Thanks, appreciate the etymology. Do you believe this is common knowledge?

"mankind" has always struck me as unnecessarily exclusive. Why not "people", "humankind", etc? Such a simple substitution that honors the fact that all people are not men.

I am also a jazz musician. this scale: C# D# E F# G# A B C# is C# Aeolian. Minus the A natural, that is one collection of notes that is being strongly suggested by this app. Yes, an A# would would change the tonality, and the key. To me, I

Sure... it could be that mode (Phrygian, or the mode starting on the 3rd degree of the major scale). The tonal center we'll hear using this specific collection of notes, whether it be G#, C#, E (or any other note from this key), all de

The notes that this app is playing, from lowest to highest, are: B3 C#4 F#4 G#4 C#5 D#5 E5 G#6 B6 C#7 F#8 G#8 These notes are all diatonic, e.g. from the same key (unlike all the keys on a piano). That key is C# relative minor (or E major).

The fact that Ableton doesn't work on Linux has been the only thing keeping me with Mac hardware. I've been so resistant to Windows. But my resolve weakens with the continual erosion of the Apple ecosystem.

"more certainty in spirituality" sounds like a contradiction in terms :) Many spiritual traditions hold the primacy of Mystery and the unknown as axiomatic. Well-facilitated psychedelic-assisted therapy naturally provides a safe s

Everybody is different - for some alcoholics it will be incredibly healing in going to see a therapist or psychologist who validates their experience, lets them know that their pain from, for example, a life of abuse, is completely legitima

Great points on being raised by more adults, rites of passage, and the context in which combat PTSD occurred. I don't disagree - these were definitely (sometimes powerfully) mediating factors. And yes, it's an open question as to

This is definitely correct! Everybody is equipped differently to cope with life. The environments we grow up in make a huge difference in this. And they vary tremendously.

It's not a stupid question at all. Death nor violence does not have to be inherently traumatic. I would be very surprised if 100% of people back then had degrees of PTSD (and that's not what my comment was meant to imply). A worki

Clinical experience and research indicates that validation of the person’s felt experience is usually going to lead to more efficacious resolution of their symptoms. I.e.: “That sounds really hard! I’m sorry to hear that.” Then, just wait!
