about the song
[/box]the difficulty names are based on lyrics heard within the song. it completes with this:
I'll think, therefore I'll be
What if I "think" that I "think"?
the lyrics monologued through the song is a quote by rene descartes, from which the title of the song is drawn upon. read below:
[box=]Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess. And in this it is not likely that all are mistaken the conviction is rather to be held as testifying that the power of judging aright and of distinguishing truth from error, which is properly what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men; and that the diversity of our opinions, consequently, does not arise from some being endowed with a larger share of reason than others, but solely from this, that we conduct our thoughts along different ways, and do not fix our attention on the same objects. For to be possessed of a vigorous mind is not enough; the prime requisite is rightly to apply it. The greatest minds, as they are capable of the highest excellences, are open likewise to the greatest aberrations; and those who travel very slowly may yet make far greater progress, provided they keep always to the straight road, than those who, while they run, forsake it.
lasahs brain rapping philosophy yughhhh so good

about the map
i had recently started mapping at this time...
after failing my first ranked map attempt (vampire), i wanted to try something new. i tried a longer song with a less tradtional song structure. i wanted to try patterning streams and longer patterns with mixed snapping as my first ranked map attempt was simple.
i got bns and decided to edit the structure of the map to make it more consistent a year later but they both dropped, so i left this in the dust.
however, this map is so sentimental for me. i mapped every greenline manually using a damn calculator even the 175 note 1/3 stream (except for the few edited sections after updating year later) because i had a mac at the time and couldnt use a mapping tool. i mapped this on the plane moving to the us for school and it kept me from getting nervous. it got modded a lot...and i struggled finding bns and modders because of the song choice and map approach. this album...lasah and lemm...got me through so many hard times. i wanted to rank this to share the joy of this song. its not really representative of my current mapping style (you can see a lot of patterns of this time) and i would do this slightly differently but its my start, so i dont want to change much at all. i make all my maps with love and care regardless if they are viewed as good or not. so i hope i can rank this, even if its still 2 years and counting...for the effort and song alone if anything.
with dt this map is fun to play though.
Map style:
> Simple
> Minimal, easy to read SV
> 1/3 stream section
> Kiais with finishers
