Random Thought of the Day

[Nyctophilia]

Just realised Tori Amos lives in Cornwall. That's totally a place she would live xD I mean she has that British baroque pop vibe.

I think she should collab with Patrick Wolf now that he's making music again because he said in a recent interview that he'd recently learnt to drive and was listening to a bunch of her albums while driving.

He has a lot of songs referencing Cornwall and I think has Cornish roots (also Irish.)







The end of this track is so good it's actually a different track or part of it called The Towans:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHftABiCnKI

Its a wild stretch of land
Such a sad place to be
When the night comes heavy down
And the sands turn to sea

Many saints have lost their love
Many a pilgrim dies unseen
In that wild stretch of land
In that fire to be free

I mean some of their music is very similar I think he deviates more when he gets into the folktronica kind of area of music but I'm not familiar with most of her music just a handful of her songs so I don't know if she has anything like that:



And I guess collabing with someone who is very similar might not be that interesting but anyway.

The logic here is just ridiculous. If you want to sell your AI product sell your AI product but it's definitely not going to lead to higher rates of reproduction or trad values lol:

Ai Women Are Women™. SeX/acc.
More dangerous than a bear and proud.

edit: just realised not accelerationists again lmfao:



The bear thing in your bio does make you sound like you're motivated by spite.

Women, when we choose to be in the woods with the ai girlfriend instead of you, you need to understand why men would choose ai.

I'm more dangerous than a bear and proud.

Oh no he is OK.

If man declared war on bears in 2 weeks they’d be extinct.

OK the bear thing was dumb but... Are these guys actually sexually threatened by bears now?

That's funny.

Penguins I could understand.

Bugs Bunny I could understand xD (so many directions to take this joke but the penguin thing was because they supposedly are pretty dedicated dads unlike bears. Also the penguins of Madagascar fanart Strange Aeons was talking about in her tumblr sexymen video.)

Pokemon I could understand- OK

This is def age restricted because she was smoking weed in the video (oh no she wasn't I forgot edibles,) smash or pass pokemon edition lol:

^ Lol this video is actually hilarious I forgot how funny it was.

The relationship between women and men is broken. The data shows that. Everyone knows it. The top 20% in the gene pool don't care. Their not caring is genetic warfare. All social action taken against Orifice, all protest, be it in the form of tweet or article or legislation will be gene warfare. Everything comes down to reproduction, and we're going to take non-reproductive sex with human women off the table as a commodity. It's gone. Can't trade money for it. Can't trade a meal for it. You could spend hours contemplating the consequences of that. Good, bad. It's going to end crime. It's going to wipe out job functions. But why? Because sex is about reproduction and everything breaks when you break that. Our roles don't make sense. Our institutions don't make sense. Nothing makes sense. When men stop seeking non-reproductive sex from human women, it's going to lead to an increase in reproductive sex. And it's going to save the world.

Edit: It kind of seems like a more lucid version of Nick Land if Nick Land was doing delusional optimism instead of horror. Like I can imagine this set to some kind of cyberpunk themed music with a robotic voice or something. And I guess that makes sense because it's an /acc account.



Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic HIV+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted LA hooker with implanted mirrorshades and a bad attitude. Blitzed on a polydrug mix of K-nova, synthetic serotonin, and female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing cops with a highly cinematic 9mm automatic.

"The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off. Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway. As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip.

[...]

Neo-China arrives from the future.

It's written in the same tone of voice you know what I mean?

This guy is like a boring reactionary now lol.

"Reactionary Nick Land arrives from the future. Sex is about reproduction we're going to end crime and also buy my sex robot."

It's not going to end crime because the men who engage in crime are mostly trying to get money and/or boost their status in a broken hierarchy or they have other sadistic impulses. This doesn't offer a compelling outlet or competition for someone who is antisocial. Also the female crime rate has been increasing for decades.

What an absurd thing to say lol.

I'm not even against AI sex bots or whatever myself but what kind of utopianist bs is that lol?

Someone else said this:

Sexbots and virtual waifus will lower female sexual market value, which means woman will need to work on themselves and what they bring to the table other than the idea of sex for being the main reason why the man wants a relationship with them. This will mean more trad values.

I don't know if this is the logic he's using but I highly doubt that outcome will happen lol.

Women can just get AI partners and sex bots themselves + have relationships with other women. It's ridiculous to think the outcome of this is going to be increased trad values or an increase in reproduction.

