This entire sequence was great. I now have something that I can point people to so we have common knowledge.
One more-related-to-this-than-you-would-first-think thing I’ve wanted to do for a while but that would require a lot of work and which might not come together, and which is motivated by this post, is to tell (15) The Journey of the Sensitive One. It would look over the story of the artist Jewel, as told, in explicit content in chronological order across her first five albums.
I skipped the link on my first read-through, but I shouldn’t have. Section 1 is mostly a rehash of Newcomb, but section 2 is absolutely phenomenal. I can kinda see where you’re going with the whole, “There is mindset that instinctively and unselfishly opposes everything of value,” after reading about The Sensitive Problem, which I assume you see as having the Maze Nature.
I have never really listened to any of Jewel’s music other than passively hearing Who will save your soul? on the radio. But I’m now intrigued after reading Hidysmith’s article and listening to The Sensitive One in its entirety. Since the full article would be a lot of effort for you, at least what would the playlist be? Maybe I can gleam additional information from just that.
The plan would be to do a close listen to determine which songs are most important; ideally one would listen to the full albums (Pieces of You, Spirit, This Way, 0304 and Goodbye Alice in Wonderland, in that order), and in general I’ve updated more and more towards ‘respect the artist once you like multiple songs of theirs, and listen to full albums in order’ but that’s a lot of music.
I think this is the minimum story of the journey I want to talk about.
You’re right about the link (the first one in what you quoted). I read a little of it originally but now, even only half-way thru still, I realize it’s much better than I first judged!
Now I’m really getting some Atlas-Shrugged-Ayn-Rand vibes from this series of posts, and especially from what I imagine ‘The Journey of the Sensitive One’ to cover.
Her language – terminology – was very different, but, as just one example, all of the villains were clearly part of the same oligarchic Maze of power.
