Daily life - Thinking The World

I don't understand why most of today's groups continue to try to make believe the people that their music is original: most music released today is a rearranged copy of something you've never heard.

It would be way better to our ears if we decided that all music released more than 10 years ago became public domain: it would allow underground bands to play more covers in the bars, adding some of their style, but not having to hide that 90% of what they do is copy from somebody else..

This is quite applicable to all kinds of art. It is maybe time to discover the art of reinterpretation (it would be better to reinterpret El Greco in a Monet style than to loose time trying to interpret Miro's art in my humble opinion).

Maybe it would also reduce the number of shitty DJays playing around...hehe

cheers

Idiot correlations

November 19th 2009 11:47

Economists love to invent stupid theories of how 2 completely separate things are correlated. They believe (and make believe) that when you compare 2 variables and, after some basic math, check that they are "correlated", you can guess the value of one by having the values of the other.

Models like these for example find that the expenses in beer and evolution of the GDP of a country a correlated; the number of rock songs in the Rolling Stone 500 best songs of all time and the production of oil are correlated; etc.

Well, I'm a fashion victim as well: I've just noticed, after 5 years of deep study on the matter, that 80% of the serial killers of the world eat bread for their breakfasts. So next time you'll be interviewing someone to do some babysitting for your kid, remember to ask what they eat in the morning...

cheers.

Stacked actors

I allways wonder how the hell can all those people in holywood live their lives neglecting completely the rest of the world's misery.

I mean, Europe and Japan are rich places too. You can find people in fancy cars spending huge amounts of money to dine in a good restaurant. But the problem in holywood is that, not only they have fancy cars and restaurants, they want to show it to world. And spend as much as they can doing it

The interest in a economic crisis in the US

January 28th 2008 05:20

I know, this is not politically correct, but i have an idea that the music made in the US can be way better if they have an economic crisis in the following years.

Why? Because millionaire hip hop is a little bit too far away from the reality of the rest of the world, and to be deeply sincere, it sucks

The end of icons, a start for living ideas

January 23rd 2008 15:39

Continuing with the idea about the inet.

Consider that nowadays we can exchange information and learn faster than ever. Adding the fact that someone's "revolution of the day" will be changed and used by another to become a new "revolution" tomorrow

Sofortgeist of the inet era

January 20th 2008 12:34

Zeitgeist is a german word meaning the spirit of the people, i.e., the main ideas that a people - in a certain period of time - follow.

In this internet era, with all it's speed in creating - and destroying - waves, maybe a sofortgeist would be more appropriate. The spirit of an instant, of the immediate. Of course this can be inserted in the Zeitgeist that would have to be way broader to be able to define the spirit of a time

Why do people get so mad when discusing politics?

August 11th 2007 16:12

In general, politics, as religion - for the portuguese football can also get in the list - are subjects one should not discuss.

The thing is that it's quite tuff to acept men you completely dispise to be ruling certain nations (hey Mr. Bush...). Their ideas go in the exact oposite way of yours, "what the hell these men are doing there? Can't they see

Even though the hole XVIII'th century humanism based their hole philosophy over this idea i sometimes give second thoughts about it.

The "perfectibilty" of men, the "freedom" that leaves us to choose between will and instinct. Or, as Rousseau said (and was resued by every humanist after him

Broadcast yourself...

July 6th 2007 20:55

One of the things that i ask myself about these "converging" communication technologies is how will we have access to information in 20 years.

Think that in the future we'll be able to echange information so fast that we'll be able to be connected almost all the time. It is something like having telepaphy, you don't even have to say, people around already know

Live longer, avoid routine

March 15th 2007 00:26

The biological way:

Studies on the brain functioning show that when you're faced with situations that you haven't never been through your brain has many more information to deal with, and thus spend a lot more energy trying to get information about things around
