In other words, you haven't yet spent the time learning to read music, so you'd rather trash the system that evolved over several centuries and pretend that it's ridiculous.

Nothing has been "denied to you". You just haven't spent the time it takes to learn. Have foreign languages been "denied to you", too?

What, precisely, is ridiculous about music notation? It represents time, on the x axis, and pitch, on the y axis (on a basic level). Seems reasonably logical, to me.
