  1. wonderful. now I'm starting to feel repulsed by patreon for how it's creator praises facebook, twitter, and the rest of the brainwashing machine for "trying to be the best at getting creators paid" and says that now 75% of kids aged 6 to 17 years old want to be an online video creator like it's an amazing thing while calling it a cute "naive optimism". where the hell are we headed?

    I find it hard to believe that miners keep mining if the need for it is reduced substantially.  The pointless machine only grinds along because we've created a pointless need.  Re: the meat thing - if I were to stop eating meat tomorrow it wouldn't effect anything, because i'm just one person who's probably not going to produce offspring.  If I had influence over a large number of people, or were responsible for the direction future generations might take down my genetic line, it would be another story.  The two arguments are pretty much the same thing, anyway.  My justification for eating meat is shit, and so is any justification for feeding into this stupidity.

    well, let me chime in cause I'm vegan so I gots that street cred. as much as you may like to use that logic to your advantage (even if you don't take it seriously yourself) the analogy here is actually of the drop of water. you might say it's small, but with enough of them you form a whole body of water. and if every water drop figured it wouldn't make a difference to that whole that body of water would never be. vegans don't usually get into it thinking they're joining in the winning team (maybe morally they do, but that's a whole other conversation), there's a big chunk of faith and hopefulness and proactiveness there

    when the price of the currency goes down the relative value of mining in comparison to electricity goes down so some miners shut off.  when NFT transactions occur there is no suggestion that the price of ETH changes either up or down thus there is no affect.  this meat analogy is false, also I hope everyone who likes the analogy is vegan

    but wouldn't you say the public interest in NFTs (or lack thereof) contributes to the value of ETH? if more people decide to invest in it that must have some effect on inflation and probably in the mining business itself, as there's more demand and therefore more opportunity for miners, no? this is an elite game anyways, this whole NFT thing is just a new hustle by the shot callers of the world, they have the means to fuel the speculation as much as they want, and a decentralised monetary system only gives way to easier and more efficient foul play, and if most average citizens get their heads done in enough with the regular banking system simply out of ignorance, imagine the potential of blockchain for market and financial manipulation. I mean, I don't understand much of this so I might be going full QAnon here, but the way this thing absolutely exploded from almost out of nowhere really doesn't feel "organic" to me

    Perfect Blue (1997) - first anime I've actually enjoyed + it had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Would definitely recommend.

    A Look Back: Perfect Blue. A Viewing of Satoshi Kon's Animated… | by  Patrick Coyle - Simmons | Medium

    everything by the late Satoshi Kon is worth watching, especially Paprika (which my dog was named after)

    didn't like the trailer but this was really good:
     



    and here's Paprika

  4. actually the NFT may be worth more... not because it makes sense that real estate is the most valuable asset possible, but because the ruling speculative class wants it that way

  5. the guy is just doing his own thing. every now and then someone comes over and simply manages to push the right buttons. and that's what he did, through his music and imagery he felt should be associated with it. he's not trying to push his music into the zeitgeist, he already did, and the fact that so many people talk about it, either good or bad, just proves it. not only that, but - character judgement aside - the pieces of art that strike a chord in the cultural zeitgeist are usually the polarizing ones.

    I mean, it was also a matter of timing, this combination of factors came out just as pitchfork was beginning, which by itself is polarizing enough. so his album being such a controversial part of their own story which became a egotistical tirade of sorts between some pretty self-absorbed people only adds value to it.

    I tried that website and you need a log and pass

    it's locked because it hasn't been officially launched, so the date might refer to that. I thought the login credentials could be the within the nft but after trying every combination I could think, I don't think it's the case

  7. it might not sound like a big deal nowadays where every sound artist academic tries to imitate him, but remember this was 20 years ago. kinda like Eno with ambient music

    I saw him play in a festival in Rio before I knew anything about him, the venue was a church and I must say it was quite an experience, transcendental

    I dig this kinda stuff. Could be SC compression but it's coming across a bit muddy. 

    SC does fuck things up, especially being a demo, not really that polished, I was just tryin to lay down the idea to see how to make it work, just needed to send a rough mix. I'll keep that in mind!
