Great sift, that sounded awesome.

Metallica's "Memory Remains" sounds completely badass with the Creative EAX male to female voice converter btw. ; )

I really wasn't a fan of Nirvana when they came out. I was heavily into metal (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, etc) and Nirvana just sounded like a boring watered down version to me.

It wasn't until much later that I realised I was looking at it from the wrong direction. Nirvana were a pop band who used heavy guitars, and that was kinda cool.

I don't believe we will ever see another band with their influence again. Mainstream music today is much more fragmented, so even if someone came along and radically altered hip-hop, for example, the influence would be felt far less in other genres.

Needs Metallica.

An incredible cover of one of my favourite songs from my all time favourite band...

ps. I think her voice is perfect. I've had some fun re-recording Tool and Metallica with a vocal shift to make the lead singer sound female, and they do actually sound awesome (Memory Remains for example).

Funny how things change. I don't think these guys were considered metal back then. They were hardcore punk, and were popular with that crowd. It wasn't till Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica and Slayer that the sound of metal changed with thrash and evolved to include sound like this.

Very nice, and the music was present too.

The opposite of this process = shop vac & Metallica </snark>

I had a 17 dollar portable boombox in the back of my 1989 mercury sable, which belted out horrible sound all the time. Luckily my tastes ranged from Tool and Metallica and Sevendust and not much else.

For Whom the bell tolls. Metallica did it well.

"Less opportunity of progress"? Only if we're having an argument with the deluded intention of convincing the other person of our specific viewpoint. (As I said in that other discussion, I'm super excited that we're going to Solve Abortion, right here on The Sift.) If we're not afraid to describe what we believe and why, then discourse is likely to strengthen our understanding of our own position, even if we discount entirely the possibility that we may gain new insight from the other parties involved.

Sure, the cognition\consciousness rabbit hole swirls right down into "metaphysical and epistemological" unknowns and becomes the equivalent of mental masturbation at that point, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable. And you certainly stated your view on Mind with the conviction of someone who feels pretty confident about it.

So if you'd rather not, ok, but I'll leave the door open, like so:

I had intended to leave my views on cognition and consciousness (and why I describe them as illusive and scarcely-understood) out of the abortion thread, but they ended up surfacing anyway. Essentially, I think the "ability of a candidate to engage with that process" is a good test, but it's only useful for the individual engaging in it. In my view, an outside observer isn't going to be able to tell with any degree of certainty, because the human brain appears to have everything it needs to behave like a conscious being even in the absence of Mind.
Picture the protagonist in the video for Metallica's "One" as an example on the other extreme (possessing of Mind but unable to communicate it).

Sleep with Metallica.

That's what SHE said.
