    1. Am 23. Oktober wurde der erste Bericht des europäischen Steuerobservatoriums publiziert, bei dem es unter anderem darum geht, in welchem Maß die beschlossene 15% Mindeststeuer auf die Gewinne internationaler Unternehmen umgesetzt wird und welche Ergebnisse zu erwarten sind. Der Bericht stellt da, welche enormen Mengen an Geld von internationalen Unternehmen und von Milliardären nach wie vor nicht versteuert werden.

    1. But there can also be a buildup of tension as one gathers information that is incompatible with one’s key signature, which gets progressively more difficult to maintain, and can lead to the sort of intensity of experience that drives an annealing-like process when the key signature flips.

      cue [[Godel Escher Bach]]'s [[Little Harmonic Labyrinth]]: ends in a pseudo-tonic that never returns back to original [[tonic]]. results in tension dangling from continual musical modulation without resolution

      similar to [[linguistic]] structures as well - unconsciously keeping track of constructions and hierarchies within sentences

    1. Hmmm....I'm going to have to listen to BWV 159.

    2. Clearly, John Eliot Gardiner's involvement with Bach's music has been in with the passions, masses, and cantatas. Still, it would have been revealing to read Gardiner's take on Bach's instrumental work.
