sometimes being an oboe player means yelling “NO THANK YOU” at your reed after playing exactly one (1) note

Richard Burdick's Fourtitude Four for Four For #Flute, #altoflute, #oboe & #BassClarinet Movement TWO

This, the second movement of this work is a "bittersweet" sort of work, that features the oboe. It has many similar but mostly subtally all different phrases that go from soft to loud. Soft to loud like a saw-tooth shape.

Just addressing the latest lies about me: No, I didn't call anyone an abuser. 🙄

The rumor mill is apparently running again

It's come to my attention someone has been claiming I called them an abuser. Just to set the record straight, here is what I believe is the comment I made in a discussion that included the classic "you can't prove DID is only caused by trauma" talking point.

Here's a link to a reblog to prove I haven't edited it.

I didn't accuse them of being an abuser. What I did say is that their talking point is designed to associate endogenic systems with abusers. And I stated the fact that it's emotionally manipulative.

It's the classic "think of the children" argument often employed by right-wingers, designed to shutdown critical thinking.

Art, Argument, and Advocacy (2002) argued that the appeal substitutes emotion for reason in debate. Ethicist Jack Marshall wrote in 2005 that the phrase's popularity stems from its capacity to stunt rationality, particularly discourse on morals.

This particular instance is based on a false premise that the only way to prove DID can only be caused by trauma is to traumatize children.

It's also directed at an audience of abuse survivors in a way likely to trigger fight or flight responses.

I am not saying this particular user intentionally is using that tactic either. I said the talking point was emotionally manipulative, not that they personally were. Often, people repeating talking points like these are pawns who just absorb what they're told uncritically and repeat it back to others. (Although, lying about what I said and claiming I called them abusive does make me think they're being emotionally manipulative too.)

The French Oboe Tutor Experiment

Let's say you want to conduct a study on children. You have a hypothesis that the only way children can learn to play the Oboe is to have a tutor from France.

So you gather 200 children. 100 kids make up the experimental group and are taught to play the Oboe by a French tutor.

The other is the control group, and they're not taught to play the Oboe.

By the end of the experiment, the entire experimental group learns how to play the Oboe. But none of the control group do.

Therefore, the researchers conclude that you can only learn how to play the Oboe by being taught by a French tutor.

Proving Causation Doesn't Prove an Exclusive Causation

It shouldn't be hard to see the problem. While "being taught by a French tutor" results in a 100% causation rate compared to the 0% of children who learned to play the Oboe in the control group, this doesn't tell the whole story.

The Oboe is an uncommon instrument to learn in the general population and a group of 100 not having Oboe players isn't remarkable. Alternative hypotheses weren't tested. What would the results have been with a group with a Russian Oboe tutor? With a Korean Oboe tutor? Could some kids learn from online lessons if instructed to?

Likewise, testing a trauma hypothesis of DID could certainly prove causation. But it's not going to prove exclusive causation. It can't show that other things wouldn't be able to cause DID in certain cases.

That requires testing alternative hypotheses.

Which is still unethical...

Again, we can't do that. We can't try to give someone a mental disorder in the name of science.

So neither this proposed study nor similar testing alternative hypotheses for causation can be conducted.

But I want to address the reason that responses to anyone mentioning how the DSM says DID is associated with trauma but doesn't have a requirement is met with this ridiculous talking point of "THAT'S BECAUSE PROVING IT'S CAUSED BY TRAUMA WOULD MAKE US HAVE TO TRAUMATIZE KIDS!"

Traumatizing kids doesn't prove that's the only way to form DID anymore than the French Oboe Tutor Experiment above would somehow prove you can only learn the Oboe from French tutors.

This argument is 100% an emotional manipulation tactic meant to equate any people questioning the science to wanting to abuse children. It's made to trigger emotional reactions and shutdown your critical thinking so you don't question it any further, or to shame you into silence by associating you with child abusers.

And it's made for a base who already hold this view, and for them, the argument just further reinforces why they shouldn't ever question their beliefs.

Keep thinking critically!

To those reading this, keep questioning what you read. Keep thinking critically about it. Don't blindly accept what you're told as fact. Especially when it comes to science. If an argument appears to be based more on stopping you from thinking, be sure to ask yourself why.

If you had to assign instruments to support/DPS/tank roles which would be which?

Very refreshing ask to receive in my inbox because these days it is all filled with scams!!! /gen

Unfortunately, I cannot help you. I am a silly little fashion major in school. Video games give me anxiety.

The horn is assigned to whichever is best, though. <3

[supercantaloupe]

was thinking about this in my lesson this morning, how it’s really common for woodwind players to have multiple instruments. like i have two oboes in addition to my english horn but not even including other instruments like EH or d’amore, most oboists i know (especially professionals) will have two or three or more. i know flute and clarinets who’re the same way but i have no idea if it’s A Thing for string or brass players too

A Hot Boi playing a Hautbois

(Yes, I know it is pronounced "au bwah" but don't tell me that doesn't look like it would sound that way)

[aromanticbastards]

every once in a while i listen to classical music again and change my mind every ten to twenty seconds which wind instrument ia objectively the best instrument of them all

[silverstrying]

(fwiw the German name for the instrument is Fagott and the double t is relevant for the pronunciation, with the emphasis on the second syllable and a round „o“.)

What is a bassoon but a miserable little bundle of sticks ITS STILL THE GERMAN WORD FOR FAGGOT /lh

I am both though so it works out. Ich bin ein Fagott

[greenbabyofficial]

why do you, as a man, play the oboe

[roseband]

okay so for like a month i've been fumbling around with the audio recording system i bought in audacity

it came with ableton for free i'm sooooo mad at myself for not realizing ._.

also omg normal music sounds so much better coming through an actual amp interface from the computer instead of plugged direct into the computer headphone jack

[myathecool]

I love oboes so much. Have you ever heard anything more beautiful than an oboe solo?
