RE: Three Tune Tuesday #154

in Music • 6 months ago

I know you are a huge Radiohead fan. I really like the first tune the most. The first two videos are very thought provoking and the first video reminds me of speaking out against group think will get you ostrisized. Like being burned at the stake for saying something herectic against the authoritative groupspeak.

Most of all though, both videos get me thinking about the human consciousness and how it can be such a way and what is this place where we are with so much suffering and cruelty as par for the course. Perhaps Buddhism answers it best, without darkness, there cannot be light.
What are your thoughts about the first video? Especially living in what would be considered a more authoritarian regime than most? Reading War and Peace at the moment, I am trying to gauge life in Russia/Prussia pre WW1.

        On the first video: someone with 'papers', official authority clerk came for inspection to a small self-governing settlement. This is definitely a check, apparently from higher-ranking structures. A man with a chain - obviously the mayor - takes him around the town to show they are following all the directives (i.e. combat with wrong citizens): witches are examined to see if they drown or not, rituals are carried out with piercing swords (instead of testing needles), someone is locked alive in a house with a cross on the door, etc etc - all these are references to obscurantist medieval practices. I didn’t understand some of the references (picking tomatoes?..) In the end of the video the townspeople (prepared in advance for the inspection) burn this examiner. And the very coda, the punch of it (as I wrote in the post) - the burned man is shown alive... this piece of shit turns out can not be burned in fire! - and most likely he won’t drown in the water either. That's what I see in this video... it's about the opposition of folks to the monster of the state - Big Brother.

              That makes sense! It is really all about centralised power structures. I didn't catch the end that he couldn't be burnt alive! I'm surprised they made such an open video for a popular band like this.. lol

                    Thats quite a separate question. If you'd like to talk that out... I'll be waiting your review of said book then xD

                          At around 1000 pages and very small typescript, it can take some time! Haha
