  • The problem with music and instruments (and probably some other manual skills) as opposed to information learning is that pretty soon you’re going to need steady practice in order to progress and not regress. Half an hour min a day on one instrument is already a fair bit to keep up (almost) every single day. Doing that for e.g. six instruments is three plus hours of intense work every day. And if any of them need your lips or fingers or facial muscles etc, that’s multiple times the repetitive strain on them.

    Even one physical instrument is hard on many people’s physique. Not to mention wallet.

    But information, improvising, ear training, theory. That kind of thing will help on all fronts. That works great.

    Beginning is easy, but keeping up is hard. If you’re ok with that or can cut down later, I’d say go for it. Just try not to get injured.









  • You already had it. They pretended to have an election and then they slowly dismantle the remains of a pretend democracy while the dictatorship/oligarchy continues. You don’t wave banners or do any big loud moves and there’s minimum resistance. Hell, you can even have a little concentration camps and death squads as a treat.

    Just like there’s been WWIII going on in Europe for years now with minimal resistance outside the immediate warzones.

    And there’s been several country wide invasions in recent decades. A bit of news for a while, but as long as you don’t put up new flags, they’re forgotten about after a few years as businesses get going again.
