  1. I think this Iron Maiden's last great album. Great version: nice and loud and clear!
  2. What a great sounding version of this album! Nice and loud and clear. I like the end of 'Lord Of This World'.
  3. That root, flat 5 riff on "Symptom of the Universe" is so awesome. It's a tritone interval. It sounds great as a riff. I played it as a chord and it didn't sounds as good. But as a riff it sounds great.
  4. It would be incomplete to leave Stoicism out of the great schools of Western Philosophy. You can see how Stoicism seems kinda influenced by Taoism and Chinese Philosophy, but the Pantheism seems to be influenced by Indian Philosophy. Stoicism seems to be an integration of Western, Indian, and Chinese Philosophy. This is probably the best intro to Stoicism video I've been exposed to. Logos is one of those words that changes a lot depending on the philosopher. Here is a good account of the term Logos from ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/share/caf9a8a8-245e-41fd-801b-57b0dd7fbf52
  5. Nice remaster! One of my favorite albums. I love Pete Way's bass playing (including bass lines and bass tone) on this album. Andy Parker is a great drummer too, technical and compact at the same time -- minimalistic without being too minimalistic. 'Queen of the Deep' is an amazing song. Phil Mogg – lead and backing vocals Michael Schenker – rhythm and lead guitar Pete Way – bass guitar Andy Parker – drums, percussion
  6. Hard choice between incompetent on the one hand and unprincipled on the other. It's a nightmarish choice.
  7. This is another great standalone Intro to Western Philosophy video -- with emphasis on the transition between Medieval and Modern Western Philosophy. ('Scholastics' is a term that signifies European Medieval Philosophers/Christian Theologians with a kind of Rationalistic bent.)
  8. Released in 1972. One of my favorite albums. Nice and loud too! I like how this album is Hard Rock with just a touch of Progressive Rock. This version almost sounds like a remaster. One vinyl to boot!
  9. Great intro to Islamic Philosophy in Medieval Western Philosophy: Medieval Western Philosophy is all about integrating Theos (God) and Logos (Knowledge) = Theology. Islamic Philosophy is an important area of Medieval Western Philosophy. Muhammad (570 - 632 A.D.) Al-Kindi (c. 801 - 873 A.D.) Al-Farabi (c. 872 - 950 A.D.) Ibn Sina (Avicenna) (980 - 1037 A.D.) Al-Ghazali (1058 - 1111 A.D.) Ibn Rushd (Averroes) (1126 - 1198 A.D.)
  10. This is one of the best Medieval Western Philosophy videos that I've seen (more accurately heard). Augustine (c. 354-430 A.D.) The idea that (1) Philosophy and (2) Religion/Spirituality are divorced in Western Philosophy is an ignorant myth.
  11. "It has been said that when the mind is divested of ideation by virtue of the realisation of the Truth that is Brahman, and when there is an absence of external objects of perception, it becomes tranquil, controlled, and withdrawn like fire that has no fuel. And it has been further said that when the mind thus ceases to be the mind, duality also disappears." -- Adi Shankara, Commentary on Gaudapada Karika
