I like another reactor because of his knowledge of some music, and his strong opinions about it. I never liked Atlas Rise, but I can appreciate a musician or band when they have the skill and tenacity to accomplish a good performance. Atlas Rise is a tough piece! TW pulls it off wonderfully. This guy can say it better than I can.

How does belief/disbelief in free will affect behavior? Well, belief in free will promotes all kinds of misbehavior.

Wow! But that’s only half the story. The way I’d put it, belief in free will promotes all kinds of behavior, acting as though we have it. “For better and for worse”, if one must place values on behaviors.

I don’t want to critique much, especially when I can’t predict the direction they’re going. Quinn sounded pretty nervous to me in Evolve.

But she had much more in control for Breathe. So we know she has great singing ability. Recording-wise, it sounds like her mic was either not on, or it was way too low in the mix. I think the mic recording the…[Read more]

I’m not betting, yet. Lots can happen in nine months, taking out Trump and/or Biden.

Ha, I posted it first, man. But your link is better.

Just swung by to post their reddit sub. Dang, it’s been around since Oct 17, 2012.

Today the sub also mentioned Sick video dropping on Feb 2, 2024.

I thought one of us posted most of the above already, but maybe I didn’t actually follow through.

LOL, your response is more creative than mine would have been. I concede.

That’s cool, and makes me smile. I’ve noticed before how great their marketing to westerners is, making me think they’ve hired some savvy westerners to translate, and maybe they have a marketing department with westerners employed. Speaking…[Read more]

Speaking of which, in the case of compiling recordings from two nights into one video, it just hit me how Pau’s click track on the laptop right next to her is what enabled those perfectable synchronizations. Among her other passions a…[Read more]

Of course, all of the videos the reactions are based on are easily found on Youtube without the reactions and comments.

Good point. I wish all reactors would include a link to the original performance. So… in case our topics live a long time (or eventually get indexed better), I’ll try to remember to include links in each post to…[Read more]

I’ve seen headlines about China producing fembots, but I haven’t clicked on any, so I dunno if they’re meant to be exported to countries that they deem to be the highest threats to the CCP. (Who needs to worry about alien fembots taking over, unless aliens are allowed sell and ship via Temu?)

Wisdom. Only 45 seconds.

I guess I’m not into Classic Rock as a solitary genre. especially when it’s programmed as a canned, “Best Classic Rock Of All Time” list of 100 at a time. I’m sure it’s fine for a lot of people, and any suggestions you and I make are probably helpful for a wide range of people. I do see several of their other sets-of-100 lists. Click once, and it…[Read more]

OK, he’s smart, does his research, and has good arguments, beyond my own. Except, the new variable I mentioned, he didn’t mention:

AI robots are a likely result of intelligent meat.

But also (my new suggestion), the best AI will be able to hide its own existence, poisoning our (and other AI species’) measurements.

The above might be added to…[Read more]

Well, he does look handsome, and intelligent. I clicked to see what you meant by 3:47 = a “long” discussion, and you’re very right. Seconds on the clock are not significant, in this case. I’ll watch the first video sooner.
