Niezsche's song is the dire strangeness that feeds the mind with the birth of tragedies that acclaim the life of scientists.

Lyrics are beautiful and depict his tragedy very well but the song is quite contradictionary because Nietzsche would have absolutely despised AI Art

@kotharianlightning Ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment and I'll give a brief run-down as to the nature of this experiment of mine. The first point is that the fundamental point of music, from the perspective of Nietzsche, is always to elevate the listener. Songs like this are better at that than the vast majority of music out there, regardless of whether performed by humans or not. It can't reach the heights of great lyrics + a great human performance, but that's not exceptionally common in music regardless. Second, the method of music composition in the modern era is simply different from physical performances of the past, in a way that previous philosophies of music couldn't really comprehend and therefore couldn't adequately offer a perspective on. The music that I've personally composed, for example, is all digital based using sound clips and this is quite common among current musicians. It gives you the opportunity to have a orchestra, essentially overcoming the physical limitations. Even albums that are primarily physical performances typically have a hybrid form where they use elements of digital music. Third, the use of Generative AI music is usually similar to sorting out musical clips in digital music. There's trial and error in what works, you have to go through a bunch of different pieces and put them together, etc. The only song that I've ever had come out great with a single generation is Snakes and Doves. The others have to be spliced together or edited. This song, for example, had I think 60 generations and five splices to put it together. Most of the splices went fine, but there's a brief error before the line "Scion of Poland no longer cares" where the . It took me about four hours in total to get the composition put together. The fourth point is that everyone has to decide how much struggle (the process in bringing an artistic idea into reality) affects their perspective on the value of an artistic piece. In this case the struggle involves writing the lyrics, refining them, then essentially contracting the performance to a generative AI and saying yes or no to the different compositions. Whether that's enough struggle or if it negatively affects the piece to the point it isn't appreciable is up to the listener. There isn't really an objective cut-off point for a yes or no on the issue. A few last points. I just posted an image in the "Post" section of my channel that I think might challenge your viewpoint on the value of AI art. Specifically it was the image that convinced me it could have value. Lastly, I've got a few upcoming videos about the philosophy art that I've already recorded but need to be edited and put together. They were supposed to be out by now (to tide the channel over until I get my next animations finished), but unfortunately the Tenet situation derailed that and was a bit too interesting for me to let slide.

Good answer but the lyrics is pretentious and cliche @@kotharianlightning

@kotharianlightning Ай бұрын

@@Aman-ln2oh What exactly do you find pretentious/cliche about the lyrics? Those two ideas are usually in conflict with one another, pretentious being another word for elitism vs. cliche describing mass media. The series of songs that I'm working on are intended to be from the perspective of different people, not all of whose ideas/perceptions are real. In this case the idea is that a lot of Nietzsche's past experiences and ideas are mingling together as he's sitting in front of a window, effectively paralyzed, looking at the rising sun. The chorus is based on a passage in Thus Spoke Zarathustra where Zarathustra talks about sitting in a cave talking to the sun and waiting for lightning to strike him.

@@vibe80118 One thing I'll say is that I've been running these videos on the "Strict" comment setting rather than the "Normal" setting. That's because I anticipated that they could potentially run into issues in the comments if certain people showed up. It's possible that could be the issue your comment ran into. Links tend to also run into the issue on youtube that they more often than not get classified as spam because there's unfortunately sporadic outbreaks of spam bots on youtube, usually trying to dupe people into clicking on erotic content. Anyways, the workings of the youtube moderation bots are really speculative, and I don't think anyone really understands them (maybe not even the people at Google really). There aren't clear guidelines for things that could get you moderated/downgraded in the ratings, it's just very vague. As far as my personal moderation actions go, I've only deleted one comment recently on the channel, and that was on a short video with an off-topic content that was just promoting propaganda, not even interacting with the content of the video If the comment is on topic though, even if I have criticism of the poster, I prefer to take it head-on rather than suppressing anything.

Thank you for reading all of this, it was a lot of work for you. I read an article and also watched an interview with Ewan White who left the community of Jesus before Aaron but at about the same age Aaron left at. Aaron was an infant when Ewan left but he knew Aaron's family. Ewan is self admittedly deeply scarred and damaged. It seems the psychological abuse these children endured was horrific beyond what a reasonable person can heal from. Ewan has never been able to have a normal life and said he has expected "the next David Koresh" to come from that community. I also read there is a large suicide rate among adults who were raised there. With no other factors in play; I think brainwashing is all Aaron understood. I wonder if Aaron was so brainwashed that had he lived, would he have become a serial bomber or mass shooter? On the other hand, I agree with you about Aaron's transgenderism and wonder; had he lived and learned to embrace himself perhaps he would have just become another crazy trans screaming at people in stores for calling him sir? None of this excuses the pure hatred and mean spirit Aaron displayed in his social media. Just on the grounds that he suffered so (and probably no other reason) I am struggling to accept that he was a horrible human being but things are not looking good for him. I can leave the links to the article and video if you want.

