Have any of you guys read de Sade?

I read Justine today. First time reading any de Sade. While I can see how it would be considered blasphemous (and been banned) when he wrote it...and you indeed need to have a pretty twisted mind to think of some of that stuff....I didn't think it was nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be based on other opinions. To be called the epitome of pure evil, satans author, etc? Hardly. The pure absurdity of the entire story bordered on comical. But underneath all of the sexual content lay some very good points, comparisons and life lessons. He was way ahead of his time regarding a lot of topics.

 

i'm more world obsessed then self obsessed. by that i mean, the kind of world we could all have, that we could all be free to create and explore in, if people didn't think hording everything to their own nests to try and impress each other, weren't somehow more important. more so then what anybody thinks of me. which is what the real hippies were all about too. and why corporate media invented the self fulfilling dirty drug addict image, to marginalize and trivialize them.

it is true that people could not survive in cities without infrastructure, and that infrastructure of such a nature and on such a scale, could not exist without social organization. but social organization and infrastructure can exist, without cities or hierarchy.

we will not end hierarchy by destroying anything, nor by killing each other. but by the practice of universally mutual consideration. and yes, with the right use of the right technologies, and we have those, a culture of mutual consideration, can have all the infrastructure it finds useful and gratifying.

(de sade's point, was just how anti-morality hierarchy really is, and how phony the pseudo-morality of anti-sexuality as a substitute for the real morality of learning how to avoid causing harm and practicing it. as for perversions, he was no more so then the self ritious he saterized. it was precisely their dishonesty and double standards he felt they needed their noses rubbed in)

there are many things we don't need, but we gain nothing by attempting to destroy them directly. when everyone ignores them, they will go away. hierarchy is a harder nut to crack, because of ego. but by mutual consideration, we can eliminate the vacuum that sucks it into existence.

we will always need to coordinate our efforts, if we are to have many of the things we love and enjoy, but authority need never be invested in individuals.

 

all that ^ is way above my pay grade....it sounds intelligent though....lots of 3 dollar phrases and words



i'm home.......white knuckle driving all day....nearly turned back twice......car did that swivel thing on the highway about 22 times today

 

I'm still forming my opinion of de Sade but I love that he seems willing to challenge anything and anyone that he sees fit. I may or may not agree with the characters but I appreciates how he turns the tables on moral issues. For instance, Hairpin (who is a thief) justifies stealing from the rich as simply re-balancing the equal harmony that nature once provided and was upended by the rich stealing from the poor to begin with. Later, Justine saves a man on a road...only to be betrayed and abused by him. She begs him for mercy and reminds him that she saved him. His response was basically that she saved him only to reap spiritual rewards later and she would have let him die if saving him required her to violate her religious values...so what she did was for herself...not him.

Anyway...maybe I should have commented about this in a different sub-forum.

 

nothing to do with 'pay grade'. everything to do with examples we set for each other, and how we create the kind of world we have to live in by doing so.
it also doesn't take being born with a silver spoon to learn how to read, instead of being brainwashed by faux news.
it isn't putting on airs to turn down your football game when your neighbor needs to sleep because he works odd hours.

capo positions....can someone explain this to me.....3rd or 5th frets?

 

place the capo on wherever you want it.. some times special tuning will enhance the capo use to, but I rarely change my head stock tuning..

 

It basically just tunes your guitar higher. Put it on the first fret for a half-step up, second fret for a full step, etc. Most people use them so they can play finger chords in a more suitable key for them to sing in. I don't personally use one because it feels unnatural to me to play finger chords higher on the neck. I'd rather just play the song in whatever key is appropriate.
