What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

A mix I put together (33 good cuts in there):

First, don't ask me how I know these things, but, more frequently than is commonly known, creativity and genius is marked by, shall we say, eccentricity, instability and a certain interpersonal difficulty; peculiarities of temperament, as Edgar Allan Poe put it. A common characteristic with such folks is what used to be called manic depression, but what is now known as bipolar disorder. It affects folks to various degrees, and across various times. Affected folks swing from dark times to bright times, sometimes too dark and sometimes too bright. However, there is a slot, slightly above normal, where creativity and insight burst forth like fireworks. In the slot, one sees things differently, intractable problems become solvable, and new ideas and combinations slide into view. Here are folks where such is fairly common: musicians, composers, artists of all kinds, poets, writers, leading edge scientists, etc. Such folks would do almost anything to stay in the slot. For musicians, surely they will want to tell about this part of their lives. This mix is intended to touch upon this idea, and begins with a short introduction, to prepare us for the music it presents. Please enjoy...if you can.

Is the second item on the playlist Karen Carpenter ?

First item could be an ad for micro dosing on LSD.....

I mentioned Tim F*ckin Minchin in a youtube live stream chat a couple of nights ago.
I've been getting Tim Minchin suggestions since then.
Really AI? Scraping suggestions from live stream chat now?
That's not horrifying at all.

Woman I know had the same experience from a phone call
started receiving push ads for a product they mentioned , Coincidence ?
She thought it was creepy.

Occasionally I will do a search for the "dating habits of lesbian shrimp".
- no push suggestions so far

Few months ago, I asked free Grok the probability that humans are a random event on earth
Grok refused to process the request on several tries
A few weeks passed, and I mentioned it in a conversation with my brother who has a Grok subscription.
- Grok returned a calculated answer almost immediately,
- Infinitely low probability, "but it could happen"

IMHO the planet and solar system, a least the moon
was made for us , or arranged for us
The band we can exist in is so infinitely small.
The Garden of Eden or In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

The fact that they fly drone copters on Mars is interesting
the blades need something to push against.
Or is it that island in Canada ?

Not a face on Mars
is co located with the not pyramids on Mars
surrounded by not nuclear bomb craters
