Why does everything seem so slow to progress? Or am I the one with over-expectations? For example;
I think the launch is going to be Jan 1, then a week late, then mid Jan, now it’s end of Jan.
Prototypes are still being turned into production models.
Banks got delayed with opening , signing, setting up.
Shipping packaging is delayed.
Like EVERYTHING is constantly having to be pushed forward and I’m starting to get upset that it feels like I’m always fighting for things to happen.
WHY? Is it me? Life throws wrenches at me all the time, but that cumulates until now. Everything feels beyond a crunch. It’s starting to get to me. Like the cancer thing is not on my radar mostly, because I have so much shit I am trying to pull together.
And then, I jump out of bed and check notifications, and there’s usually an interesting headline or daughter pinging me first thing to deal with before I start my day… but this morning. I AM CONFUSED.
Headline news as I got out of bed: some music artist on a music platform got pulled because he was complaining about a non music artist on the platform spreading disinformation. Twitter rules up and the music platform loses 25% of its value overnight and closes its customer support portal because everyone is trying to cancel their account.
I mention this to Keith; big mistake. He starts the day complaining that people are complaining about the wrong thing. And that Neil Young or whoever he is, is an important voice or something that millions are cancelling over the wrong thing.
I do not understand what he is trying to say.
I don’t even try to understand.
Because all I see is a Twitter trend that some music platform is being boycotted in droves over spreading misinformation, to the point where said music platform is trying to stem the tide by turning off all customer support until it blows over…
… and Keith is complaining about fans not understanding message or poetry or moral rights and wrongs. Anyway, he is still complaining as I write. Like that’s going to improve my understanding.
The mass behavior is reacting to misinformation. And Keith is on about something to do with loyalty and poetic rights and wrongs and should have dones and should have beens. The word “Should” is coming up a lot. And that’s all I can understand.
Whenever I hear the word “SHOULD” I get suspicious that the deliverer of such word is trying to be a parenting, lecturing, son of a bitch. Telling someone what they “should do” instead of accepting they do not, and should not, have control over other people. Should is a trigger word such that when I hear it - immediately anything one says after is garbage to me like auto mute. Don’t hear it. Don’t get it. It’s like an emotional stance that has no adequate reasoning, argument, or contextual framing. Underneath I cancel the person out whoever says “should” infront of me. It’s an automatic reaction that stops me from understanding anything further…
I become worse than a cold shoulder. Words become meaningless bubbles and phonetics framing some kind of emotional rage that I don’t quite get coming from the aggrieved other person. A person that says “should - lecture notes here “ becomes automatically muted because their emotions are talking. I just can’t compute this level of reasoning, because it seems to have no foundation in reality.
To me. Headline news was: people are cancelling music platform for making money off misinformation. End of story. Makes sense.
To Keith; this musician is well Honour we by those that love his message/music/ loyalty blah blah and people are cancelling for the wrong reason because they are not doing the right thing because there are not enough of them and they should be doing something else if they live this musician enough and want to support him blah blah misplaced loyalty points blah blah fans are political blah this is cancel culture going wrong and hurting the wrong people blah. Blah. Blah.
I do not understand. Is there any reasoning within his “argument?” Is Keith arguing with me? Is Keith philosophizing? Wait, he thinks he is a great thinker and I am not. He thinks I do not understand music and that music lovers are prone to unite over something whereas I do not understand.
I just don’t care. I don’t like music. It has no message for me. I don’t even like music lovers. I do t get them and I don’t get what they think is so special about thinking the same as each other over some emotional outlet. That’s it isn’t it? They all want to feel the same? Huh.
So what does this mean exactly? Keith was lecturing me for about an hour this morning and it literally bounced off me like shit off a shiny shovel. I do not understand the meaning he is trying to convey, other than he is dead cert about the news being LATE, fans reacting slowly, and irrationally, over some wrong thing, some wrong reasoning.
Wait. How does this affect the headline as I understood it? People are quitting with their money, and moving to any music platform to show their distaste for purveyors of misinformation.
How can this be measured any other way, other than with how much impact in $$$,$$$’s this ACTUALLY HAS? Is Keith’s framing really important or necessary or even correct or worthy of understanding? Do I have to make that effort?
How would it benefit me to understand his emotional display about loyalty to the right thing? Ummmm please. I’m really trying to understand. But was Keith belittling me in some way like I’m stupid? Was he putting me down? Does he really think I don’t get it or how the world works? Next time. I won’t even bother staring any interesting headline of some company losing subscribers in droves. I find it funny.
Surely logic is winning here if a company LOSES money for allowing fake news, falsities, dangerous brainwashing material, to go on?
Or am I missing something?
