A dialectic of master and servant
‘In a fortnight, I created an application from A to Z that works and holds up. I'd never written a line of code before!
Vibe coding: telling the chatBot what the program should output and then use the code as a product.
The resulting code is verbose, buggy and difficult to maintain. Commisioning a work avoids understanding how the program works. It pulls your autonomy away.
You have to understand the world dialectically. People say the Nazis were cruel with their euthanasia of the disabled. And when you go to work, the same people look at you like, "Weaklings like you should have died out a long time ago."
This is not a contradiction. It's #dialectics.
Philosophy of Right by G. W. F. Hegel
Complete and unabridged, this edition of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel's 1821 classic offers a comprehensive view of the philosopher's influential system. In the Philosophy of Right, Hegel applies his most important concept — the dialectics — to law, rights, morality, the family, economics, and the state.

“We currently all live with a first-generation ‘fire-breathing dragon.’
And we face a much harder question, one that requires more than backyard biology:
How do you domesticate a group mind?”
The Yin unicorn & Yang unicorn always went dialectical. Yin is not Yang. Yin is the opposite of Yang. Yang is not Yin. Yang is the opposite of Yin. But they can not be distinct from each other, they flow into each other. They are of the same kind. Together they become something new, s.th. greater.
When Capital faced the #Hegel.ian dialectics, they were so shocked, that since then not only #Marx had by all means to be denied. Also the still capitalist Hegel were rejected a place in Valhalla. ( https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walhalla )
Why? Because #Capital assumes us to be the contrary to each other. As logical exclusions we hate each other and, the foremost important characteristics: we compete each other to death.
This peaked in the mass extermination of white men life on the battlefields of 1918 and 1945. The true catastrophe for capital was not the #holocaust, but that the whites race colonial order needed a redesign to prevent further world wars. In face of nuclear extermination a necessity.
The imperial order was replaced by a hegonomial hierarchy with the #US by all white western countries accepted head of the white world. That's why the US army has still 5 time the military than the 2nd place country.
But the united white world became rich and weak. Unfortunately, an upcoming multipolar world risks in this logic another final world war. Cause we didn't overcome the capital logic, deeply fabricated into each nation, yet.

I'm a FWO Junior Postdoctoral Fellow at #KULeuven. My interests lies in the intersection of #musictheory, #musicology and #globalhistory and I specialise especially in music around 1900. My current project attempts a global history of early #musicalmodernism, looking specifically into the cultural counterpoint between East Asia, Europe and North America. I'm also completing a book on #musicalform and #dialectics drawing on my PhD research.
I'm working on musical modernism in #Japan in the early #shōwa period at the moment and looking forward to connecting with other music scholars and cultural #histodons.
As a start, here is a concert series which I'm looking into: #NewSymphonyOrchestra (now #NHKSymphonyOrchestra ) performing in celebration of the 2600th anniversary of the founding of the Empire of Japan in 1940 (pc: jaa2100.org).