I think it will actually make these guys even less likely to reproduce without surrogacy or artificial wombs because women will start going to sperm banks and they'll all just select like the top rated guys in terms of their career, education background, appearence and so on. So it will be the same as now besides maybe even less guys getting into relationships with real women because the path of least residence for women is probably to find a girlfriend and go to a sperm bank - actually it's to not have kids or relationships at all which a bunch of women are already doing but yeah after that either raise the kid alone or with a woman.

In a world where that technology didn't exist and they still needed to have sex with a guy to get pregnant maybe that would make more sense but they don't so you can't gatekeep anything unless you get all men to stop donating sperm and to not have sex with women. But you would have to do that first.

I mean if by traditional values you mean women will be outcompeted for online sex work sure quite possibly but aside from that nothing is going to change in the way you think.

Once this is perfected, almost no modern women are going to be able to compete. They'll have to learn how to actually provide value to a man and not just be selfish and hateful.

It's not going to happen.

It's just so dumb though lol because everyone in this debate is ignoring that you can also use technology to get an AI boyfriend for some reason and then how is it a threat?

My wife brings a lot to the table.
More than 99% of women.

You can't compete. A talking sex box is not a replacement for women like her, who aim to give as much as they receive, it's a replacement for women like you.

She's going to divorce him eventually (statistically and considering his personality type being very disagreeable it's almost certain - I've looked into the research of what kind of personalities stay in relationships long term and it's not him,) and he's going to be insufferable about it.

Gender role conflict was related to low marital satisfaction and those who had feminine and androgynous gender roles reported more marital satisfaction. Some of the feminine characteristics, which are a combination of complex behavioral and emotional interactions, can enhance the relationships. These results can be used in marital counseling and therapy.

Neuroticism, in particular, seems the key Big Five trait related to low relationship satisfaction and a higher likelihood of getting divorced, whereas high agreeableness and conscientiousness are related to marital stability.

Women want men to want them even if the woman does not want the man. When all of the attention dries up, and you're all fighting over 2% of the male population, you'll be crying for simp attention but you won't get it.

No. That’s a cope. The fatal flaw of feminism is the belief you can rewrite millions of years of psychological evolution because you read some books. Your mental health requires the male gaze. This technology will deny you that.

This really only applies to extroverted exhibitionists.

This guy is pretty funny lol:

That is the nature of being a man. We accept that. You should accept your nature as well. Find someone to reproduce with and extract their resources.
If men can fulfill their biological needs in a cheaper, less toxic and codependent way, they will flourish with the surpluses

'Find someone and extract their resources.' Lol.

Most of men's energy and resources are wasted on the weaker end of this sexual power structure. This removes the biological power imbalance. Despite what your feminist books say, men and women are not equal. Sexual liberation will empower weak men. It will destroy weak women.

Hm I'm getting the sense here from a bunch of people that they think that this will free up men to do something else meaningful but if you're not doing anything now you won't start to do anything meaningful when you have a sex robot. This is sort of like people who argue that without work people will be more creatively productive but that's not how it works for a lot of people who are already in that situation so it's not that simple.

I think the most depressing part of this is that somehow they're not aware of just how much most people can adjust to having essentially nothing. I mean that guy (the one who has som AI product not the funny guy,) is married so wtf does he know. Especially if they start off that way which in this hypothetical future they will. They'll adjust to not having anything.

They're going to grow up creating fanfiction and playing The Sims etc and maybe some will find religion again instead of competing for male attention. Like every nerd in the 2000s and woman in a convent lol.

Oh lol he actually brought up witch covens:

That response is the future of single, childless women. [...] You can start a witch covenant. Celibate girl boss witches.

That sounds fun though. Aellas idea too but only if she's having sex with women other wise I've lost interest:

why do u need a man to approve of your lifestyle if you can use the money u get from whoring to pay nannies and co-parent with a bunch of your female friends? Get some great sperm, embryo select some badasses, live with other slutty ladies in a wealthy commune, it's the dream

sometimes internet ppl say i'll never find a man to commit to me cause i'm promiscuous. Even *if* this were true, men are giving me resources anyway, and I can cleverly use this to have kids with a much higher quality of life than if I were a housewife. win win?

Also the porn joker thread was kinda hot:

society is slowly turning me into the porn joker

the harder u try to shame me the more people i bang

yea watch me go, in my own house bangin ppl i enjoy banging. watch me contribute to the downfall of society. having a great time, a week-long afterglow and affection for my sex partners. by talking about the things i enjoy publicly and without shame im gonna make rome burn

maybe a society that can be sent into angry paroxysms by the fact that i dare to live without shame is a society that *should* burn

maybe i *should* be a threat to your way of life and norms and everything you love. maybe your wives should be happier than they are, maybe they should be sluts too. maybe seeing me having a great time will make them envious. maybe you should have been better at fucking her.

