OK, let's do an experiment. We're gonna take some piece of music and then your job is to contemplate with that music and reports on what it inspired you to focus on. Or you could try contemplating a specific subject with that music and seeing if it had a positive or negative effect, or if it made you more creative or less creative. And so on. The context was from a previous thread where we concluded that Leo has a specific music preference, which has a specific emotion that he prefers for contemplation. All of his music falls into one specific emotional frame that he seems to prefer over others, were he posts on the blog. The frame being "nostalgic beauty of life", with a bit of sadness and longing to it. But that's up for debate. Looking into this further, it is clear that music create a specific frame and can stimulate in different ways or not stimulate. My personal experience of Leo's music is that it disrupts my thinking process, why this is is unclear. This is also an open discussion about this topic: feel free.

Lonely house wife is a real thing.

LMFAO actually i am that guy, it was a thing. But I need to ask, is it because on the blog you only want a certain type of music to represent you? https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lDlU08RU7Tk&si=sQmDr8m7p_-XY-Px John Williams Jurassic Park. When you hear this, do you feel anything? Does this trigger your childhood in anyway? Star Wars the main theme do you feel anything at all? Do you get a sense that this is a masterpiece?

That's true but is he really dangerous? I don't see him as a psychopathic goblin.

Maybe Mark Ruffalo? I think people would rally behind him.

Id vote for him in this climate. Anyone from my generation please. MrBeast isn't a goblin. He has a heart.

I'm waiting for the liberals to play the popularity contest game. Get your best celebrity out there what are they waiting for? Where are the liberal celebrities at????? GET THEM TO WORK.

@Leo Gura Thats reasonable. Id like to add: A gay person acting on their orientation in a hostile country is demonstrating courage and a need for human connection. A pedophile who offends against a child is demonstrating antisocial traits and lack of empathy. So ye one has to be socially hidden and the other you can build a community around, the circumstances is different. Often the predator is the father or stepfather. Parents and stepparents have unlimited private access to children, no grooming period needed, and the child is completely dependent on them for survival. There's no logistical challenge at all. The child lives with them. Nobody is watching. And often the child has no real idea what's happening and are dependent on the parents for survival. Then throw poverty in the mix, and you could see the difficulty level drops quite a bit. The most common form of child sexual abuse is the one with the fewest barriers because it's within the family, the least detection because the child doesn't know what's happening they think it's love or normal, the lowest reporting rate, and the worst justice outcomes based on statistics. The most common thing like I always hear from every sexual abuse victim is that a family member rapped then and then other family members covered it up or it was just not processed or reported. Like the typical scenario that the father groomed the whole family and the mother. Or the mother has a new boyfriend and he raped the children for years, and the mother ignores it because she's focussed on her own survival and doesn't want to derail her life. I know someone who was raped by the stepfather, and she went to the police and because she didn't have semon evidence (she took a shower) so they did nothing. The mother stayed with the rapist and Will emotionally shut down if any conversation about it happens. So the justice system largely completely fails these children. Rape convictions are super strict, you need DNA evidence.

I agree it's huge, its the main thing that effects the quality of ones day, most people live lives that are completely emotionally unstable like the day is a roller coaster, and the main reason is because they're state deaf. They have no awareness how their emotion was created by all the factors that came together. And it gets worse with age because the body isn't as resilient at handling all of these bad habits. So they become more and more grumpy and unhappy as people get older. I absolutely have to eat meat and animal products or else there's a major decline and it's swift. Now this is different for everyone. I just don't have the healthy enough digestion probably to extract everything I need from plants. So all animal products are heavy meaning they will drain your energy when you eat them, and the worst time to eat them is in the morning which will cause agitation and a crash. I eat vegetarian in the morning, I get my full workout in and after im fully warmed up ill introduce meat at around 2 PM. This rejuvenate and fills up my muscles with energy and my brain with energy, mostly because my system is warmed up to process the meet. Eating any kind of animal products in the morning the body just isn't warmed up for it. my body is to sluggish in the morning to really get through it. But this could be different for you.. One of the best things someone could do is stop eating at around 2 PM. The reason is you're gonna be fully digested while you sleep and you're gonna have way better sleep quality. I'm not perfect at doing this because it's hard to get enough food in before 2 PM right you gotta get all your nutrients in before that time Other things I've noticed is caviar plays a big role in brain function, and I'm far more intelligent if I eat a teaspoon in the morning. People's bodies are very different so you gotta experiment but some things do translate over like avoiding meat in the morning and 2 PM cut off for sleep is generally universal. I can go on and on, but ill stop here.

