This isn't a request as such... well it is...
But perhaps the media executive at R2R could next time add some clarity to their messaging as your target audience (I won't refer to us as customers) haven't got a scooby whether
a) we are in a teaser phase or
b) the gong sounded with the release of Reason or
c) the gong happens at the end to signal R2R have left the building.

Clarity!

 

Im on facebook to join all those groups and see what's going on only. Apparently older people just discovered facebook and being super active in there. These people are previous generation of all those super talented engineer, technician, collectors and all sort of stuff that interest me, so yeah I learn a lot of new things by joining them old people that doesn't even know how to type properly or use facebook function the right way but when it comes to their specific sets of skills or knowledge, GRAND MASTER!

I also hangout with older people (20-30 years age gap) in real life, got a news a friend died because of covid and not even a funeral ceremony is allowed here. May his soul rest in peace.

 

Many students in America have to finance their studies themselves. That means they have debts, I'm leaving $ 30,000 and they have to pay them off. So they take on a job and fit in seamlessly with the system. If you then take out a loan for a house and a car, you are trapped in the system and cannot get out of it. The aggressive market radicalism exploits the workforce to the maximum. A Microsoft programmer had a burnout that occurs when one is permanently overloaded. The programmer sat in his beautiful expensive house and realized that he had gone the wrong way. It took years before he was healthy again.

 

A.
Great Stevie, you are intelligent and use your brain and modern digital devices. Nice that you get to know how you use Facebook to advantage and what's going on there. Your willingness to listen and learn also makes you an intelligent person.
B.
The nice thing about the World Wide Web is that you can get information for free and get to know people from near and far. I downloaded a lot of videos about topics that interested me and I really learned something about them. The brain is happy that it is challenged and constantly creates new synapses.
C.
Highly developed intelligence implies the ability to quickly receive, supplement and forward new signals.

Spoiler: The basic laws of the dynamics of stupidity

The basic laws of the dynamics of stupidity

by Robert Anton Wilson appeared in Sphinx magazine, issue 8 in March 1980

1. Stupidity is partly innate, partly acquired.

2. The genetic part of stupidity is, as Kinsey would say, "typical of mammalian behavior". This is due to the fact that the human nervous system is largely based on self-regulation. The latter also applies to the not unrelated system of the chimpanzee or the cow, which is less close to us. Programs such as territorial relations, gang hierarchy, etc. are strategies that withstand any evolution and therefore function mechanically, ie without conscious thinking. These successes acclaimed for every evolutiontransform into so-called genetic programs because they normally do not oppose the interests of the common mammal. They are only recognized as stupidity when the human nervous system has been further developed into a surveillance system that knows how to feed back more sophisticated survival techniques and replaces the aforementioned stereotypical programs with more flexible data. In other words, as long as a person uses the genetic templates of the primate gang without using the higher centers of his nervous system, he acts like a monkey. He has not yet learned to use newer parts of the brain.

3. The acquired part of stupidity is the result of so-called. Turalisierung Akul- . In this process, the flexible, multi-layered human nervous system is brainwashed until it gives up its flexibility and adopts - or rather imitates - the stereotypical behavior, principles, values, etc. of the tribe into which it was born.

4. Primates only change their behavior under the pressure of a new technology. A pack of chimpanzees robotically repeats the same behavior for a thousand years or more; if someone teaches them how to get food with sticks or uses simple sign language, they change their behavior in an instant under the shock of this new technology. Even human societies (e.g. China or Byzantium) can remain in a static and repetitive state for long periods of time before a new technology triggers new behavior.

5. Domesticated primates (humans) have changed more over the past hundred years than in any other period in history due to the ACCELERATED ACCELERATION of new technologies. The Wright brothers, Edison, Ford, etc. have sparked broader behavioral changes than any political revolutions - both left and right of this century.

6. From points 3, 4 and 5 it can be concluded that the behavior of primates can be changed most quickly by introducing new techniques. Technology is therefore the strongest medicine against stupidity or at least a means to alleviate it.

7. Genetically determined behavior changes faster than the acquired behavior with the introduction of new techniques. The latter due to the fact that the genetic code contains the phenomenon that Lorenz describes as holes and others as vulnerable places , in the area of which new imprints ( networks of new neurogenic circuits) can be placed. Shock and confusion, two by-products of new technologies, are among the triggering forces. For more information on the relationship between shock and the formation of new imprints, see Timothy Leary's Exo-Psychology . Information on the influence of confusion can be found in Paul Watzlawik's workHow real is the reality ?