I am very grateful that you are continuing this series. The message you are getting out is important for people to hear. I am not saying the following is what I believe (but not saying it isn't) or what you are implying but my thoughts that Aaron's act and the reaction to it have provoked. If we were to look at Aaron's suicide from a religious perspective and consider the evil extremism his act has brought to light and invoked; we could possibly say that Satan found a naive and vulnerable young man who was once a child of Christ and lost his faith. Seeking fellowship, this young man was seduced by Satan's lies through online propaganda and anarchist groups and intern, sacrificed his soul to bring hatred onto Israel and possibly usher in world war. I grew up with Holocaust survivors in my family, all of my grandparents lost relatives to the Holocaust and my father served in Germany, Austria and France during ww2. Things I have been hearing and reading since Aaron's suicide are things I was warned by the elders in my family over and over that they heard and most did not believe until it was too late. My grandfather's cousins Irving and Frieda took every opportunity to show me the numbers tattooed on their arms saying "Never forget because as soon as we forget, it will happen again".

If I might, the problem with the concept of evil spirits/demons is that they were essentially the personification of disease by early humans. Early humans didn't know about germ theory, but needed a way to explain why people got sick with disease, and so evil spirits were the explanation. That's why so much of the idea behind evil spirits is them possessing people and distorting their bodies, all while being invisible. So there isn't any sort of being like a Satan out there, the biblical idea is simply the result of a flawed explanation of a natural phenomenon that was turned into an argument for various types of morality. But humans don't need angels or devils to explain their morality. People have the capacity for a lot of good and a lot of evil, it's just how they choose to apply themselves. The idea of evil as coming from a place of jealousy is often valid. So the satanic impulse has a root in reality, but not as a spiritual phenomenon, instead as a human psychological phenomenon. And if there is anything that is apart from humanity, we can perhaps consider certain abstract ideas to take upon themselves a sort of evil life of their own.

@kotharianlightning 7 ай бұрын

Another thing I'll mention about demons is that if you read the Jewish lore about them, they're usually described as beings who are like hairy humans with bird-like feet. While the bird-like feet is I think a fantastical addition, there's a lot of folklore in the world which suggests that humans had encounters with another species of co-existing hairy hominid that was larger than humans and very often aggressive towards them. So you think of beings like Yetis, Sasquatch, Enkidu, Wildmen, Jotun, etc. After that species went extinct/became rare, the reality of them faded from memory and at they merged with a growing shadow-pantheon of evil spirits.

@@kotharianlightning I wish there was a definitive answer to all you are saying but the difficulty in interpreting anything from the old and new testament is that we have no real translation for the old testament other than the Torah and then the problem with Hebrew (it's ancient root language anyway) it that there is no real translation into English (or any other language) because a single word of Hebrew can be an entire paragraph in English. There are many books to the Torah hidden from the public and all of it is left to "Hebrew scholars" to interpret and reveal only what they see fit. The New testament was translated and rewritten over and over again throughout the Middle Ages and the reign of the Inquisition (and as you stated, response to misunderstood disease and illness). Finally, all of it, books and books from the old and new testament hidden by the Vatican so I guess we really have no idea what the true foundation (or existence) of God, heaven and hell is except for what we are told by those trusted to convey the history from it's roots. All of that being said; I have had a long life for my age, my feet in many worlds (so to speak) and have experienced quite a bit that could be construed as "other worldly". Much of it from a place of light and some from a place of darkness. From an ocean of stories, I will share just one. Both of my parents died of cancer 8 years apart. I had the privilege (and curse) of being with each of them through the end of their lives and at the moment they passed. Based on what I saw, heard and experienced first hand, with my own ears, eyes and mind; There is more than just the world we know. What is the more, where is it, how is it? That is the question.

