“Living a creative life is a hard to advocate for in times of war and insanity. Perhaps by design.” That is one chilling thought...

Chilling and likely even more insidious than I've stated. This is a simplification and sorta obvious, but constructs sold as "bigger than ourselves" are actively used to manipulate people to act against their self interest, or even the collective best interest...such as engaged, vibrant, creative, peaceful communities.

At the same time, I believe strongly that some things are worth sacrificing for the collective good. It seems like a paradox, but I think it is more about the subtlety of truth. A concept that is generally bad politics.

Cheers friend!

Amen to the subtlety of truth. I sometimes find myself trying to make sense of things, and then cyclically remember how much money the war machine generates, and (tragically) much is explained. I wonder how much the insanity machine generates 😬

Amen indeed. Maybe confusion machine or fog of war machine is more appropriate than "insanity machine"...but they're all part of the same mechanism.

Stop all the presses, call the Guinness Book of Records, Fan Fiction for a novel in progress, not yet picked up by a publisher, must be a first of firsts! Agents take heed! Love the retro Bosso. Well done Ryan and thanks for creating such a wild tune for that vile Bosso!

Yes, keep retro Bosso in mind for the retro version of the video game Sphearen 12! It's just a matter of time.
