  People who can’t afford instruments would disagree with you, I’m sure. Imagine all the great music we miss out on because someone couldn’t afford an instrument or a lesson. What we need as a society is to provide for each other.

    Right … but you could say that about a lot of expensive and niche hobbies.

    Imagine all the great music we miss out on because someone couldn’t afford an instrument or a lesson. What we need as a society is to provide for each other.

    Imagine all the terrible music we were spared because talentless randoms couldn’t just pick up an instrument for free.

      Dang your pessimistic rhetoric is wild. Humans being musical isn’t just a hobby it’s one of our species defining traits.

        No it isn’t. Whales and birds sing … it’s a hobby.

      Have you installed bugs at all of your neighbors houses or something?

      Probably not, because if you did you’d be more annoyed at people who play their instruments well. That requires hours of boring exercise that don’t sound well at all. And even when they practice a piece, they’ll usually practice 4 bars on repeat, for an hour.

  Sounds to me like you haven’t found your instrument yet. More people making music is definitely something this world needs.

    Have you been to primary school? We all got to try out instruments there … and some people, including me, really shouldn’t have access to them.

      I dare you to try again some day. That’s how people get better at things if you didn’t know (;

      At 48 I don’t think they would be too keen on me rummaging through their band room.

  Self actualization might be at the very top of the pyramid of needs. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have it.

    Nah, that would be food.

      Someone needs to read up on their Maslow again.

      Food is at the bottom. With all the other physiological needs that form the foundation for the other, less important, needs.

      That’s how pyramids work.
