“'Modern Love' completes the EP as an intricate musical piece weaving in and out of complex rhythms. There is even a beatless ambient mix that shows Subb-an has more strings to his bow. We are always keen to push artists out of their comfort zone and really show the world what they are capable of.” WorldShowsArtistPiecesModernComfortCapableComplexesMusicalRhythmZoneStringsBowsComfort ZoneIntricateWeavingAmbientModern Love Author:Subb-an
“The drive to be useful is encoded in our genes. But when we gather in very large numbers, as in the modern nation-state, we seem capable of levels of folly and self-destruction to be found nowhere else in all of nature. But if we keep at it and keep alive, we are in for one surprise after another. We can build structures for human society never seen before, thoughts never heard before, music never heard before.” IfsHumansSelfStatesSeemsFoundNationsLevelsNumbersAliveHeardModernCapableDestructionStructureSurprisePersistenceFollyGenesLarge NumbersHuman SocietySelf Destruction Author:Lewis Thomas
“Industrial Society is not merely one containing 'industry,' large-scale productive units capable of supplying man's material needs in a way which can eliminate poverty: it is also a society in which knowledge plays a part wholly different from that which it played in earlier social forms, and which indeed possesses a quite different type of knowledge. Modern science is inconceivable outside an industrial society: but modern industrial society is equally inconceivable without modern science. Roughly, science is the mode of cognition of industrial society, and industry is the ecology of science.” MenWayNeedsDifferentPlayFormSocialPovertyModernMaterialsTypeIndustryCapableScalesProductiveEcologyUnitsCognitionModern ScienceContainingLarge Scale Author:Ernest Gellner
“The notion of a healthy society, of capable people who are able to enjoy life, arose in the liberal, middle-class, leftist and non-religious segments of society.

“More people have access to education today than ever before. But I cannot help but feel that the modern educational experience is not preparing us adequately to attend the rich banquet of life. Certainly the young people of today have mastered the use of technology and are capable of solving complex scientific and mathematical problems, but who and what do these serve if they cannot think for themselves? If they have no understanding of the meaning and purpose of their own lives? If they do not know who they are as individuals?” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsFeelsHelpingUseProblemTodayYoungPurposeIndividualUnderstandingEducationTechnologyRichModernCapableComplexesEducationalAccessMathematicalPreparingBanquetsMathematical ProblemsAccess To EducationEducation TodayUse Of Technology Author:Matthew Kelly

“Our modern world-view tragically misperceives and wrongly defines what it is to be human. We are conditioned by our society to believe happiness comes from pleasure, or from getting things or power over people or money or fame or even health and survival. None of these sometimes very good things can bring ultimate meaning to our lives. We are born to be deeply conscious, inwardly free and deeply capable of love. The longing for these things is the definition of what it means to be human.” PeopleBelieveMeanSometimesPleasureModernFameSurvivalCapableConsciousUltimateLongingGood ThingsVery Good Author:Jacob Needleman
“At the present moment in our culture this yearning for meaning and consciousness, this yearning to give and serve something higher than ourselves, is breaking through the hard crust of our widespread cultural materialism and pseudo-scientific underestimation of what a human being is meant to be together with an equally tragic overestimation of what we human beings are capable of in our present everyday state of being. The intensity of the present confusion about the nature and existence of God is a symptom of this yearning within the whole of our modern culture.” GivingMomentsTogetherCultureExistenceConsciousnessModernCapableEverydayConfusionTragicMaterialismPresent MomentMeant To BeYearningExistence Of God Author:Jacob Needleman
