AAAAHHHH !!!! We desperately need more police of this kind and genre !!! Mid '80s I had a tape with exactly these songs that kept running almost 24/7 ... Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks also for the link to the Phrase Finder; one to be book-marked for any future reference 👍👍👍
Musk even started a business called "The Boring Company" which makes exactly that ...
I was finishing my social work studies and starting university for my degree in criminology...
and on the shelf in front of my desk, the tapes were labeled Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac, The Scorpions, Pink Floyd, Queen ! , E.L.O., Alan Parson's Project... among the "classics" (particularly a Handel period...) and guitarists Julian Bream & John Williams...
Thanks for bringing back all these musical memories ! 🎼🎸🎵🎹💖
Thanks for all these names ... nice memories indeed ...
Criminology ??? ... Good gracious !!!
In current times, you must be freaking-out 24/7 because you're being delivered a myriad of facts and events that can impossibly be all considered for study on a global daily and nightly basis.
A complete paradigm-shift has to be implemented if Western societies want to survive this utter mess ...
The West, who considers itself the apex of civilizatorial achievements, has been severely misled and will have irrevocably to face "The Great Filter" if the shift doesn't take place from bottom to top in the next few years ...
Absolutely, there's plenty to feel overwhelmed about, not only as a criminologist, but as simple citizen (you know what is said about ”specialists”, they know a lot about almost nothing - while philosophers know almost nothing about everything 🤣 …)
But I stopped freaking out, it’s useless and overall, I’d say, ”pretentious” - to believe one could mentally circumscribe all this mess.
I’ve come to take some distance realizing what is at stake is something like ”eternal fight of good vs evil” - and that will probably be so as long that humanity exists. Except that sometimes, a quantum leap occurs.
And that’s where I hope with you for this paradigm shift… I will come - I’m afraid there will be no ”soft way”, the question will be ”how” hard and how long it will take.
"Life was easy when it was boring ..." is the lyrics of a group who'se name I forgot ...
Maybe this ?

… makes me think of the sentence ”may you live in interesting times” (my turn : don’t remember where I heard it !)

and from these 2 pov, indeed we live in ”non-boring” and ”interesting” times… 😵💫

BINGO !!!
Long-lasting and wide spread famine usually leads to changes ...