8. Highly developed intelligence implies the ability to quickly receive, supplement and relay new signals. (This is a consequence of Wiener's cybernetics , in particular his classic definition, "living actively and meaningfully means living with adequate information." See also Shanon's Mathematical Theory of Communication .)

9. Stupidity is a blocking of the ability to quickly pick up, add to, and transmit new signals. If genetic programming is not corrected by new imprints , it can cause such a blindness to signals: The genetically determined behavior takes place mechanically, unconsciously and without correction through the fine feedback circuits of the higher nervous system. Aculturalization (i.e. the adaptation of the tribe- dependent concept of reality to reality ) can also lead to signal blindness: signals that are incompatible with the myths of the tribe are suppressed, ignored and covered with projections and distortions until they have adapted or simplyto be forgotten . The latter usually happens very quickly.

10. Domesticated and wild primates want to be led by an alpha-type male. The more this leader resembles the original archetype - that is, the meanest baboon in the herd - the more eagerly the other primates follow it. (This also explains the otherwise incomprehensible gain in power of decidedly subhuman types such as Mussolini, Nixon, Hitler, Stalin etc. The logic of the primates is: "If he is soooo bad, he will do away with our competitors.")

11. When they find an alpha male guide, the domesticated primates look for a scapegoat to blame for their troubles. (This is because solving problems requires intelligence, which is still found in smaller quantities on this planet than stupidity. Domesticated primates are by no means optimistic about the solution of their problems; the latter seems to them in their confused, between mammalian reflexes and objective Consciousness of being a rather hopeless endeavor. It is easier for the fool to find someone who can be held responsible for their own problems.)

12. The alpha male's primary role in a horde of domesticated primates is to find, denounce, and prosecute internal and external scapegoats of this species.

13. For the wild primate as well as for the other mammals, emotions function as distress signals that mobilize energy in the event of threatening situations, ie territorial or hierarchical challenges.

14. Domesticated primates place emotions at the service of the two functions mentioned above. In connection with the new brain and its -symbolize the skills but also practice the emotions a new activity: a) ward off boredom, and b) serve the status or power enjoyment.

15. Wild primates, like all other mammals, cannot defend themselves against boredom. If nothing exciting is going on, they just go to sleep. (Again, this is a strategy that can withstand any evolution, as it helps avoid difficulties - you run less risk of getting into the clutches of a looter, or you hardly stick your nose and paws in a beehive, etc.) Domesticated primates learn because of the imitation of parental behavior - a process that has been found among hominids for centuries - how existential boredom of this kind can be warded off by means of feelings.

16. The only alternative to avoiding boredom within a complex primate life as humanity is, is to increase one's own consciousness and intelligence. Since this does not suit the average primate, he / she instead invents emotional games ( soap opera style) to relieve tension from life. The writings of Eric Berne and the Transactional Analyst are largely concerned with cataloging emotional games of this type.

17. In domesticated primates, emotions are also related to prestige and power. The most emotionally effective person in a room dominates the rest of the crowd: they all have to respond in one way or another to the emotions or give up and leave the room.

18. Nearly all children begin to adopt some of these stereotypical emotional games from their parents around the age of two. They experiment with these tactics of power until they learn how to use emotional blackmail to score points (ie, symbolic victories).

19. Very few children ever learn the technique of rational problem solving from their parents, teachers, etc.
20. From points 18 and 19 it can be concluded that most of the inhabitants of this primitive planet try to solve their problems symbolically - that is, with the help of emotional games - and that very few know how difficulties of this kind can be solved rationally.

21. Stupidity - partly innate, partly acquired through aculturalization or the result of constantly imitating status-related behavioral games - is extremely contagious. In any situation, the stupidest grouping drags everyone else down to their level. Trying to negotiate with an emotionally programmed person is frustrating because it is of no use: the only way to get to these people is to counter their emotional game with strong counterplay.

22. Since the behavior of primates can be changed by means of new technologies, the only measure against the stupidity of the human species is a technology which immediately and permanently brings about an increase in intelligence.

23. An intelligence expanding technique of this type must be hedonistic; it must bring joy to those who use it, otherwise it will not be widely used quickly.

24. Once such a hedonistic technique is found, the rulers of society will attempt to suppress them as a threat to stability . The researchers involved in the invention are thrown into jail or intimidated; Representatives of this new technology are persecuted more severely than murderers or thieves; the invention itself is presented through all the mass media as a terrible, dangerous proposition.

25. Before the existence of a hedonistic intelligence multiplier is irrevocably proven, certain things can be done to counteract the stupidity, at least in a modest way.

