I've just finishing watching Sheridan's full video.. and again, it's one of those times when my intuition goes ' ding ding ding' - aka it's right on the mark.
I've only become more familiar with Orthodox Christianity - based on Alexander Christofouri explaining it quickly in a recent interview with the Polish gal. As he puts it, the process matters a lot and you have to take a longer-term view and be more patient. That is what's taught culturally and spiritually, which ties in with Michael Martin's take.
However, there was a discussion last week about how folks are no longer enjoying the events which they used to go to, due to them having embraced vexing mandates. I have the same exact feelings - not just for the physical events, but during the early part of the global lockdowns, a lot of complete classical concerts were posted on Youtube by the main labels which own the copywrites, and one thing I noticed quickly and have commented in private with friends - is that a person would be playing a piece which sounded transcendal, euphoric or just full of joy. But the same person playing the same piece now in a new recording - would be note perfect technically speaking, playing with polished ease.... yet there's definitely something missing. In the older version, I may have wanted to play it in the background while reading some other stuff, but it becomes so arresting that I switch over and just simply enjoy watching and listening to the performance. Now? it's like muzak in the background and I can barely tolerate it. I had described it as the performer no longer having any soul in the music...
