the world is very wrong

Most of us have realized that the world is very wrong. For us it feels wrong most everyday, things occur in the wrong way, hardly anything is as it should be. Overlooked among all the possible reasons and causes of the distortions in our interactions with our world and everyone and everything in it, are the distancing effects of digital technology.

The accretion of this further artificial layer of false correspondences on top of all the other false layers built onto the surface illusions presented by our nominal five senses, threaten to diminish our ability to act humanely. The unquestioning acceptance of intrusive and distorting binary technology has damaged our abilities to gain true knowledge of what is, hence our inability to act correctly towards each other and our planet.

We will show the very subtle, as well as the gross pervasive damages that the misapplication of these de-humanizing technologies have upon even our own views of ourselves. Recall that specialization is for insects and robots, you are not a binary device, nor is your brain a computer. Humans are greater than base two, we are massively multi-valued and complex. Machines should be adapted to human use and purposes, not humans adapted to machine use and purposes.

A: The FIGHT: Origins, Forces, Positions, Making Sense of it All

It doesn't seem possible, yet almost as soon as sound could be heard, there has been considerable conflict over "that noise". It has followed life up out of the primeval swamps all the way into the present days. Who's making it, why are they doing it, how do we make them stop and - can we make that noise? Followed by; how did they make that noise, what other noises are there, does this noise go with that noise and what are these noises good for? Followed again by, stop making those noises! As soon as the noises were organized there were further divisions as to the purpose, use, meaning and desirability of arranged noises. When these arranged noises were conceived to be music, further divisions, questions and forces joined the fray.

There are those who have always wanted to convey only beauty through music. There are also those whose vision of it is of value, hence either an article of commerce or that of healing art. There are those who sought to inspire noble passions through music and those who sought to bend others to their will.

There are those who sought freedom for their spirits while their bodies were in chains. There are those who sought to use music to recruit converts to their cause, superstition or beliefs and those whose beliefs, superstitions or cause inspired them to create music.

There are those who sought in music the liberation of all people from all things and those who sought to enslave whole nations with music. There are those who sought acclaim and fame from their mastery of the forms of music and those who have expressed only their contempt and anger for all the world and life itself through abuse of the forms of music. There are those who have explored all the forms, meanings and uses of music between the widening polarizations of extremes.

For everything under the sun, beneath the stars and almost as many in deep shadow, we have conceived a purpose in music. For music has many unique and diverse qualities, it can echo or evoke all known emotions or combinations of emotions in ways deeper than any learning or culture can imprint or call forth. It can not only inspire life, it can aid it is creation and growth. Sadly forms of it can also deny, damage and destroy life as well. Knowledge of this has created greater conflicts over who creates, who performs, who distributes, who controls music as well as to what purpose and ends, by what means and in what forms.

To glance casually around these days, one could be excused if one thought these conflicts no longer exist, as music seems to be everywhere. It seems to be available almost for free in a lot of forms and situations. You can it seems, take it with you everywhere and enjoy it anywhere. But is it still music? Has it's current forms and methods of conveyance altered it properties and abilities? Do we still have music? Does it still have worth? Is there value to it's modern forms and formats?

We could at this point assign everyone a position in a imaginary binary divide, pick the sides and say it's Us against Them. But that serves no purpose, furthers no understanding and is a too vast an oversimplification of the complexity of everything that pertains to or relates from music. Further, polarity and division are root causes of problems in perceptions of and by music and all that is entangled in it. That sort of False Duality is a trap and a delusion that separates us from one another and keeps us from realizing Unity.