26. BIO-SURVIVAL STUPIDITY is mostly shaped immediately after birth and is caused by traumatic fear (which is due to our primitive educational methods). This fear begins to take on chronic forms that are epidemic in our society: in 1968, a study by the US Department of Health showed that eighty-five percent of the population had symptoms of chronic anxiety: palpitations, nightmares, dizziness, etc. It is usually accompanied by some form of chronic depression . In extreme cases, autism or catatonia occurs; biopsychic or cellular decisionsthat the rest of the people around you are too nasty to be associated with. There is also paranoia, that subtle way of tracking down enemies, especially among one's own friends.

27. Bio-survival stupidity exerts such a great stress on the organism and causes such an alienation from other people that it also has a dumbing effect on all other neutral circuits. In this way, the development of a high intelligence level is al-ler circuits prevented.

28. The bio-survival stupidity can be alleviated with the help of various martial arts (Akido, Karate, Kung Fu, etc.), through Asana, the yoga technique in which one lingers in the same posture for a long time every day, or through psychotherapy. Achieving sensational results requires a much longer treatment time with asana and psychotherapy than therapy with martial arts.

29. EMOTIONAL STUPIDITY is shaped when the toddler begins to learn about family politics - the mammals' hierarchically determined games. Typically, the victim encounters all interpersonal problem situations with the same stereotypical game of emotions (bad temper, depression, hangover, suicide threats, etc.). Any of these robotic reactions are found in approximately ninety-nine percent of the general population.
30. Emotional stupidity can be alleviated using pranayama, the yoga breathing technique. The same effect shows Gurdjieff's technique of the inner observer , the entity that controls the emotional reflexes, or CONSCIOUSLY - and not MECHANICALLY - puts them into action. Pranayama produces quicker results; however, the Gurjieff technique produces deeper, longer lasting results.

31. SEMANTIC STUPIDITY is shaped when the growing child begins to deal with words and concepts of thought (abstract artifacts that were produced by higher brain centers from the moment when humans separated themselves from the other primates). The most penetrating form of semantic stupidity consists in confusing local - tribal - truths with universal reality. Dogmatism, rigid ideologies and bizarre concepts of reality are also spreading. Blindness to symbols - from illiteracy to mathematical or artistic ignorance - are also widespread and are often found among those people who are extremely skilled at handling a narrow range of symbols: the painter who does not know how to solve a quadratic equation, the scientist who does not want to or cannot read a poem, etc.

it is for this reason that I live in a forest house, there is a boiler in my house and I don’t even pay for hot water.
in fact, at the moment for me money is toilet paper.
This does not mean that I wipe with them when I poop ....
Money is good, (like the title of the song) ... it's good when you own the money ... not money owns you.
So I choose the stupidest path economically, to be smarter than a bunch of smart peoples doing stupid things ... Someone did not teach me this, but I would be glad if I knew it as a child.

*Perhaps this is also one of the reasons for the existence of the R2R Team*

* just thoughts out loud *

 

Money is a religion.

Cree Indian Prophecy
“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught,
and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.”

 

I actually quite like sample packs -- and I listen to trap. But I think there's a kind of low-energy hip-hop producer who, on not finding success in their chosen genre, reverts to making sample packs -- and they seem to produce them by the shedload. And so when they appear on the sister site, they don't just appear a couple at a time, you get twenty or thirty of them.

I'm so not interested in them, I've never checked whether they get downloaded. I'm sure some of them must. (OK, I just checked. They seem to get between three and five thanks per sample pack. So they're obviously useful to someone.)

Mac users: here's something YOU can use. BLVCKOUT Summer Baddies 2 will definitely work on your machines. Never let it be said that nobody shows you any love because DISCOVER has been uploading stuff you can use all day long.

 

Plug-in Boutique day it would seem!

 

Seedin' is feedin but leachin is bitchen!

waiting for big releases

 

patience my guy, R2R dont own us anything

 

Evidently I was getting a little excited when I saw the first couple

 

When does the gong make noise? At the moment it's more of a mixture of mezzopiano and mezzoforte ^^ I had expected more of a martellato followed by decrescendo. hehe^^'

 

R2R is still releasing great products. But personally I have not installed any of this new wave, or anyway I have uninstalled all the products of R2R post 10k. Everything I need has been released before and most of all the new iLok releases of RET were just awesome. But super happy with the return of R2R, always nice to see them so active and generous.

 

We need some amp sim releases

 

katze-1 waiting for release ...

 

Tom (katze) is a weird looking harddrive

 

I'm probably too metaphorical.
I wanted to say that not only you are waiting,
The cat is waiting for the holy night to get to you as soon as possible. he is very tired, take care of him

 

Strangely, almost all new topics end in humor and joke.
