doing it that culture starts to deteriote which we see currently. Calling everyone slightly conservative a Nazi is a part of that suicidal tendency.

    Quote

    Salivates over hierarchical laws of nature, and the Pareto Principle, Vilfredo Pareto being a big influence on WW2 era fascists.

    That's a bit jumpy argument, to be fair. Also I don't personally feel the "salivates" bit, I mean does he? Is he also jerking off to it? Lubricates it with saliva first? What does he do next with it?

    Quote

    Quotes, retweets and interviews race realists ( Linda Gottfredson et al), and self-described white nationalists who advocate a white ethnostate.

    You can't talk with those people, there's a Gulag for that! By the way, did you know that Gulag was installed and administered by Jews all the way thru the beautiful 1937-1938 purge of millions of innocent people? Nothing to do with ethnicity, in fact!

    Quote

    Promotes a "postmodern neo Marxist" conspiracy, a resurrection of the far-right, anti-Semitic, Cultural Bolshevism meme.

    He gotta have a brand to sell. But yeah, all those trannies from Twitter with hammer and sickle and quite aт innumerable bunch of openly Marxist "no borders, no genders" activists have nothing to do with culture or Bolshevism, it was just a coincidence that Bolsheviks pursued identical policy after the Revolution.

    Quote

    Believes he has divinely ordained missions and apocalyptic meat/apple induced fever dreams.

    Apocalyptic meat/apple induced fever dreams! That's poetic. Well, that's a good point, if you think about it. So it's not only a Hitler thing, but a more general Nazi trait?

    Quote

    Has a house full of Stalinist art to remind him of the enemy.

    I think he just wants to fuck Stalin and compensates for it. Isn't Stalinism a much lesser enemy to a Nazi than Bolsheviks though? In art they actually have a lot in common.

    Quote

    Named his daughter after the guy who toppled Soviet communism.

    Josephaila? Gorbachev was too much of a cretin to topple anything.

    Quote

    Shares the far-right's fascistic longing for the past and traditional gender roles.

    They sorta worked for hundreds of years before fascism, but OK, this longing is a Nazi trait. And Cultural Bolshevism is a conspiracy.

    Quote

    Jumps to the defense of Caylan Ford, a woman who is saddened by the demographic replacement of white people from their homelands and who thinks western civilization collapses unless run by white dudes.

    Hmm. What's wrong with that absolutely healthy view? It's not like any other civilizations are run by more than one race. So whites are like 11% of the world population and their countries should host all the coloured folks and be replaced by them even if some countries didn't mess with them at all ever. In the desired end whites would be the only ones on the planet not running anything, because colonisation was a common sin.

    Fetishizes masculinity, power and strength.

    Everyone has their kinks. 

    Quote

    Obsessed with what he perceives to be deviants (transgender people, gays, those with "low competency", "low IQs" etc).

    They're deviant by definition. Not for long, of course! Again, his obsession clearly masks a sexual tension.

    Quote

    Fears society becoming weak and collectively feminized, and is generally disgusted with the Other (refers to transgender people as a "plague", promotes the conspiratorial/anti-scientific "rapid onset gender dysphoria" meme, thinks Arab are innately "less competent" and "resent Jewish success", that "gay parents are sub optimal" etc).

    It's all unarguably untrue. Proven by science!

    Quote

    Believes class is naturally ordained and that a woman's natural and biological identity is that of the caregiver/mother.

    Yeah, what a monster, masking oppression by biology! I mean look at women's reproductive system, we have abortion for that.

    Quote

    Is paid hundreds of thousands of dollars by racist, Islamophobic organizations (Ezra Levant and company) and allies with Doug Ford, a politician with loose connections to alt right and white nationalist types.

    Fair enough, still much less than any significant BLM, LGBT-nity, pro-migration, anti-hatespeech funds and the like get from our corpo overlords.

    Quote

    Has a paranoid obsession with preserving or protecting culture from infection.

    Indeed, a stupid hater. I like anal sex, too.

    Quote

    Believes we must take cues from the animal kingdom and re-embrace order and dominance hierarchies which favor the strong, high IQed and highly competent.

    Eh, it kinda repeats the previous points. Is this for a stronger effect? Like he's definitely a Nazi by this point! Yet there's more!

    Quote

    Believes we're apocalyptically withdrawing from traditions, religion and nation-centredness, and that we're locked in a Nietzschean war between Apollonian order and Dionysian chaos.

    Suicide is a sort of apocalypse, i guess. Frankly, he kinda makes it seem cool.

    Quote

    Defends Jews by citing Henry Harpending, a eugenicist and "racist realist" who thinks European Jews bred themselves to be smarter, and who speaks at conferences on “Preserving Western Civilization" alongside white nationalists and eugenicists like Peter Brimelow and Jean-Philippe Rushton.

    You can never defend Jews enough, I know!

    Believes that we're under siege by precisely what the Nazi's anti-Semitic Cultural Bolshevik meme puts forth.

    Well, Jews control most of the media and the money. Maybe they're just that good.

    Quote

    Tries to start organizations dedicating to outing, blacklisting or firing intellectuals he deems heretical.

    Ohhhh, those Nazies with their cancelling! Someone gotta stop the fuckers!

    Quote

    Attacks intellectuals and intellectual institutions whilst misusing science to justify bashing others.

    Attacking intellectuals is bad, I agree. The key is not to misuse SCIENCE!

    Quote

    Believes that the citizen's life need be turned into a mythic hero's story, complete with a culturally potent mix of images, myths, tradition, nostalgia, and emotional and spiritual aesthetics, as well as a "narrative of return" which is opposed by sneaky, villainous cultural Marxists who have infected society and academia like a plague or parasite.
