    he thought he was a genius long before lot's of people started saying he was a genius. his ego was expanding large as the universe before he even picked up a mic. he said "i've never read a book" and people are surprised he's talking about old news like planned parenthood's founder and all that. dude is bi polar with no meds and no head shrinker and not a well considered thought in his head. a billion dollars and people hanging on his every stupid word.. 'media sensation'. it's a shame there's no way to mute him on the internet. shit like this makes me want to be a monk and go live like the unabomber but with electricity so i can make my tracks w/my laptop.

    go to hardware store, get some metal ducking.. just like a 4ft section. put mic at one end and record or playback things through and record the output. under rail road tracks can be interesting if there's a rail road overpass near you anywhere. any construction site in a downtown area. a few years back they were pounding these columns into the ground for weeks and the sound of the huge jackhammer on the crane or whatever echoing around downtown tall buildings was intense. when it rains find a place w/a metal roof. heavy rain sounds massive and violent. long hallways, stairwells etc.. can be interesting if there's big metal doors... the sounds of the doors closing.. any door that has a big spring on it can be pretty interesting. like this. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzOFLNp96i/ barn doors, big metal fans can be cool if you turn them off then drag something across the protective fan cage thing. machine shop, wood working place a lot of people have done the block of dry ice thing.. where you take dry ice and press metal into it while recording. makes lot's of bendy type weird sounds. it's a popular thing to do but always sounds interesting imo. there's several playgrounds in portland w/permanent installed marimba type instruments for kids to beat on. some of them sound really cool. if you get a couple cheap mallets at a percussion store (they're pretty affordable) any kind of thing that's metal outside you can play it and get a tone our of it.. big garbage bins behind malls, home depot, lowe's etc.. any big box store.. if the bin is unlocked you can open the door at top and let it slam. best thing to do is just carry your field recorder w/you all the time and you'll notice all kinds of sounds.. elevator doors etc and can make a library of your own captured sounds. i'm way up on my caffeine level so yeah.. ?

    logic doesn't enter into all this too much. there's a bunch of different narratives out there.

    it's robert evans who does 'behind the bastards' which is often really good. regarding the people mainlining the weaponized outrage.. yeah.. a lot of them are just not getting it.. how it works. they think they're immune. it's not just the right but also the left and yeah.. there's a whole bunch of racists sprinkled in.. but it's so far beyond what we think it is or will become. if you read neal stephenson.. in one of his recent books "Fall or Dodge in Hell" which is a good book.. there's a section on culture and social media and what it becomes.. he said he had that part written then trump got elected and social media was so much crazier than what he'd written so he trashed and wrote that part over again. his vision of it in that book is amazing and fuckn crazy as hell... but lines up really well as a trajectory where shit could go.

    why are you being so obtuse? (not a real question) those are two good movies. i especially love Ghost Dog. Jarmusch can really bring it sometimes.. well.. more often than not. i listen to podcast once in a while. it's nice when waking up and having coffee or ww/headphones on when fixing a fence or something. there's other times beyond those two specific instances but i'm not going to list them. i'd often rather listen to podcast than read the script especially if there's guests who do really good impressions of henry kissinger and make smart jokes at the right time. as for FB and twitter. i use twitter. i like it some times. .it's not about finding some utility it's about how the algorithm feeds people things to make them angry and outraged because that's the thing that is most likely to continue their engagement w/the app/site etc. and essentially this became weaponized. .but i know you know this.. it's not about people smart enough to know what's happening and avoid those behaviors. anyway.. it's an interesting essay he wrote and then read which for me was a reminder of some things and funny/fun listening in some ways and as said i like when tech gets poked w/a stick sometimes because they're so insulated they don't often have any idea wtf is actually going in people's lives who aren't working in their world. or whatever.

    just fckn listen to it or go to the site and look for a transcript. you don't even know what he's saying and you're shitting on it. he talks about all the problems you're mentioning. stop being a child and getting emotional over a headline yeah.. we know all about jobs. it's well worn carpet. this is acknowledged by literally everyone. i guess i could transcribe the thing for you but it'll cost you like $30 an hour and i type really slow. edit. .you can take your umbrage all your umbraging day long.

    did you listen to his thoughts on it? he compares what was promised vs what was delivered. how george jetson had a 3 hour work day 3 days a week etc etc etc.. but if you want to argue with him he's on twitter. he makes a fair argument acknowledging the good things and reminding that a lot of what exists was built on roads paved and funded by tax payers. also compares steve jobs to musk, zuckerberg etc and how they just don't know what they're doing. jobs had a skill of knowing what people really wanted and whipped his developers until they delivered on it.. zuckerbeg etc don't know what people want and are spending billions trying to convince people they should be on meta or whatever. anyway.. it's a good 26 minute essay worth listening to. it's thought provoking. edit: basically it's a failure by the standards that predated it.. the standards put forth by 'visionary' people before the capitalists and libertarian types got married with venture capital and blah blah blah. edit edit: also, i enjoy someone saying that and dedicating airspace to it and think the tech industry doesn't hear that enough. they should get poked w/a stick more often. venture capital and stupid high stock valuations got everyone drunk on big dollars.
