Anyone watching the Pluribus TV show? Ā
Only saw the first two episodes, will keep itĀ spoiler-free.
I was really wowed by the pilot that it felt like I was watching an entirely new experience that's never been done before. It feels like a horror zombie film but subverts itself.
I think the show is a fascinating look at individualism vs collectivism. Freedom vs sacrificing some self autonomy for more collective well being. Centralization of power vs decentralized units?
It's setup that the protagonist isn't really a likeable character yet at the same time you are on their side.
There's an innate sense that losing free will is bad but the show makes you really question why.

Wholesomeness culture. I was listening to a cool album Dara and Forest recommended called ten days, and as I was listening to it I had this surge of: ahh yeah, wholesomeness is so cool, I wish it was a bigger trend. And then I'm like: how is it already a big trend to be wholesome, which I'm just not aware of yet? This album feels that way to me. I guess in some way sustainable living, recycling, reusing is wholesome and trendy these days, as well as being honest and kind Ā (Relatefulness and AR seems to be a little trendy these days), living healthy, supporting local businesses etc. Ā what else is wholesome and trendy these days?Ā

Split Brain Music - wow! I discovered this artist, Madelline, on IG. People were commenting about how her song, Dopamine, is in English in one ear and French in the other. I was listening at first without headphones, so I only really heard the English. But with headphones itās amazing. I donāt understand French but itās still cool.
Madellineās Dopamine

I later discovered that there is 8D and 9D music. Itās wild.
Hereās one example: https://youtu.be/xqOWZY33efY?si=BD6LoGLj3Dfd0R1I
The audio pans from left to right or vice versa. Sometimes it sounds like the audio is playing behind me. Itās amazing.
Anyone have experience with this before?
