i visit battleofthebits after a year. cant listen to music off top bc ai scrapers have definitively fucked up the web by spamming every single corner repeatedly. as ive said over and over, theyre pillagers and colonizers. these tech bros. they have the same mindset of running everything to shit

He made a point how we link to think ancient / old people as dumber. They were incredibly resourceful and smart no matter the age. When we engage in art and culture, it’s the same cross generational dialogue we have across human time-space. It’s like our spirit is eternal. We aren’t any different
