@drewp.weiner5708 ahhh... Right, yes, that's because I don't see a distinction 🙂
Da Vinci was a scientist AND an artist. One of the best of both in his time. I do not see this as coincidence.
You know about Golden Ratio and that musical structure is mathematical?
Art and science are the same; they are different aspects of human nature bounded by the same rules (fundamental structure of the reality; nature itself).
Postmodernist philosophy rejects any attempt at a systematic approach as "tyrannical", which is, from what I understand, what Rick was getting at; that there ARE systematic approaches and that you CAN use them to create innovative music; that you don't need to wholesale reject a structured understanding of music.
(Postmodernism and intersectionality are inextricably linked and it's the latter which is fundamentally racist - it ACTIVELY seeks to draw group-based comparisons, on the basis of skin colour, which is the heart of racism ("I have a dream..."). Postmodernism is used as the means of attacking Empiricism, which actually stands against racism. Ask yourself this: how do you scientifically TEST for race?
Answer: you can't.
You can talk about group behaviours, but that's culture, not race. You can talk about probabilities of certain genetic features arising in a geographically clustered population, but that that's statistics, not a test.
"Postmodernists" tend to be racists while claiming they are not and slamming the one thing that truly isn't.)

It's about attitude. The postmodern "philosophical" view is that "there's no such thing as tonal music" and that "all music is of equal value".
For a "normal" person (which you sound like), this doesn't make sense, at which point, a postmodernist would say "that's because you're not smart enough to understand", when the truth (which they conveniently deny the existence of), is that you ARE right; it doesn't make sense.
Rick's point here is that it is possible - necessary, even - to create new, innovative music through understanding the orthodoxy and using, even selectively.
To a postmodernist, learning about the orthodoxy is bad as it "taints" your thinking; you should just mash the keys randomly and call the result music, because you feel it is music.
Again, to anyone with any sense, this is ludicrous, but that's really what they claim to believe.

@drewp.weiner5708 Well, no, as an empiricist, all knowledge is useful... Even if that's "the only thing this is good for is as an example of what NOT to do", a value judgement which postmodernism strictly prohibits.
No, sorry, but postmodernism has no meaningful, practical purpose for people in their everyday lives, unlike empiricism, which ACTUALLY repudiates racism and delivers useful things like computers and the Internet.
If you think empiricism DOESN'T repudiate racism, you're either a racist or doing it wrong.
