  1. This analogy is off though. Here:

     

    Joe tried making his own muffins and tweaked his recipe for a few months. Joe then baked some muffins and compared them to those from warehouses A, B, and C. Joe was thinking about not releasing his muffins because he thought they were only "mildly good", 2/5. However Fred, another muffin critic, tasted Joe's muffins and really loved them. Fred rated them as 4/5 and convinced Joe to commence mass production. Joe agreed because, after all, there's no reason he should have to produce the greatest muffins on the planet before he released them.

     

    Joe decided that his muffins were only a 2/5 compared with the others because he applied an "objective" or consistent rating system to them, the one that he always used to rate muffins with before he started making them himself. Should he rate his muffins on muffinratings.com as 2/5 or 5/5? The latter may help his sales. Should he apply his subjective muffin rating system "objectively", or should he be biased towards certain muffins (ie. his own) and rate them via different standards (ie. who made them, rather than what they taste like)?

     

    My use of the term "objective" is perfectly valid here and I'm in no way suggesting there's an absolute muffin rating system of the universe, merely that there is an absolute muffin rating system used by Joe.

     

    I hope you can understand this now that we've reduced the scenario to language comprehensible by an eight year old.

    what an open mind you have, fantastic how you deem your personal unfounded subjective opinion superior to an 'objective' reality. too much buddha-scriptures will do that to you.
  2. Learn the subtleties of english language then maybe you won't take my posts out of context.

    john likes cupcakes. john rates cupcakes from warehouse A 4 stars, cupcakes from warehouse B 3 stars & cupcakes from warehouse C 5 stars. john then gathers alot of recipes for cupcakes & tries them out. out of all these recipes he keeps only his favourites, ofcourse only the ones he rates 5 stars he will share with his friends since he has plenty & sees no need to share the other ones.

    frank likes cupcakes. frank rates cupcakes from warehouse A 3 stars, cupcakes from warehouse B 4 stars & cupcakes from warehouse C 3 stars. frank tries out john's cupcake recipes & gives them 3 stars aswell. frank does not understand why john would rate these cupcakes 5 stars & says john should be a bit more consistent in his cupcake-rating 'coz despite taste being fully subjective, you need to be "objective" in your ratings. frank says that eventhough john offered only his favourite cupcakes he is not allowed to call them his favourite 5star cupcakes.

  3. It is possible to be "objective" about it

    our music standards remain subjective and personal.

    nice one, are you trying to convince us that objectivity & subjectivity are one & the same? that eventhough our standards are purely subjective we must still be "objective" about them? :lol: it's music man, it's personal. "objectivity" does not exist.

  5. That's a very poetic line, but what they're doing is pulling in pop-addicted teenagers with their guitars and vocals, and slammin a bassline over it to try to "satisfy" the oldskool psy-fans. But it's only working for the pop infected teenagers.

     

    Psy is being taken over by other genres, there's hardly any quality psy releases anyway.

     

     

    That's pretty much very good arguments.

    but for most sakes i believe that this is a good development.

    This means that "if" this scenario gets more widespread (a qustion of time) this will mean that were gonna get much more music.

    and that artists can sell more albums, meaning that quality music can be found.

     

    Problem is that i see an ill development towards skazi music, this means that skazi will be richer and poop out more albums...

    this will make me sad, and problably make 70% of the psynewseers commit mass-suicide by 2012
