the song
46 & 2
by the band
TOOL

One hopes, at some point, to have all of the words to fully describe the AWESOME that this piece of work is - until that time, Awesome is the one that must suffice. It may be obvious why the video has gone viral - from the choice of the song, the mastery with which the piece is executed, to the tutoring that is evidenced, there's much to appreciate here.

What is drawn though Ehnian perception into honoring the piece as a "kata dtao" are the social potentials that this rendering of the song models for Humanity, and these include notions of "unemcumbered possibility" and "plumbed genius". In these, what the piece draws particular attention to are what may be accomplished given sufficient resource that is absent restrictive standards of conformity - other than what is specific and essential to the focal exercise, and the natural ability that every individual is reasoned to distinctively excel at in some way. In a world view of universal inclusiveness, such capacities are an element of personal nature that is individual and; therefore, to be uniquely recognized and valued in its own regard as one's "forte". And if forte is discernably and individually distinct, then in the perception described here, it is exempt from standards of common measure and beyond socializing comparisons such as those of merit and expectation. In a social emphasis of this kind it is an erosion of individual forte and genius to curb these according to the limitations of custom, rather than plumbing their distinct potentials as the social and cultural priority. In these contexts of reasoning such conventions of custom are inappropriate until there is formal social consensus on applying them equiatbly and cohesively within a cultural cluster, while honoring individual or group purpose and agency within the culture. Ehnian reasoning; therefore, concludes that these interests are better enabled and served through consensual paradigms and models of social emphasis and determination. And we are grateful to the performers in this video for inspiring concepts of such aspiration for Human society.

Then there is the subject matter of the piece itself - the evolution of Human chromosomal physiology as contributed to by the consciousness shifts potentially reached through the Shadow psyche of our psychology. That a work of art touches on this is unsurprising in this age and at this stage of Humanity's collective knowledge pool. But; that those so young might choose to showcase the concept in celebrating their artistic achievement is nothing less than outstanding, and stirs the Ehnian spirit. Where's the emoticon for standing ovation? Here, here!!
