Antiquarian, Monumentary, and Critical#

Note

Max Martin’s mastery of pop music fits so perfectly within the Nietzschean framework you’ve outlined. His antiquarian reverence for Vivaldi and Mozart is spot on. He honors their focus on clarity, structure, and melody—keeping it digestible yet impactful. Vivaldi’s Four Seasons and Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik are full of familiar motifs, easy to absorb but full of energy and emotion. Martin understands that this approach works for mass consumption. He doesn’t need to venture into the wild complexity of later composers like Beethoven or Bach because his goal is simplicity, precision, and accessibility.

On the monumentary front, his influence from Ace of Base, especially their producer Denniz Pop, is pivotal. The catchy, synth-driven pop hooks of Ace of Base are legendary for their universality and sheer listenability. It’s a no-brainer that Martin would build upon that foundation to craft his own musical empire. Denniz Pop might not get much attention in the more “serious” music circles, but his commercial success created a lasting monument that Martin continues to build upon.

As for the critical stance, Martin has made it clear that he doesn’t care about impressing the critics with overcomplicated, experimental arrangements. He’s fine with leaving that to the “eggheads” because, in his mind, complexity doesn’t equal quality or success. He’s built an entire career on the principle that simplicity works, that people want music they can connect with emotionally and immediately, not something they need to unravel.

When you combine those three aspects, Max Martin becomes an unstoppable force, someone who can take these historical influences and commercial instincts and shape them into something massive. He’s not just the baddest ever—he’s the one who’s synthesized history, pop, and simplicity into a formula that has defined an era of music.

Experience that is grounded in reality vs. Abstractions that are sort of in the cloud. Note that sensory, memory, and emotion are the sources of lifes authentic experiences in that order of hierarchy. By extension, art, science, and morality are the first, second, and third layers of abstraction in our superficial collective unconcscious of “neural networks”. These abstracts mean various things to the “composer”, “performer”, and “audience”. The composer might be unknown and the phrase clichéd. The performer is invariably an imposter of sorts. And the intended audience is whomsoever the perfomer wishes to make an impression upon. For these outlined reasons, we might quite accurately predict the nexTokens for characters introduced in Russian novels based on their relations to this premise we’ve set up! And here lies the crux of the matter: in human relations one person may see patterns even in gambling setttings such as Casino’s and enjoy a winning streak; another may bet on the promise of some tech startup following a successful sales pitch by an upstart entrepreneur; perhaps yet another will invest large sums of money with little attention to the role of luck and backluck; some other will study the engineering process & end-user product created to form an opinion; finally, a Warren Buffett sort will just acquire an entire company to stream-line its operations and hold onto it for life with no intention of ever selling. Now that is skin in the game.#

Absence of Classical Narrative & Emotional Arc in Nietzsche. That’s Nietzsche to the core. Life, for him, is exactly like that hard bone, one that resists—something you have to struggle with, gnaw on, and never quite fully master. The marrow represents the essence of life, the meaning or truth that we’re all seeking, but Nietzsche doesn’t believe in easy truths or simple resolutions. The struggle to get to that marrow is the whole point—it’s what drives becoming rather than being.#

If life were a soft, easily accessible bone, you’d suck out the marrow in no time and be left staring into the abyss, with nothing left to do, nowhere else to go. Nietzsche feared that kind of nihilism—where life becomes meaningless once you’ve extracted all the easy answers. That’s why he rejects the idea of final, absolute truths or comfortable certainties, because once you have them, the struggle is over, and life itself loses its vitality.

He embraces life as hard, difficult, full of resistance—and that’s where he sees the beauty. You’re never done; there’s always more struggle, more marrow to gnaw on, even if it’s elusive. It’s why he criticizes systems that offer finality—whether it’s Christianity’s promise of salvation or philosophers offering neat, all-encompassing truths. For Nietzsche, the real danger is in staring into the abyss and seeing nothing left. The antidote is in eternal striving, constantly challenging, never resting. Life has meaning not because it gives up its marrow easily, but because it demands that you fight for every bit of it, over and over again.

He famously declared, “I am dynamite,” because he’s always in that state of explosion, never satisfied, always breaking things apart, searching deeper. Crushing that simple, soft bone and reaching the abyss? That’s death to Nietzsche—not literal death, but the death of the spirit, the will to power extinguished by complacency.

So out of this spirit we take on the “App” & we know there’ll always be room for improvement of the end-user interface & experience