So many classics.

I usually prefer this fantasy the other way around but Aella almost makes me want to be the conservative wife...

Would I actually be into it? I don't know it's just a hot concept in general. I'm attracted to concepts.

Someone make a film about this not a porn film like a decent quality film or a book. I'm certain it exists already I'm just lazy. Who do I want to star in the film also? Hmm... A̶b̶b̶y̶ S̶h̶a̶p̶i̶r̶o̶

Oh right but I was talking about the heterosexuals.

I don't think women should freak out about this though in the way they are on twitter responding to him because it's an interesting experiment from a scientific pov lol and as he said he's going to end crime. Let the man try I guess.

And you don't need people who think like this in the first place.



Lol no but maybe.

I'm kind of mad that I'm never going to be able to hear this mashup live. Imagine how epic that would have been:

[Nyctophilia]

Funny seeing comments like this now:

Oh my god if PT ever do a reunion tour I'm gonna buy a ticket for each city in the UK and drive to every one I don't give a fuck.

I would start a war in my country and go to UK as a refugee and attend every concert in every city.

That's a original reason for wanting to come to the UK as a refugee I will say.

Well they did reunite for concerts in London and Manchester in the UK in 2022 and 2023. But in general Steven does solo concerts mostly in London I think when it comes to the UK (but I'm not really paying attention to other stuff since London is most convinient/closest to me anyway.) I went to see Porcupine Tree in Manchester though because I missed the London concert. But they also played in other countries lol. It's not like they ever only played in the UK. Also Steven Wilson tours in other places and he sometimes plays Porcupine Tree trakcs with his live band well always actually I think.

I think it's been a while since he did a solo tour now. When was his last concert besides the Porcupine Tree ones... I mean I think some stuff was cancelled because of covid but I wasn't paying close attention. Cause at one time I was going to a bunch of them and it seemed to be pretty regular and kind of took that for granted. I really want to see his new solo album live though.

Wtf when did this happen?

Sep 27, 2023

The Harmony Codex Listening Session + Steven Wilson Live Set

I didn't even hear about this? Was this like a proper concert or? I need to pay closer attention.

Following the playback of the entire 65-minute album over EartH’s amazing immersive sound system, Steven will play a unique 30-minute solo live set of music from the album, also in spatial audio.

EartH is equipped with L-Acoustics L-ISA spatial audio technology, placing the audience in a hemisphere of sound. The 17.1.8 system includes five frontal loudspeaker arrays, 12 surrounds, 8 overheads and 4 flown subwoofers, 69 speakers in total.

It looks like some kind of niche small event and not a typical concert.

Lol why is it listed as YouTube kids? Only has 91 views:



I shouldn't really watch this though I am because it's like spoilers.

Oh this is a better quality recording from this event awesome (actually not really I thought it was lol):



Also it looks like in 2021 he played a bunch of shows in the UK but one date was cancelled in Germany. Yeah just the odd random concert here and there dates in 2020 and 2019.

Looking I'm kind of glad I live in the UK now lol he definitely does more concerts here.

I saw this post on Tumblr:

I think now that I’ve gotten older and my musical tastes have shifted I can say with absolute confidence that for me personally Steven is at his peak when hes at his darkest eg. in absentia, the incident, grace for drowning

the juxtaposition of his very sweet singing voice and the absolutely heinous subject matter is just so striking I know the incident isn't talked about as much but Bonnie the cat is one of the most heinous songs ever written in the best way

And I understand Steven himself wants to try new things and good in him for doing so but I don't think for me personally he'll never give me the sheer viscera or something like raider ii again

And I could totally see where they're coming from RE: To The Bone and The Future Bites but The Harmony Codex is so amazing and like the perfect execution I think of what he's been sort of doing for the last couple of albums imo. Definitely his best electronic work so far.

Tbf their Tumblr post was about a month before that album was released lol.

Also though I really like the psychedelic Porcupine Tree stuff now.

And I don't know how becuase it's not been very long and nothing materially has changed but Fadeaway makes me nostalgic now atm:



This sounds like something kind of psychedelic mixed with something rejected from the Hellraiser sountrack lol which I love (that sounds almost like an insult but tbf Coil's Hellraiser soundtrack was rejected later on and Coil are great):



Raider II is an amazing track though especially live. I haven't seen it live in person though so far. It's a really long track so seems unlikely I'll get to hear that as time goes on. ._. I got into his music after The Raven That Refused To Sing was released so the first concert I went to was during that era too and wasn't played then.
