geniuses are always idiots bro

From the Magnus Archives chapter 153:

"... Intelligence doesn’t make you less prone to taking on bad ideas, it just makes you better at defending them to other people and to yourself. Smart people can believe some truly ridiculous things, and then deploy all the reason and logic at their disposal to justify them, because a belief doesn’t begin in your mind. It begins in your feelings. Cults are very good at finding you when you’re at your lowest point, when you’re your most emotionally vulnerable. And when you’re at that point it’s astounding what can crawl into your heart and start to fester there."

Mozart taught great composer like Beethoven, Hummel, Schubert, Liszt and no one talks about it so you saying he is overated is funny cos to me he is clearly underated

You have it backwards. The Baroque classical music period (1700's) was best... Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, etc.  Beethoven was over-rated. All that overly dramatic crap.

Classical music should be soft and easy with happy melodies. Not DUM DUM DUMMMMMM! Mr. Dramatic Beethoven.

I like Beethovan, but you make a good point.  Beethovan would be popular with the drama crowd.

Don't know how this turned into a classical music discussion, but while we're on the subject... 

Many geniuses and former world leaders loved the composer Richard Wagner... Hawking, Einstein, even Hitler.

So I thought - I like classical music, I'll give it a try.  Talk about self-indulgent - the vast majority of his compositions are painfully slow with virtually no melodies. Maybe I'm just not smert enough, but I don't get it.

I was raised by an aunt and uncle(older people).  So i grew up on classical music, big band music, swing music, and the music of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and the like.  So i was always around it.  I much prefer that music to any modern music with the exception of modern Christian music. 

modern christian like christian hip hop? u like guys like 1kphew and lecrae and aaron cole?
