Twin Peaks is overrated. New Lynch is way better

How does the World view America these days?
dingformung replied to Rubin Farr's topic in General Banter
USA is so different from Europe. Here everybody thinks it's extremely weird to possess guns except some shooting club villagers and in the US every asshole has one. There won't be any consensus so the discussion is probably useless. But do you want your crazy stupid choleric neighbour to possess a weapon that can potentially kill you? -
But is it narcissm?

Narcos was nice! Looking forward to the third season I started watching Black Mirror today. It's a mini series (2 seasons á three 45-minute episodes) from 2011. Only watched the first one but it was quite interesting. The prime minister of England receives a video tape with the kidnapped princess. She reads the bizarre demand of her kidnapper: The prime minister must fuck a pig in public television. It's interesting because the mood changes throughout the episode from amusing to melancholic because it's presented quite realistically

The Act of Killing It's a documentary about the massacres in Indonesia in the late 60s. I used bold and big letters to show how recommendable it is :) They follow a group of people who executed the massacres against the communist and film their shocking remorselessness

Not sure about the assorted oils and musks :D But yes, it's like looking at a child's drawing: it's not exactly Dalí but reflects the child's thoughts/feelings. Like a diary

Do you listen to your own music? For the process of making it you have to, I know - that's not what I mean. And maybe after it's done you want to check if it's a good one or not and listen to it from time to time for a week or so, sure - I don't mean that either. But I mean do you listen to your tracks that are done and at a point that you certainly won't change anything anymore just for pleasure? I listen to what I made from time to time, especially the older ones because it's interesting how perspective on them changes and also how the style changed - not only technically but also emotionally. Sometimes I'm impressed on what I did years ago and enjoy tracks I considered throwouts at that time, sometimes I notice how I failed at making good music. :) It's fun Maybe that's what brought me at making music - playing with sounds for my personal curiosity How about you?

Good Industrial music that you can recommend
dingformung replied to dingformung's topic in Music Discussion
thanks for the recommendations - good stuff amongst it, will check it all when I have more time on my hands -
Yeah I think the style is very impressionistic: You don't have to get every detail - that would drive you crazy - but let the story create some lose pictures in your head

curvacten feed1 mesh cenereaL can enjoy them in every situation chimer 1-5-1 provokes a very special vibe but isn't as minblowing as most of the others I think

Started to read Infinite Jest 1 or 2 years ago but never finished. Should try to read it one more time because it's so unique and weird. Tried in English first but had to use the dictionary 5 times per sentence, so I switched to German - very impressive translation work I think

Cool album but I think taht every song sounds very very similiar (bitcrushed drums + melancholic synthstrings), but nonetheless enjoyable -

I think a mild utilitarism isn't bad. I'd call it non-egocentric pragmatism it means "kill all disbelievers"
-
Thinking radically utilitarian it would be an option, maybe. But I think a lot of people would feel bad if that happened so even if you're a radical utilitarian it probably won't be an option.
-
Utilitarism is not about the number of lives that can be saved but the amount of joy and suffer that is felt I think. A suffering person's life is not as valuable as a happy person's life. A murderer will cause a lot of suffering while a doctor can cure it. The sum of joy has to be maximized and the sum of suffering minimized. The problem is that joy and suffering cannot be measured. But it can indeed be roughly estimated and doing that we can easily see that we're not living in an utilitarist society: industrial livestock farming, nationalism and individualism is not utilitarist.

António Lobo Antunes - Knowledge of Hell (1980) "Like his creator, the narrator of this novel is a psychiatrist who loathes psychiatry, a veteran of the despised 1970s colonial war waged by Portugal against Angola, a survivor of a failed marriage, and a man seeking meaning in an uncaring and venal society. The reader joins Antunes on a journey both real and phantasmagorical as he travels by car from a vacation in the Algarve back to his hated work as a psychiatrist at a Lisbon mental institution. In the course of one long day and evening, he carries on an imaginary conversation with his daughter Joanna, observes with surreal vision the bleak countryside of his nation, recalls the horrors of his involuntary role in the suppression of Angolan independence, and curses the charlatanism of contemporary psychiatric "advances" that destroy rather than heal." It's good
