What would happen if audiophiles took over the world?

[Yeeterkeeter]

I had a very strange dream last night, related to audiophiles taking over the world. I don’t remember much, since it was a dream afterall, but I do remember that the world economy collapsed because we spent all the entire treasury on hifi. What do you guys think would happen

Every shrine, every church would be turned into Made in japan hifi shrine. Service every Sabbath Bloody sabbath

 

[Yeeterkeeter]

I’m inclined to agree with that. The outcome is either destroying the work economy or 8 billion people achieving audio nirvana

Who say's that isn't already the reality?

Its not. Putin instead war would blast stereo every Day and would spend millions of dollars on cables instead of rockets

WWIII over whether Digital or Analog is better!

8 billion people

I think it would be:

8 billion people having...

4 billion wars over...

2 billion 'opinions' over what's best until every last one of them are killed and there are...

0 billion people left on earth.

Yes, the human race comes to an end over having an opinion.

(wait til you hear my sequel to that scenario)

I think that might already be happening online tbh (both sound good)

 

[Yeeterkeeter]

Maybe all of the audiophiles will unite to build the largest speaker on earth, but it’s so big, loud, and amazing sounding that it destroys the world, kinda like in the second hitchhikers guide to the galaxy book

I agree...I think it has overall.

Sound in the format of music is played:

24/7 in malls
in operating theatres
background music in movies
to inspire soldiers
to sell products
soothe people in hospitals
pacify pets when left alone
settle down babies
teach students to read
at parties
dance gatherings
cultural meets
sports arenas
concerts
funerals
music stores
TV series for effects
weddings/birthdays
elevators/airlines
offices
at work... the list goes on; infinitum.

The quality may not be there....but sound is; depending on the definition/degree of "audiophile".

That's the thing. Anyone who hears can hear music, its something different to Experience it. If audiophiles took over the world, our goal (if it can be called that) isn't to hear music, its to experience it. That is what everyone should be able to do

Well expressed...in poetic-fashion!

Call it living the lyrics, rather than just listening to them.

in malls

What are those?

 

[Quadman2]

What are those?

Got to go to a "History Book" GC... to get those answers from the past!

Audionerdvana?

We know from past experience that audiophiles are smelly and eat a lot of Ramen. The economy would collapse because we would have 8 billion people not showering and buying soap or shampoo, yet stripping all the shelves of the grocery stores of Ramen and Cup of Noodles.

I have never eaten a Ramen noodle, so I guess I am not a REAL audiophile

I prefer Roman!
