  • I have two questions.

    1. After the revolution, how to you prevent the people that were influential during the revolution from seizing power for themselves, becoming the new bourgeoisie. This happened time and time again in practice.

    2. Even in the best case scenario, the decisions on what to produce become centralized in the hands of politicians. Political systems that we tried so far don’t work that well in practice. Is this really the best solution?
















  • The recorder. It’s easy to get started, there is a lot of good information online (look up Sarah Jeffery), and professional plastic instruments are very cheap. It also requires no special care and doesn’t need maintenance, since it has no moving parts.

    The downside is that in order to play larger recorders your hands need to stretch a bit, so I’m no sure if that is a problem if you have joint issues.

    The other option is a hand ocarina, but it is very hard to even make a sound, even harder to make it clear and consistent. Also you need to play entirety by ear. It’s a fun challenge, though.
