True authenticity
After Guevara's death, Sartre would declare him to be "not only an intellectual but also the most complete human being of our age" and the "era's most perfect man." Sartre would also compliment Che Guevara by professing that "he lived his words, spoke his own actions and his story and the story of the world ran parallel."
I would like to introduce Sartre to this guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Solar_Anus
"The Solar Anus is a short Surrealist text written by the French writer and philosopher Georges Bataille, as well as the name of a performance art piece by Ron Athey.
Albeit elliptically, its aphorisms refer to decay, death, vegetation, natural disasters, impotence, frustration, ennui and excrement. It makes ironic reference to the sun, for, although it brings life to the Earth, it can also result in death due to its unrestrained energies. Moreover, the anus should be seen to be an expression of the inevitability of residual waste due to its role in excretion."

Zizek on capitalism solving its own problems
He's just always killing it. Nice animation too.
If these charities/consumer ethics simply delay the problem by giving the consumer a 'complete package,' (you can buy your new shoes WHILE purchasing away your guilt!) should we participate in them, temporarily saving a few cows/children here and there? Or should we rebel against them, by further spiraling into the morally reprehensible purchases, and showing capitalism that we are not simply consumers who can buy away our beliefs.
Or rather, is assuming that consumer behavior can advance a belief system at all just further spiraling into the grips of capitalism? We should continue purchasing as we do, playing apathetic to consumption, while seeking other means to solve the problem in the long-term (science, legality, etc).

Submit to reality
"Submit to reality, then you will truly experience freedom."
One must first submit to a reality. At first this is an obstacle, but eventually the obstacles turn into stepping stones that the will can incorporate into its possibilities. Then a realm of freedom is born. Fulfillment/happiness is a byproduct.
piano example at 59 minutes illustrates it further.
Amazing

Bass music revolution
There is a large difference between hearing/knowing about bass (in your headphones lets say) and FEELING bass. They are two completely different phenomenological experiences. This is what adults don't understand. It is purely a characteristic of the younger generation.
Music cannot only be thought of as a series of information anymore. It is an immersive bodily experience. This is our generation's rebellion against the so-called "information paradigm."
Dubstep IS the revolution.

Don't you love it when the exact thing that you want to happen...happens?
It's like lucid dreaming.

Institute of Sonology in the Netherlands
Definitely the place to be:
http://kc.koncon.nl/public_site/220/Sononieuw/UK/frameset-uk.html
In order to be perceived as functioning on several parallel levels of structure, I feel that today's electro-acoustic music should challenge our notion of causality, interactions between elements and organization of musical materials and that this is best achieved by exploring how different elements in a composition can interact and communicate.
The research examines the theoretical background of algorithmic composition, focusing in particular on the balance between automatic processes and personal editorial control. The relation to large-scale musical form as well as the possibility of connecting the structural design of a composition with the spatial aspects through an algorithmic approach to the use of Wave Field Synthesis will be explored.

female sexual suppression
Four theories about cultural suppression of female sexuality are evaluated. Data are reviewed on cross-cultural differences in power and sex ratios, reactions to the sexual revolution, direct restraining influences on adolescent and adult female sexuality, double standard patterns of sexual morality, female genital surgery, legal and religious restrictions on sex, prostitution and pornography, and sexual deception. The view that men suppress female sexuality received hardly any support and is flatly contradicted by some findings. Instead, the evidence favors the view that women have worked to stifle each other’s sexuality because sex is a limited resource that women use to negotiate with men, and scarcity gives women an advantage.
