bankruptcy of 'nuum as concept

[version]

just read reynolds post on funky and I really think his 'pro-cheese' stance has now gone from useful polemical stance against tastefulness to the point of snide caricature enabling him to disingenuously generalize about stuff

i mean half of the funky mixes he refers to are cheesy as hell in terms of lyrical content/cliched sounds and mc hosting, but seems like even that isn't cheesy enough for him lol

really does seem that increasingly either musically the 'hardcore continuum' is dead (as he often seems to claim) or as a conceptual framework its totally lost all traction on musical reality

i used to read him as gospel in relation to music but he seems to have lost the plot

e.g. literally the only thing compelling and relatively fresh about 'funky' musically is its rhythm, and thats the first thing he trashes. can this guy actually dance without the aid of his long distant memory of taking E

tastefulness is good actually. you have to be tasteful even in gabber. This is one thing @... craner got right.

The problem is you are all deleuzian fools who cannot realise that one is not identical with itself.

Again one can object: but a pound of sugar is equal to itself. Neither is this true—all bodies change uninterruptedly in size, weight, colour, etc. They are never equal to themselves. A sophist will respond that a pound of sugar is equal to itself “at any given moment”.
Aside from the extremely dubious practical value of this “axiom”, it does not withstand theoretical criticism either. How should we really conceive the word “moment”? If it is an infinitesimal interval of time, then a pound of sugar is subjected during the course of that “moment” to inevitable changes. Or is the “moment” a purely mathematical abstraction, that is, a zero of time? But everything exists in time; and existence itself is an uninterrupted process of transformation; time is consequently a fundamental element of existence. Thus the axiom ‘A’ is equal to ‘A’ signifies that a thing is equal to itself if it does not change, that is, if it does not exist.
