Episode 2: Facing Translation

The concept of music is a definition, a fiat, sheer dogma. This means that the "music mindset" is in denial.

The Redefiners have tried to redefine music in order to make it connect with reality, but this does not work. Redefining a definition does not change it: it's still a definition. IOW, denying the denial does not help.

Giving up the music concept means giving up fantasy (denial) and facing translation.

"Music" is the same in every language. There's only variation in spelling.

But "playing" or "sound" (etc) need to be translated.

"Music" is a word in denial. It creates a false fantasy structure.

"Playing", "sound", and other descriptive concepts are not in denial - they are vulnerable to translation.
