As my dear old friend Manny Kant said, "Die Logiker sagen mit Recht, daß man beim Gebrauch der Urteile
in Vernunftschlüssen die einzelnen Urteile gleich den allgemeinen
behandeln könne. Denn eben darum, weil sie gar keinen Umfang haben,
kann das Prädikat derselben nicht bloß auf einiges dessen, was unter
dem Begriff des Subjekts enthalten ist, gezogen, von einigem aber
ausgenommen werden. Es gilt also von jenem Begriffe ohne Ausnahme,
gleich als wenn derselbe ein gemeingültiger Begriff wäre, der einen
Umfang hätte, von dessen ganzer Bedeutung das Prädikat gelte.
Vergleichen wir dagegen ein einzelnes Urteil mit einem gemeingültigen,
bloß als Erkenntnis, der Größe nach, so verhält sie sich zu diesem
wie Einheit zur Unendlichkeit, und ist also an sich selbst davon
wesentlich unterschieden. Also, wenn ich ein einzelnes Urteil
(judicium singulare) nicht bloß nach seiner inneren Gültigkeit,
sondern auch, als Erkenntnis überhaupt, nach der Größe, die es
in Vergleichung mit anderen Erkenntnissen hat, schätze, so ist
es allerdings von gemeingültigen Urteilen (judicia communia)
unterschieden, und verdient in einer vollständigen Tafel der Momente
des Denkens überhaupt (obzwar freilich nicht in der bloß auf den
Gebrauch der Urteile untereinander eingeschränkten Logik) eine
besondere Stelle."

Didja ever get a sonogram of yur brain? It is suppose to get you high depending on frequency and short duration. It has something to do with the singing neurons and pyramidal cells which contain your micro
tubuels which can measure wave function collapse on a quantum scale.
Quantum consciousness goes back to Schrodiger's 1932 book What is Life. In the last 10 years the awareness of quantum consciousness has exploded. The ventricals can help islate the quantum and the pyramidal cells in the tmporal lobes can decipher the signals.
The universe operates on a non computational level including time insights that spreads events out. The insights you have goes beyond the rules. Understanding goes beyond computation.

I watch Bach in a graphic manner as the music is highlighted in color as it moves along.
I realized that Toccata and Fugue was like a fractal with an added dimension of pitch and frequency. An audio fractal may only be doubled in rhythm and added in its simplest form an octave higher.
Add counterpoint lines and the fractal creates yet another dimension.
This would be a different approach to machine learned chorale 4 voice leading Bach. The usual method is by programing examples in the hundreds and have the computer create a new version based on those examples.

I have an updated theory of evolution.
Survival of the most joyous and good feelings a species have.

On a quantum level of cillia on a paramecium to a human being's comprable micro tubuels in our pryamidial cells the good feelings of being alive and reproducing are factors in the continuation and groth of life.
The power of orgasm derives all life in the universe.
If it feels good, its alive. This an eastern concept that life is derived from the innate joyous universe and not just organization and computation by accident or pan spermia.

I like thinking of (new to me) ideas because it feels good.
If making quilts feel good and benefits a species it will grow.
If Elon Musk feels good about putting a car in orbit it is an expression of the universe. 8^}

DON'T SWAT YOUR MOTHER
(Brian Hooker & Porter Steele (c) 1919)

Homeward to their mother, two working men did come,
Weary from their honest toil and lighted up with rum.
Supper was not ready. One aimed a brutal blow,
When the blue-eyed baby stopped them, saying, "Brothers, don't do so.

Don't swat your mother, boys, just 'cause she's old!
Don't mop the floor with her face.
Think of her love as a treasure of gold,
Shining through shame and disgrace.

Don't put the rocking chair next to her eye.
Don't bounce the lamp off her bean!
Angels are watching you up in the sky.
Don't swat your mother, boys, it's mean!

On her cheeks the rose of Kildare
On her lips just a bit of blarney
and the rose of Kildare in her hair
She was cradled and born
on St. Patrick's morn
with a smile on her face so sublime
She's as sweet as the day
She stole Dad's heart away

When Schiller's text is dropped into Google translate (I couldn't work up any sturm und drang during the process, but it still worked), the resulting English column is a lot shorter. The Germans sure use a lot of extra syllables and letters.


Joy, beautiful spark of the gods, Daughter of Elysium
We enter your sanctuary drunk with fire
Your spells bind again what the fashion strictly divided
All people become brothers wherever your gentle wing dwells
Your spells bind again what the fashion strictly divided
All people become brothers wherever your gentle wing dwells

Who succeeded in being a friend's friend
Whoever wins a lovely woman mix in his jubilation
Yes, who even calls to be a soul on the earth
And whoever has never been able to steal their way out of this bond
Yes, who even calls to be a soul on the earth
And whoever has never been able to steal their way out of this bond

Joy Joy is the name of the spring in the eternal joy of nature.
Joy drives the wheels in the great world clock
She drives flowers from the bud, suns to the virmament
It penetrates into depths that the seer's pipe does not know

rapparee, that "Don't Swat Your Mother" lyric recalls
Brendan Behan's doggerel from his "The Hostage."

There's no place on earth like the world,
There's no place wherever you be,
There's no place on earth like the world,
That's straight up and take it from me.

Never throw stones at your mother,
You'll be sorry for it when she's dead.
Never throw stones at your mother,
Throw bricks at your father instead.

And there we will let matters rest.

The tragedy of the commons happens all the time
No food for children is not a despicable crime
But a tragedy of corporations is the worst on Earth
Thank my god Wall Street peaks and isn't cursed

Desolate death, evictions, addictions and pests
are glorious for the unequivical master of lies
Mercy is the power of pardons as sweet revenge crests
The most beautiful music comes from anguish and cries

Killing blacks is even better when its done by slow knee

You mean this one?

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much in the same way as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect, over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked; His wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire; He is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in His sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in His eyes than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. You have offended Him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet, it is nothing but His hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you were suffered to awake again in this would, after
you closed your eyes to sleep; and there is no other reason to be given, why you have not dropped into hell since you arouse in the morning, but that God's hand has held you up. There is no other reason to be given, but His mercy; yea, no other reason can be given why you do not this very moment drop down into hell.

O sinner, consider the fearful danger you are in! It is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire if the wrath that you are held over in the hand of that God whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you as against many of the damned in hell. You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any Mediator, and nothing
to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment. And consider here more particularly.
