Videos of Tomi Lahren, Ben Shapiro and Meir Kahane are sent my way from my religious brother accompanied by a warning I should buy more canned food because the radical left controls America and are creating profound deficits which will ruin the US. Sometimes I yell at him and call him names, I feel entitled, we are brothers, he does the same back. I realized the other day when he sends me these links, which I want to counter by explaining what’s wrong with these people (and by extension him), that it doesn’t work that way. There is nothing I can say if A = B and B = A, Could A = C? Or put another way, could A or B change? My hypothesis is whoever can change, can change. Sort of reminds of the sound of I am, that I am. Separate from the math between me and him, trying to figure out how to put these experiences into a justifiable musical explanation for PhD-land because music itself has positioned me to grasp these ideas (or life itself has positioned me to understand music this way). Either way, I want to calculate the how’s of whether A could be C.
