Trance, techno, hard house, hard dance and rave

All very different, but amazing to listen to.

Techno is more rapid and fast, but uses electronics well. laughed at for the 90s hysteria of crap pop music.
DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH POP.

Trance is more musical and slower, which makes it very classical.

hard house is probably the greatest of them all, with fast tempo, great sounds and amazing climaxes.

Hard Dance is so much faster than all of the above, making it harder for beginners to the genre.

Rave, the dying genre, can range from slow, relaxing music to fast bumping sounds. some would say it relies too much on repitition.

Its best to start from this order to really enjoy the music, otherwise youll think youve wasted a good 15 quid on a CD, while hardcore fans will relish such a CD.

You dont have to take drugs, you dont have to be a hard-nut, you dont have to go about wearing massive trousers, you just want to listen to the music, and have a good time.
Its music, thats all. And why do people slag fans of these genres for listening to it? Are they really that shallow?

Enjoy. All people welcome.

Hard Problem of Rationality

The paradox that the tool we use to evaluate truth—rationality—cannot be justified using purely rational means without circular reasoning. Why should we be rational? Because it's effective? That's a pragmatic, not rational, argument. Rationality rests on axioms (like "the world is consistent") that must be assumed, not proven. The hard problem is that rationality is the judge, jury, and executioner of thought, but it can't put itself on trial without presupposing its own validity.
Example: "He tried to use pure rationality to convince his friend to be rational. 'You should value logic because... it's logical?' He hit the hard problem of rationality: the foundation of reason isn't a brick; it's a turtle floating in mid-air, and asking 'why?' just makes it fall."

Hard Problem of Reason

Closely tied to rationality, but focused on the faculty itself. How can reason, a product of blind evolutionary processes that selected for survival, not truth, be trusted to uncover objective truths about reality? Our brains were shaped to find patterns, avoid predators, and secure mates—not to solve metaphysics. The hard problem is whether reason is a cracked lens that happensto work in our middle-world, or a genuine pipeline to capital-T Truth.
*Example: "Our reason tells us quantum mechanics is true, even though it's utterly unreasonable. The hard problem of reason is wondering if our minds, built to throw spears and spot lions, have any business trusting their conclusions about non-local hidden variables or 11-dimensional strings."*

Hard Problem of Reincarnation

The challenge of reconciling the concept of a persistent, individual consciousness or soul that transfers between physical bodies with the lack of a known physical mechanism for such transfer, and the total amnesia that accompanies it. If you don't remember being Cleopatra, in what meaningful sense were you you? The "you" that reincarnates seems to be a stripped-down, anonymous kernel of being—a metaphysical thumb drive with its data wiped, raising the question of what, if anything, makes it the same entity.
Example: "The guru said I was a scribe in Atlantis. The hard problem of reincarnation is this: without my memories, desires, or personality, that scribe and I share only the abstract concept of 'consciousness substrate.' It's like saying a formatted hard drive in a new laptop is the 'reincarnation' of an old one. Technically maybe, but functionally, who cares?"
