"Bach, number six."

[CataKlysmiC]

As I started this video, Gus Gus "On the job" was going on in another tab and I thought this music was also part of the video... I just could not figure out what was going on in other comments.

[mandarinfishorcagirl]

lol...i was looking for bach number six because of this book :P

[weavehole]

Hi, what's the reading from?

[chiejohinna]

@weavehole , it's from Douglas Adams' Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency

[weavehole]

@chiejohinna

I should have known I wrote an essay about the DG books at school. (Twas only 19 years ago)

:)

[xsunburstx]

Is it possible to get a full version of this interpretation?

[clyffe347]

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

Aldous Huxley

Pipe down about "god", you're missing the music.

4+2= 6

Isn't this bwv 649 ?

I've responded to your comment in the expanded description at right. Click on (more info).

[anisometropie]

oh, right thanks.

The music of Bach show me the prove that God exist ! Sometimes humans are responsible for destructive actions, but sometime (rarely) it seems that WE try to reach perfection. Definitively Bach reach this state of perfection !

[Mjhavok]

It is interesting how you attribute something beautiful to god but attribute destruction to humans.

If god is responsible for Bach he is responsible the genocide in Rwanda. You can't have it both ways.

In reality though there is no such thing as god beyond the concept humans have created.

[TripleMirror]

Yes, surely this world was created! Paradoxically (for some people), the science itself proves that.

[jgt157]

How do you know that God is responsible for what happened in Rwanda? Are you all knowing? Just because you say He's responsible? There is a God, you just deny His existence.

[Mjhavok]

I don't think god is responsible because I don't think a god exists. If you think he does though then the problem lays with you that he allows this and therefore condones it.

[jgt157]

Mjhovok,

Unfortunately, what we think and what we believe may not be true. In this case, you can believe and think there is no God all you want, but it does not equivocate to what is true. I pray God would open your eyes to the truth. And you're right about the fact that He allows things to happen, but that doesn't necessarily mean He condones it.

[Mjhavok]

If he is all powerful and doesn't stop suffering then he condones it. Unless he just doesn't care but the he can't be all loving. He just can't. It is logically contradictory. You call what you believe the truth only because you believe it. I think what I believe is true because I try my best to believe what has the most evidence and not believe in stuff that lacks any evidence and is logically incoherent.

You pray for me. I'll think for you.

Deal?

[jgt157]

My belief isn't based simply on faith. It is based on facts. The truth of the matter is, God is loving. If he wasn't then we would all be in the same situation as the people of Rwanda. Jesus said, "repent or you will likewise perish". Stop believing in blind faith my friend. You know there is a God deep down. His handy work is all around you. You just refuse to acknowledge Him.

[Mjhavok]

What facts? You mean your beliefs and opinions, they aren't facts. God does seem to love babies with Tay-Sachs disease or AIDS or TB or Malaria. Their free will didn't get them sick. I don't know there is a god, I think the concept is absurd. His handy work is all around me? Iranian riots because of a fixed election? Millions of sick or starving people, economic recession, war, drought. Yea nice. To bad he isn't real.

[jgt157]

It sounds like you have a real concern for all these people who are sick with various diseases. Let me ask you, what are you doing to help these people? It also sounds like, you want God to make us automatons. Robots who are programmed to do what ever the maker wishes. God gave us free will and we are reaping what we sow. It isn't God's fault there is sickness in the world, it is ours. We bring it on ourselves. The riots in Iran is simply a symptom of the disease we have. It's called sin.

[Genomatekk]

so... What are you doing to help these people?

Praying for them?

I really think they'd much prefer food.

[Sparafucile22]

Adams and Bach: sublime.

[ViperRob42]

I'm renaming it Bach #42 hehee, long live Adams who showd us what it is like to be human, to question and to live, and to Bach who gave us genius well before its time... indeed, to understand the Universe before his own time

[anisometropie]

the guy with the five string cello at the end. that's odd, he will come on the 3 of February to my city to play Haydn cello concerto in D major, and there was exactly the same photograph in the MC2 program book.

My teacher told me that the E string was awful, but I don't hear anything awful, piccolo cello is really awesome, I definitely need one to play the 6th Bach cello suite!

[Elaryin]

You are absolutely gorgeous.

I have been looking for this, incidentally, after reading Dirk Gently. I've been going through a lot of Bach the past week. I think I'm slightly determined to make someone go mad by playing his music over and over again at this point.

[mightyrome]

When ever I feel a little down, I listen Bach.Bach is life affirming,one of the reasons for living,and staying positive.Thanks for posting it.

[Skoura]

Douglas Adams and Bach are both amazing. As Adams said, "Mozart tells us what it's like to be human, Beethoven tells us what it's like to be Beethoven, and Bach tells us what it's like to be the universe."

Amazing video, thank you very, very much!

[Fedearte63]

so sorry Skoura your words are great ! , but I voted no by mistake.

[fanaticodebach]

awesome, thank you so much!

[theogler22]

I don't get it.

[schmiggen]

Read "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency" by Douglas Adams -- that should help :)

[theprince666]

wow!

thank you very much for showing me this!

I actually memorized the books from reading/listening so much. I am a lot like Richard in the way that he is affected by music.

Not many people understood music and how it all fits in the universe like Douglas, I cried like a baby when he passed away, he is sorely missed.

Again thanks again for showing me this.

p.s. sorry for the delayed response, I finally just noticed that I had a video, not a normal one.
