I don’t think the disposition to evil needs a “fertile soil”. For instance, there are evil men in convents–and in quite a high degree too–that harm others in order to break the monotonicity of their life; now, would you say a convent is a “fertile soil” for growth of evil–should be the contrary. The artificial spite is a product of, as I’ve mentioned, a boring and monotonous life, and it so happens the easiest mode available to break this is harm towards others.

In case of natural malignity, the influence on the actions lies not in something mundane as boredom but other natural causes–be it from parental abuse, &c. but I concur that I’ve no scientific knowledge in this field. And, thus I believe that the ones that hold malignity through nature (in contrast with the artificial one) are able to create an environment that accomplishes, or perhaps, breaks, as I’ve said above, their disorder’s whims. And the chans happen to be a pre-existing place with like minded people that nurture each other’s “seeds”, but even in the lack of these imaginary soils, the seeds will grow without any problem.

I apologize for some of my, perhaps, outrageous connections to metaphysics.

I don’t think such sites “produce” mass murderers; they certainly contribute to the accleeration of their extremity–I don’t deny that–but no site can “produce” mass murderers, there has to be some preeminent malignity present in the person.

Why is there so much fearmongering around 4chan? Everyone that doesn’t use it seems to think of it as an anomaly; when it is nothing but a somewhat “radical” (that too only some boards) social site. Also banning & doing something along those lines to the users of 4chan is the shittiest idea of all time.

Read that as “without decreasing the size of your cock”

I really like ascension I; it was a difficult listen at first but, after a while you just want to listen to it again. It’s so coherent despite being, what might be called, random. Also, the intro is absolutely terrific! But I couldn’t really get into meditations: I guess because it is a work that deviates further from “non-free” jazz. Among his primary works, I don’t have a clear favorite; but the closest contender is blue train—I’ve heard people complain about the other musicians not being on par with coltrane on this album, what’s with that? ( I haven’t listened to many of his hard/post bop albums).

Sorry, if some of these posts seem “low effort” to you; I just want this community to be more active! (I think creating a weekly “what are you listening/recs” thread or, maybe, a jazz playing thread would be good, wdyt?)
