Hey /lit/, what do you think is the most stupendous human creation? There are plenty of masterful individual works out there, be they texts or music or even inventions like the steam engine or nuclear weapons, but what single creation or idea do you think best represents human excellence?

Thanks? You should listen to it, if you haven't. Explains why you would think it's humanity's greatest achievement.
>>7441314
The music is great. That fat lisper is trying to appropriate Beethoven for his own views.
>>7441321
OK. Don't listen to it. Have a nice day. :)

I did listen to it. He's wrong.

Woman
>>7441336
i go back and forth on this one.
i can't decide whether woman or man holds the primacy of experience
men are involved in so much of the happening of the world, we make civilizations for the most part
but women seem to be on the receiving end of the work of men and they even get to be closer to the reproductive process.
i've settled that it's neither:
god is the primary consciousness of the universe.
we are ultimately third-persons.

>dat analysis..
Or he could simply listen to what the lyrics are about. It's about how joy is stronger than any form of reservation or conformity and policy. That easily includes ideology.
I really find this man and his opinions are really overrated. I think he simply sells himself pretty good, knows how the market works.
>>7442839
Except that he mentions that the lyrics are changed when played in front of different audiences.
What he says makes sense you fucking idiot.
>>7442870
>implying that changes the music and how Beethoven wrote it.
I was clearly referring to the part where he analyses Beethoven's intentions which is what he eventually goes for in the clip with all his cleverness. So fuck off you piece of shit.
>>7442894
When does he ever do that?
>>7442894
He never talks about Beethoven's intentions.
He explains what Beethoven's song ultimately does and what it now stands for, but he never comes out and says "Beethoven really meant this when he made Ode to Joy".
Try paying attention to what he's saying next time.

Whatever it is, it certainly has nothing to do with art. I'd say Newtonian mechanics and calculus.

Clothes man. Ever spend some time naked, outside. It's cold out there man, real cold. I don't really know, I'm just spit ballin' here. I like to look at it from an exploratory one of view, Voyager is the furthest thing we've flung from us. So, maybe Voyager. Of course this is /lit/ and anyone could argue that it doesn't matter at all. Then again I'm just visiting from /k/.
