The beautiful thing about the ending verse is fact that Cohen is coming to terms with both the broken and holy hallelujah. Love is an agathocacological (sorry --trying to get that word back in the lexicon) endeavor that brings out beauty and malice in equal parts. Sometimes all you can do is just accept the defeat/victory.

Here's the original version.

Actually, in some places, "mono" can refer to a human figure. Fifth definition.

What is a bit of a mistranslation is the "A promise is forever". It should be, "What is promised, is owed".

Dave Cullen's book Columbine is a fascinating read/analysis and goes into a litte more detail on this.

Basically Harris was the psychopath/leader and Klebold was the manic depressive/follower, not that that excuses his actions.

It takes guts to speak up as she has. Harris' parents have never spoken publicly about Columbine.

The first glacier in Iceland to melt due to human-induced climate change will be memorialized during a ceremony on Aug. 18.

Heads up, if you're using the Hoverzoom extension you should stop since it apparently loads malware scripts onto your computer. Imagus is a similair app by the original hoverzoom developer that works great and isn't malware.

Hitler's Children is a pretty interesting documentary on Netflix that features Rainer. His father spent a good part of his childhood living in a house just outside the camp. Rainer comes for a few generations of horrible parents so it's very moving for he and Eva to be close.

His view of what constitutes violence is confined to the generally-agreed-upon definition of the word "violence". Note that a primary component of the meaning of the word is intention.

Driving to work to be able to provide food for your children has the intention of fostering life. Contributing to degradation of environmental services by adding CO2 to the atmosphere may well cause deaths in the long run.

If you use the word "violence" to describe both driving to work, and murdering a child in front of their mother, then I would say you have adopted a definition that is both at odds with the general understanding of the public, and also one that is so broad as to be useless.

Have I changed your mind?

I have a theory that mental illness is just like physical mutation in genetics, in that it is a way in which new forms of problem solving can be generated. If, in fact this penguin had found a new sea on his adventure that would be for the greater good of the rest.

btw you can find a lot of Werner Herzog films legally for free at Shout Factory

I was just about to link it!. Also if anyone can you should buy it. It is $1 but it will help Trippe.

Yup Kanye did sample it! He has an ear for great samples, that's for sure.

A really good TED talk on classical Music

Have to say, there's something amazing about ASMR/frisson when someone is saying something your gut is telling you is true. It's a bit like the feeling on one's lips when humming in perfect harmony.

>And it's disturbing that the corruption of compassion through self promotion is okay ethically speaking. That means that we are not meant to genuinely have empathy.

your conclusion isn't even close to being logically sound. how could that mean we are not meant to have empathy, just because we get rewarded from it? the reason we have empathy in the first place is because it's a trait that's been selected for over generations, because it is rewarded when animals live in communities

there is [virtually] no such thing as a perfectly selfless act. if you're helping someone else, you're likely going to feel some happiness from doing it. some people want to magnify that feeling or encourage others to do the same, and so they document it. you might see it as an investment, but many others do not, and honestly, your reaction is basically a detriment to society. is it better to not do a good deed than to do one and document it? that's bullshit, but you wouldn't be saying someone had 'sociopathic ethics' just because they didn't do a good deed.

also, many studies have shown that seeing a good deed encourages others to partake in altruistic behavior one source

I understand that this is a bit morbid and might not be a good fit. The truck is an SVBIED used to destroy an Iraqi government outpost. ISIS uses cover fire, armor, and mortars to prevent enemy forces from destroying the vehicle before it reaches its target.

Full album, including suicide bomber selection, the truck up close, and the destroyed compound:

I came across this story years ago when I first read, Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman. It hit me hard. I had a similar loss, and it informed my understanding of Feynman's later years when he was portrayed as a callous womanizer. Seemed that he knew he'd never again love that strongly. He kept that sacred and walled off any intimacy, but continued to indulge his carnal side without restriction. I went through a similar phase for several years, but mercifully I met an amazing and understanding woman who put up with my nonsense long enough to allow me to realize that even after the crushing depths of grief and misery, there can be redemption on the other side. You should have left me many times, but you showed me what true character is all about. Thank you, my love.

I've always preferred the fat-free version from the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, Your Hand in Mine (Goodbye), although the original is great, too. It helps that my wife walked down the aisle to the short version.

Little Dipper off the same album was always a big "frisson" song for me. Haven't listened to them in so long, just put it on and totally got it all over again.

This is actually Árstíðir, and they are currently running a kickstarter to fund their next album. They've met their goal, but they are still taking donations and have bigger goals in mind. If you wanna send em a buck or two, here ya go.

I also like the original video when it comes to Hoppipola:

My favorite Sigur Ros video is however the fan edition (that label doesn't really do it justice) for Valtari by Christian Larson:

There's a movie called Valhalla on Netflix by the same guys that's worth checking out too. It's sorta like a ski movie with a little bit of story thrown in and it's pretty rad. Link :https://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70300462?trkid=200250783

Here's a link to the text of two of the bits that he performed (but I strongly suggest you listen to it, as his delivery really makes it):

• Here Am I
• Shake the Dust

If you want to read more writing like this, I can't recommend Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass highly enough. It's an easy read, not too long, and shares the eloquence of this letter. Douglass wrote it specifically to educate people about the details of life during slavery.

Actually, I have a hard copy. I'd love to mail it to you If you're really interested. It's a book that everyone should read.

Love it, though it's clearly inspired by (borderline ripped off from) some famous song that I've heard a hundred times before. I'd love to know what the original is.

Also, a quick google search yielded this version of the song I like a bit better: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/342274

Slightly off topic but Hotline Miami has great music for a video game, some of the best I've ever heard. If you are into old school style top down indie video games this one is great. Here's the whole soundtrack.

When I seen this post earlier, it was ironic? because I went to bed last night after this episode. Here it is... Just the song... https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=scrubs+hey+ya&FORM=VIRE4#view=detail&mid=8B3170BFCED9D774C8798B3170BFCED9D774C879

The scene when the POWs all look out the train window reminds me of a pretty powerful passage in Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning (p. 36 on my kindle edition): >As the inner life of the prisoner tended to become more intense, he also experienced the beauty of art and nature as never before. Under their influence he sometimes even forgot his own frightful circumstances. If someone had seen our faces on the journey from Aushwitz to a Bavarian camp as we beheld the mountains of Salzburg with their summits glowing in the sunset, through the little barred windows of the prison carriage, he would never have believed that those were the faces of men who had given up all hope of life and liberty. Despite that factor--or maybe because of it--we were carried away by nature's beauty, which we had missed for so long.

EDIT: Formatting

I'm not yet convinced there is a universal meaning to life that applies to everyone. It may be that meaning is a subjective experience. Read the book by Victor E. Frankl called Man's Search for Meaning; it gave me an interesting perspective but also does necessarily discredit the idea of a universal meaning.

In the concert version of Roger Waters "The Wall" tour he went on a few years ago he actually duets this video with himself. It's a pretty intense moment. It really is a fantastic movie, if you love Pink Floyd and want to know more about Water's movtivations behind his music I strongly suggest checking it out.

Definitely one of my favorites. This being my preferred recording.

My step-dad was a serious audiophile and Mahler aficionado. He had a really impressive stereo. One afternoon, I was using using Symphony #2 to show off his system to a couple buddies, and on the first crescendo of the first movement (which is one of the great moments in all of classical music), we blew the fuses out of his speakers. He was at work, so we scrambled to Radio Shack and replaced them before he got home. The next morning, the new fuses were sitting on my desk, and he'd clearly replaced them with some others, more to preference.

He never said anything, and I still have no idea how he knew.
