I'm trying to better understand the differences in musical scales and modes again and came across this great video that plays a Mozart sonata and a Bach toccata in different scales/modes and shows you how the sound changes. The ET system is really crazy, but only in the sense that it tries to wrangle the complexity of nature into a single clean continuous system. So, maybe it's not really crazy, but nature is!

How I wish Scales & Modes were explained to me as a student

This one video is really wild, especially the parts about Gamelan and Thai classical music, but also Western piano tuning. And I think it all boils down to the fact that scales and modes are all relative to the sounds that you're composing with and there's no single “right” way to make music.
