Oh boy oh boy, let’s see what I’ve been listening to that’s been released this year…

Rayless — Cos Sylvan (technically an EP, but I still count it because he hasn’t released a full album yet)

Take Me Back To Eden — Sleep Token

Doors to the Dead — Formation Ritual

Dance Devil Dance — Avatar

I will say that while I love these albums to bits, there does seem to be a lack of albums coming out this year…or maybe I’m just out of my music obsession from last year, I dunno. There is a Chris Catalyst album coming out in October that I’m super excited for though!

actually crazy that we're 3/4 of the way through the year and there have been like hardly any albums that I've really adored. 2022 spoiled me too much and the universe is balancing out the scales :/

What are the dance moves the party is whipping out

Also thank you for the time and love you put into your answers for my other asks, I appreciate it and hope you're having fun too.

Assuming a modern au or at least modern sensibilities/genres. Please enjoy my attempts to explain moves via text.

Siffrin will match whoever they're dancing with! They pick up new moves quickly and they like the variety. If you put him in the middle of the circle by himself, he will do some sort of cool flip or perhaps five seconds of fancy footwork, and then retreat to the edge and you have to let him because it was an awesome five seconds.

Mirabelle dances along to the words as much as the beat. You KNOW she's pointing when the song says "you" and making a heart when the song says "love". She'll try a partnered or choreographed dance, but sometimes she gets so caught up in getting the moves right that she loses track of the rhythm.

Isabeau is very determinedly willing to be the first person out on the dance floor, but he sticks to a small set of classic moves. The stomp/nod/fist. The shoulder twist / hip bump. Maybe the sexy chest/waist/hips/waist/chest wiggle if he's feeling daring. He also knows how to waltz!

Odile wallflowers it. She will good-naturedly nod her head and tap a food. Unless you get her just the right amount of drunk and pull her onto the dance floor while a song she knows is playing, in which case she goes all drama, singing along, arms flung out, lots of emotion.

Bonnie fortnite dances. Rare is the child this age who doesn't fortnite dance, whether or not they actually play fortnite. Old enough to feel too self-conscious for childish improv, young enough to feel too unskilled for stylish moves, just the right age to throw themself into something that's goofy and fun but also enough of a joke that they're not risking sincerity.

Nille would feel pretty awkward at first. But Bonnie can pull her into some fortnite dances, and once she's warmed up she develops a sort of swaying flowing style. But her favorite is dances that tell you what to do, because it's fun doing the same silly moves as everyone else, and they're like surprisingly exhausting in a good way.

If they must, Loop gives em the ol razzle dazzle~! But also, depending on factors, they might really love mosh pits.

In Caritate et Pietate: P.2, Cap.7, Q. 2

Question 2: Whether the Doctrine of Original Sin Contradicts the Confucian View of Human Perfectibility? Objection 1. It seems that the Catholic doctrine of original sin contradicts the Confucian affirmation of human perfectibility. Catholicism teaches that man, though created good, has fallen into a state of original sin, rendering him incapable of attaining perfection without supernatural…

The Philosophy of Practice

The philosophy of practice explores the nature, purpose, and implications of repeated actions, skill acquisition, and discipline in shaping human life, ethics, and understanding. It addresses questions about how consistent effort contributes to personal growth, mastery, and the formation of habits, as well as its broader societal and existential significance.

Key Themes:

Practice and Mastery

Skill Development: Practice is essential for honing skills, whether in art, science, sports, or daily life. Philosophically, this raises questions about the relationship between effort and talent, and whether mastery is achievable by anyone given sufficient practice.

Perfection vs. Process: Some philosophies view practice as a means to an end (mastery), while others emphasize the value of practice as an ongoing, intrinsic process.

Ethical Practice

In ethics, practice involves cultivating virtues (e.g., patience, humility, courage) through repeated actions.

Aristotle’s concept of habituation suggests that moral character is built through repeated virtuous actions, making practice central to ethical living.

Habit Formation

Practice often leads to the formation of habits, both beneficial and harmful. Philosophical discussions focus on:

The distinction between conscious practice and unconscious habit.

How habits shape identity and free will.

Embodiment and Knowledge

Through practice, knowledge becomes embodied or tacit (e.g., riding a bike or playing an instrument). This leads to questions about the nature of knowledge:

Is knowledge primarily intellectual, or does it require physical engagement?

How does practice bridge the gap between theory and experience?

Time and Repetition

Practice inherently involves repetition over time, leading to reflections on the nature of time itself:

How does the repetitive nature of practice influence our perception of progress?

Does practice emphasize a linear or cyclical view of time?

Practice as Ritual

Many practices take on a ritualistic or meditative quality, fostering mindfulness and presence. Philosophical traditions such as Zen Buddhism emphasize practice (e.g., zazen or seated meditation) as an expression of living in the moment.

This invites reflection on whether practice is primarily a means to an end or an end in itself.

The Role of Failure

Failure is an inherent part of practice, often seen as a stepping stone to improvement. Philosophical discussions explore:

How does failure shape the meaning of practice?

Can failure itself be considered a form of success or growth?

The Social Dimension of Practice

Many practices are communal, such as group sports, collective rituals, or collaborative work. These raise questions about the interplay between individual and collective effort.

How do social contexts shape what is considered valuable practice?

Practice and Creativity

While practice involves repetition, creativity often requires breaking from routine. Philosophers explore the tension between disciplined practice and the spontaneity of innovation.

Existential and Spiritual Perspectives

In existentialism, practice can be tied to the idea of authentic living: the repetitive engagement with one’s choices and actions creates meaning in an otherwise indifferent universe.

In spiritual traditions, practice is often viewed as a path to enlightenment or transcendence, requiring faith and persistence.

Practice in Professional and Scientific Contexts

The philosophy of practice also examines the iterative processes of experimentation, refinement, and learning in fields like science, medicine, and education.

How does the structure of professional practice influence the pursuit of truth or excellence?

Challenges and Limitations of Practice

Not all forms of practice guarantee improvement or success, leading to questions about when persistence becomes futile.

How do external factors, such as societal constraints or innate abilities, limit the effectiveness of practice?

The philosophy of practice highlights the transformative power of consistent effort in shaping individual and collective life. It bridges the gap between intention and action, theory and reality, and connects the mundane with the profound. By reflecting on practice, we gain insight into the ways we cultivate skills, virtues, and meaning, and how these processes shape our understanding of what it means to be human.