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with his preferences, i want to know why it's such an extremely narrow range lol None of this music is stuff he grew up with. It's not even part of his childhood, why is it so specific? Its reasonable that "tranquil dream music" is good for contemplation, its all makes sense from that frame.

Top profession.

Statories.

He made a three hour video on the topic. Did you watch it?

Prison would stop very few from having sex lol Religions figured that out long ago

I eat to maximize state. I track state over time not calories. This food = this state. This quantity of this food = this state. This frequency of eating = this state. This food = this mental performance. This food = this physical performance. This food = this sexual performance. This = this pain. This = this sleep quality. Doing this = causes this. This sun expore at this time = this sleep quality, this digestion quality, this core default temperature, this... Hundrends of experiments tracking hundereds of variables. All stored in memory. Its automatic. Experimentation, Observation

It's a bit more specific than just a style. let's imagine you were to post gongs every week. week 1: " i love this gong so good for contemplation", week 2: "this really is one of he best gongs" week 3... week 4. Every time you post music i have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out what changed, the variation is so slight. Its like week 1: valina ice cream with 2 sesame sprinkles, week 2: vanilla ice cream with 4 sesame sprinkles. week 3: vanilla ice cream with 12 sesame sprinkles "and this time you emphasize how amazing it is" lol week 1 Week 2 week 3 week 4.. Do you see how over specific this is? It all blends together. It's like every heavy metal song I have to go back and listen to the previous one to figure out oh OK "the yelling in this one is different" 😂

Oh not to worry i enjoyed every bit of it.

That might be the point, Its "Brian Eno. He designed ambient music to be "as ignorable as it is interesting" that was his principle."

Right, I'm not arguing with him, I'm asking why this helps him contemplate. Practically: find what works for you and use that as a tool. But I want something deeper than that. Why is that something that is rooted into his psyche and not mine. And why does it not disrupt him and it disrupts mine?

That's a fair point, let me be more exact of the pattern. Here I analyze the last nine tracks on the blog. There's genuinely positive, bittersweet, and sad tracks in there. It's not one emotion. But the reason it all feels the same is because the other dimensions of music across the playlist are the same. Arousal level: low to low-moderate (8/9) Tempo: mid-tempo (7/9) Harmonic complexity: predictable, no surprises (9/9) Sonic aesthetic: atmospheric, dreamy, soft electronic production (7/9) Genre family: chill indie-electronic ecosystem (7/9) Texture: nothing harsh, nothing abrasive, nothing jarring (9/9) Overall vibe: beautiful, gentle, safe (9/9) - I used Ai to help do analysis for this. Not that it wasn't obvious lol problem is articulating things because you're very specific on language. In 7 of the tracks the tempo background drum beat is identical. boom tab boom tab boom tab... It's like giving me nine heavy metal pieces of music and then telling me they're not all the same? They are harmonic electronic dreamy atmospheric production style. Producing a similar nervous system stimulation.

The INTP point might have some truth to it for Leo. I think Leo would respond to this whole thread that it's complete preference, whatever works for you. He shares music that works for him. But I don't think he has addressed why it's that specific emotion that he prefers over others. What the deeper meaning or map behind it is?

The most conscious answer has arrived 😂. We be playing monkey games. Cheers!

😂😂

I was waiting for Leo to bestow upon us the most conscious answer.

LOl both pictures look like you're thinking "what am I looking at?" "why do I exist?" Staring into the void.
