It was amazing to watch.<BR/>Will wrote about how it is extremely difficult (virtually impossible?) to dicuss concepts from a higher level of consciousness to a lower level of consciousness and have those concepts understood. And that either a person will hear it and "get" it or they won't.<BR/>So the basic tenant of the "law" is that if a person is at not at a similar level of consciousness as another in a discussion, nothing said would ever be understood and/or integrated. This was evidenced by the fact that even the most focused, laser beam explainations went over these trolls heads as if nothing was spoken. It was as if the words were invisible to the troll. It became a complete waste of time.<BR/>Another aspect of the law was that the more accomodating people were to these trolls, the more it raised the troll ire. Sort of a "no good deed goes unpunished" paradox. Akin to the reaction of a jihadist sensing appeasement and going for the jugular. The trolls were here to teach the ignorant, not to engage in dialog. Of course many here had already been there and done that as far as the troll philosophy was concerned and said as much. That really pissed them off. <BR/>They would admit to the intelligence of the conversations but as soon as their ox was gored,(i.e. leftist cause du-jour worldview) look out.<BR/>The attitude is unmistakable when it arrives on scene.<BR/>It was around this same time that I uncased the Louisville Slugger. ;)<BR/><BR/>And as far as I can tell, the law still holds true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-45897379628076301892007-04-14T07:35:00.000-07:002007-04-14T07:35:00.000-07:00On the whole pajama-blogger deal:I hope it's what ...On the whole pajama-blogger deal:<BR/><BR/>I hope it's what you want.<BR/><BR/>That's not a judgement against or for the PJM folk, either.

(Or only works in extraordinarily restricted contexts)"<BR/><BR/>Schoenberg pulls it off by cheating. You have to really bend the rules to get his tone row to work out. It must have been difficult for Webern also. I think he only wrote about 45 minutes worth of music his entire life. These guys only serialized the notes. <BR/>Boulez serialized not only the notes, but the rythmn, the entrance of the instruments, everything in "Structures for Piano", 1951. I'm going from memory, so my date may be off.<BR/>I agree with you about theorists. Some theorists deconstruct music (Schenker) with their ideas but can't reconstruct it from their analysis. I don't think this works on a practical level. What they don't teach in school is that the analysis always follows the music, not the other way around. It is the equivalent of trying to form a sentence by thinking about the structure of a sentence instead of just speaking. <BR/>Sorry if I got to far off topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-35493333197533329562007-04-13T18:10:00.000-07:002007-04-13T18:10:00.000-07:00Dilys said:"(As anonymously as (s)he [I think it's...Dilys said:<BR/><BR/>"(As anonymously as (s)he [I think it's "he"] likes.)"<BR/><BR/>I say this anon. is a she or a guy tilting metro due to the passive aggression.
