In the post the author explains how to build a simple yet effective drumâbased sequence in LMMS by first laying out a basic Beat+BassLine pattern at 140âŻbpm, then duplicating it with a slight variation on every second beat to create rhythmic interest. He shows that lowâpitched drums (bass) are less frequent than highâpitched ones (cymbals), and demonstrates how adding just one extra hit in the duplicate section turns a simple drum loop into a melodic line. After covering bass and midâfrequency layers, he adds highâfrequency clicks or sticks to break repetition, then finishes by applying reverb from the FX mixer to give the whole arrangement depth and polish. The result is a short âfull songâ example that illustrates pattern creation, variation, layering, and basic mixing techniques in LMMS.

In the post the author argues that by eighth grade we should already be able to program, paint, compose music and write poetry, and that these skills can be learned quickly with free tools like LMMS for music composition or p5.js for math projects. He criticises teachers who only want their students to memorize exam material rather than truly learn, citing his own experience of a music teacher who was unfair and unhelpful. The writer proposes that real learning comes from independent tutors, audiobooks, video lectures and handsâon adventures, and stresses that mastering tools like LMMS or p5.js is the key to understanding music and math in practice rather than theory.

I narrate a nighttime journey from Nordhouse to Ludington, pausing at a supermarket to nap before charting my day with a trusty map. The lake townâs open horizon sparks dreams that wake me to the simple pleasures of iceâcream and sustenance, after which I feel ready for the final stretch of my quest. While stopping in a parking lot and leaning on a tall bench, I observe two older tourists gathering bark; one spots poison ivy, prompting a playful exchange before they âmake chicken noisesâ and pray. After refilling water from my car and returning to the bench, I prepare for a drive toward a nearby camping area, where one of the ladies smiles in her camper, complimenting my style.

The post is a poetic reflection on how personal âstarsâ â curiosities that give life meaning â attract each other in a constellation of learning. The author traces one such star from music composition (discovering the launchpad and beatâsequencer while watching SÂ Krillex, then creating his own MIDI program) to another star in 3D modeling, where experimenting with Blenderâs doughnut tutorial leads to printing objects and even making jewelry. He ties these creative pursuits together with a simple metaphor: computers are microscopes that help us see the details of our ideas. The essay ends by urging readers to follow their own constellationâwhether it is music, modeling, painting or anything elseâand to let those passions guide them back under the âstarry skiesâ of discovery.

The post argues that conventional schooling, with its focus on balanced curricula and teacherâdriven lessons, stifles creativity and practical learning; it cites AynâŻRandâs idea of checking premises as a starting point but expands to claim that true education is an integrated mind where knowledge aligns naturally. The author believes selfâpaced, selfâorganized learningâwhere students ask what they need to create rather than simply graduateâproduces startups and personal art. Money should flow from schools into studentsâ hands, not politics, so that they can build their own paths. In short, the essay proclaims a return to heartâdriven, connected knowledge as the real essence of education.

He reflects on his own past career with trainsâdriving them across the plainsâand later switching to weightlifting, but now prefers a quiet bookstore; yet he still complains about the horns, hoping they will be used more sparingly in the future. The post ends with a call for listeners to reply back and includes a sound file of the train horn.

The post argues that modern schooling is overâbuilt on standardized testing and fixed levels of knowledge, which stifles studentsâ natural learning pace. It proposes a model of selfâeducation where each learner follows a personal sequence that matches their existing knowledge and interests, advancing at a comfortable speed without the pressure of grades or punishment. By allowing room to think, dream, and pursue curiosities, schools would become arenas for adventures and investigations rather than graded exams, fostering wisdom, unity, and lifelong learning.

The post recounts a personal experience of living in New York City and finding comfort on a familiar spot on the Brooklyn Bridge, where the narrator enjoys quiet moments with Lady Liberty as company. He describes how he made an old bench his own, often returning to it even after leaving for Michigan, and relishes the simple pleasures of watching the river flow into the sea, skyscrapers towering beside him, ships passing beneath, and cars moving below. A rainy day adds a small adventure: he gets caught in the rain while on the bridge, returns drenched to the subway station, and observes another commuter smile at his wet puddle. All together, it paints an intimate portrait of solitude, routine, and affection for the cityâs iconic sights.

The post argues that all people on Earth together are the only force capable of shaping our future, and that this can be done most effectively through a shared pursuit of wisdom. It urges us to learn from past mistakes over centuries, to build mental âplateausâ by accumulating knowledge from countless books, and to bridge the small gap between student and teacher by becoming independent thinkers whose own wisdom is tailored to their essence. By gathering scattered insights, we can create new paths that synthesize an integrated view of the world, reject corruption, and serve humanity for good. The author stresses that our current stateâlack of learning, hidden liars, invisible prisonsâhas stalled advancement, but if we rise as citizens of the world and converge on wisdom, all divisions will disappear.

Watching âTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesâ and âInspector Gadgetâ with closed captions helped me learn how words are divided in spoken English, but I still struggled to say the time correctlyâmy watch read about 17:08, and I couldnât decide whether to say âseventeen oh eightâ or âfive PM,â which left a passerâby confused. After that mixâup, I found myself on a NewâŻYork subway, recording station names in my cassette recorder only to discover Iâd mispronounced them; still, by looping back to Manhattan and then returning the way I came, I finally got home at Greenpoint hours late. Along the way I bought a slice of pizza for 25¢âconfused whether that meant a quarter or just twentyâfive centsâbut paid it with a single coin, enjoyed the spicy mozzarella crust, and left feeling proud of my new taste of American food.

The post humorously claims that wearing a tailâwhether real or metaphoricalâis essential for good health and success: pharmacists say you should have one, dentists assert itâs vital for chewing, spine specialists claim it relieves pain, nurses hope youâre dressed with a tail to cover your buttocks, researchers tout tails as cures for ailments, therapists hide their power, conspiracies fail to conceal them, religions use God to mask the tailâs magic, and even mythic figures like the Monkey King, generals, queens, presidents, businesswomen, and salespeople all rely on a âfancy tailâ to win battles, achieve prosperity, and boost sales. The tail is described as a combination of âBee's Knees and Cat's Meow,â and it supposedly existed in our ancestors 25âŻmillion years ago; the post ends by inviting readers to buy one at Halloween stores.

After a week of philosophy finals and a boyâs question about Descartes, the narrator realizes that their class was merely an exercise in selfâdeception and academic fraud. He reflects on how teachers may simplify lectures and arbitrarily set grades to keep the illusion alive, urging students to act quickly before reality hurts. The story recounts his own academic journeyâstudying art, sculpture, programming while seeking companionshipâand a Deanâs final blow that made him realize school was fake. He notes that many workers are told âforget collegeâ which feels cruel, and that numbers 25â80 represent the stages of this fraud. Yet he believes one can move mountains if they first move themselves; biographies become turning points to escape early. He concludes with a vision of greatness: becoming both professor and forever student, letting passions guide the path, using books as vessels of wisdom, and making each step toward greatness wiser.
