David Gilmour on Syd Barret and Pink Floyd

Also gives a good idea of how much hard work it took to get Pink Floyd off the ground. Watch the the whole thing. There's a really nice bit at 25 minutes 20 seconds. The interview up to that point is a bit wooden, but as soon he picks up a guitar and plays a few notes it gets going and the subject turns to the mysteries of the creative process.


See Hybrid Digital Analogic Music and Light Synthesis.

And at 16 minutes 42 seconds Mark Knopfler talking about rehearsing and the creative process.


See Nikola Tesla and the End of The World.

The Systemic Cause of Pandemics

These three videos explain what I wrote in this post:  Plan B™ For Covexit . The environment in which a virus evolves in modern man is an artificial environment created by our efforts to innoculate ourselves against threats such as flu, tuberculosis and other diseases. So in man , the viruses which survive the artificial selection processes of human virologists are the ones we don't know anything about, because we only just created them and we don't know what they could do next. See  Hysteria and Ignorance Kills  and also  Joe Scott on William James Sidis . For more on the natural evolution of viruses, see  This is A Big Part of Our Problem and  Coronavirus A War Against Humanity? How to fight a pandemic: be like water.

Well, so they start competing and the next thing I know is they're offering free phone sex for aliens and robots, ... And I know why this happening, and I'm not going to say, except in so far as it has to do with issues of privacy and a radio podcast called The Mother of All Talks Shit!

The B Movie Economy

I made the following before I saw this: This is what I think: And it's not just the movies, it's everything you do that's crap. It's all just meaningless garbage and stupid lies from weak people who don't know anything else better. Here's an illustrative example. Ambition is nothing to do with becoming a millionaire and changing the world, it's about doing pointless stupid exercises you set for yourself. Watch this: Then this: See  Hopi Prophecies and the Fifth World of the Australian Aboriginals , then this: Then this: Then this (see this discussion about the actual ending , and this on the director's cut ): Then this: And then congratulate yourselves on how well you're doing.
