Instead of going off on Blue Oyster Cult a change in music was my choice. I checked around other artist creations and couldn’t make a decision as to what music to folloow.

The video seems to be the real stuff but slop is so prevalent it’s not off brand to question the source. There’s so much out there that I think it might be a net negative to general human creativity.

The paradox of slop being the byproduct of what might be humanity’s highest intellectual achievement so far and the grey future it produces as human intellect declines. The calculator acts as a crutch to higher human calculation. Spelling and grammar checks are the crutch for those wth crippled language. I’ll not start on gameified foreign language programs as I admit my own positive dopamine kick with a certain green owl. All these things are undercutting the mental stress which demand mental flexing and increase neural development.

It’s sad to think you can’t get a situation like in the story ‘The Machine Stops’ because a movie land of Idiocracy and the rpg Paranoia prevent the brain function. In 2020 we crossed the mental Rubicon.
