Leisures on red bottom via Fernand Léger

From within love, we conceal the chance nature of our lives behind a purposive veil. We insist that the meeting with our redeemer, objectively haphazard and hence unlikely, has been prewritten in a scroll slowly unwinding in the sky. We invent a destiny to spare ourselves the anxiety that would arise from acknowledging that the little sense there is in our lives is merely created by ourselves, that there is no scroll (and hence no preordained fate awaiting) and that who we may or may not be meeting on airplanes has no sense beyond that we choose to attribute to it — in short, the anxiety that no one has written our story or assured our loves.

Alain de Botton Essays in Love

Analytical philosophy, or some recognizable descendant of it, should be able to make a richer contribution to ethics than has often been the case up to now. If it is to do so, it will need to hold on to two truths which it tends to forget (not only in ethics, but most damagingly there): that philosophy cannot be too pure, and must merge with other kinds of understanding; and that being soberly truthful does not exclude, but may actually demand, the imagination.

Gravity: A Falling Montage

Not just the way we see red when we get angry—that too, moreover; it is only erroneously that one considers it something that is an occasional exception, without suspecting what deep and general law one has touched upon!—but rather like this: things swim in emotions the way water lilies consist not only of leaves and flowers and white and green but also of "gently lying there"

Oliver Sacks sobre la música

The late, great Oliver Sacks on 9/11 and the singular power of music to provide solace. 

El sonido de la libertad, el sonido de la bicicleta

This is amazing: Composer Johnnyrandom creates an entire track solely out of sounds made by a bicycle. Also available as an inverted MtB remix.

Complement with other experimental music sampling from unusual objects.
