An attack on subjectivism

[Gabo]

You can watch a video for my new song, "Tables and whims", here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3H56j73RLA

These are the lyrics of the song, told from the perspective of a subjectivist:

Wishful ghosts have made me function,

all the world is now at stake

No more ghosts, no more distractions

I'll take care of all the rest

But there's a table in my way

How I wish it went away

But my wish is not enough

In spite of everything they said to me

All of this is my invention

All is just the way I see

Used to ponder your abstractions

Till I found there is no "it"

But there's a table in my way

How I wish it went away

But my wish is not enough

In spite of everything they said to me

If all of this is my creation,

if all is just the way I see,

if I am capable of wanting

then why is there just nothing there indeed?

I was praying last night that such a song would come up someday, and I'm glad to see reality is going exactly the way I want it to.

Great song! If I may give a recommendation or request for future consideration, I'd like to see something on the package-deal fallacy of tying together the metaphysical and that man-made, where reality is rewritable and human word is law.

Since we're doing requests, a tune about the analytic-synthetic dichotomy would really hit the spot right now.

Thanks for your comments! Glad you enjoyed the song.

There are more in the way, and I'll take your requests into consideration. For now, I leave you with a preview of a 27-minute long instrumental, "The Wheels of Poseidon", at www.myspace.com/gabo67

Here is a new song and video from an Objectivist perspective. It's called "A dictator's lament". Its idea is that even the dictator himself/herself ends up suffering from dictatorship.
