Groupthink and virtue signalling have taken over. It's disheartening to see how willingly people plug their brains into woke ideology. But then, all of a sudden, something unexpected happens. Luke Combs finds Tracy Chapman's song, it speaks to him, and he decides to record it. Then comes the pile-on by zealous numbskulls. But Tracy isn't having any of it. A powerful vibration emanates from those two decisions, and here we are, in an unexpected, better place. I'm a pessimist by nature but this gives me hope.
Look into Perspectiva Substack...they are looking into examining music and its relationship to the 'Metacrisis'. One essay opined that we, as a Society, have become intellectually obese as a result of the 'internet age' and music is nourishment rather than food. Interesting analogy/metaphor, I thought.
Back then, artists were pushing a zeitgeist: unity, despite differences. We've lost that thrust, seemingly willingly.

Music is the perfect food.

Intellectual obesity is a good metaphor for how, through consuming the internet, weтАЩre stuffing our brains with junk ideology, junk science, etc.
IтАЩm curious how music functions in this paradigm. IтАЩll take a look! Thanks.