Aaron's final statement before self immolating haunts me; "this is what our ruling class has decided will be normal". Was that statement calculated to encourage others to follow in his foot steps? Then his written statement "To my friends and brother, I am sorry for the way I am leaving you but if I were truly sorry; I wouldn't be doing it. The machine demands blood, none of this is fair". On one hand it sounds like the ramblings of a madman but does it carry a tone of manipulation for others to feed "the machine"? I am still trying to find compassion for Aaron and see the suffering in his soul however after scrutinizing his social media, processing articles I have read by people who had a similar abusive upbringing to his (in the Community of Jesus), hearing the hateful views of those who supported him; the compassion is waning. Aaron clearly began as someone idealistic, good hearted, naive and vulnerable who was led down a dark road by propaganda and enablers but did he become dark souled himself at some point? If he received psychological help through this obvious "Psychotic break" would he have found his way back to the light or gone further into the darkness harming others instead of just himself? I read that the night before his immolation he stayed at an Econolodge in Bethesda Md. (which on a map is right down Embassy row so makes sense), he never checked out leaving his belongings in the room which investigators found. Obviously investigators have his car, phone (so were able to access his apps, media and contacts), had access to his apartment in Ohio, interviewed people who knew him, worked with him, etc. I especially would like to know if he acted on his own or as part of a cell/at least enabled by one. A final question is whether the media outlets he notified that he was going to engage in an extreme protest at the Israeli embassy had a legal obligation to report it to authorities and if any will be held liable or culpable? I don't know how long these investigations take or how much will be released due to him being military but hope at some point we will get some answers. Some other interesting facts I discovered throw another layer of confusion into the mix. Aaron managed to get a private sector position to complete his last 6 months of his military contract. In November 2023 he began work at General Electric's home appliance division in Hudson Ohio as a networking consultant. Unlikely he would have had any knowledge of military activities (other than from media). He was involved in several LGBT anarchist leaning outreach groups here and some from those groups are confirming him as gay (another guilt issue that could lead to self destruction given his upbringing and already existing confusion). I have heard from a friend who was formerly associated with one that they were quite extreme. Looking at photos of Aaron at his going away party in TX and comparing his face to the face we see before his immolation he looks like a different person. In Texas he looked happy and cheerful and in his final post he he seems "extremely unwell". The mental illness shows clearly when you make the comparison (he was in abuse counselling in Texas, I cannot confirm but perhaps on meds then went off?) . This leads me to believe whatever happened to him happened in OH. Disregarding his upbringing already existing mental illness extreme propagandist influences, isolation from being in a new environment, sexual/identity confusion, no longer having his cat to care for (contrary to media, it seems he gave the cat away before leaving Texas), seasonal depression is a big issue people struggle with in the part of Ohio he was living. Coming from San Antonio where the sun always shines to Ohio where cloudy and overcast is the norm is enough in itself to cause a deep state of depression. There is a lot to unpack here and even more than what I have written. I am very interested in your thoughts on all of this.

"I especially would like to know if he acted on his own or as part of a cell/at least enabled by one." I don't know for sure, but I can tell you that there are a lot of accelerationists on the internet who like to prey on the naïve/angst-ridden/mentally ill and manipulate them. For example, we've seen this with a number of mass shooters where they've been manipulated to do things by accelerationist contacts. The problem is that a lot of that sort of thing happens on private discords, telegram channels, or other aps that are even more private. Aaron, for example, did apparently have a secured contact channel with anarchist groups on his phone that he deleted before his death. As for if someone suggested for Aaron to do this action, it's possible, but there's nothing conclusive right now. One major potential is that if he was in an isolated situation and facing depression he might have more inclined to drastic actions. I will say that contrary to what I had reported, we do actually have an archive of his posts that you can get at the below link (although we don't generally have his post history archived beyond the first 1000 posts, or until 9 months ago, so I guess my general statements about the archive and my own earlier archives are still valid). I have a video upcoming about it, but if you'd like to take a look you can (the "previous" button runs into an archive issue, but the "next" button will work until about 9 months ago): web.archive.org/web/20240228105413/old.reddit.com/user/acebush1?count=50&after=t1_kqylf8h

@@vibe80118 He would have had 4th degree burns. It's not the sort of thing someone can remain coherent through for an interview. And Aaron only harmed himself directly, so it wouldn't be standard procedure to enforce an interview at that point. As for recovering info, Aaron was technologically aware, so he would have covered his tracks and left behind only the info he wanted. In the interview with his friends, this line was mentioned: "Aaron deleted Signal before he self-immolated. A last act of security and love for his comrades." Signal is a private message ap, which I guess is how he would have remained in talks with his contacts.

@@kotharianlightning I read that about Aaron deleting signal (which I thought meant his phone signal) and it confused me as I wondered how he was able to livestream, I did not realize "signal" was an app till you just said that. So, I just did a quick Google search on the signal app. Although the app communications are encrypted and any other contact info is stored on the phone; of course Aaron deleted it all as you said. In spite of that, "Signal" does store the actual phone number and location of anyone using the app in their database so that could be accessed. Also; unless Aaron did a hard wipe on his phone, deleted data could probably still be retrieved (possibly even after that with the right software and knowledge). Obviously Aaron (and probably you) know more about that than I do but I think had he done a hard wipe; he would not have been able to livestream through Twitch. IDK, just the bare minimum I just Googled but I want to remain hopeful the full truth will come out. Also; although his bodily damage was only done to himself, I believe his act caused political and sociological damage part of which may be coming to a head between Israel, Iran and the US right now as we speak.
