I have been praying for you, Scott.
What a downgrade. We are infinitely richer, we’ve cleaned the air, lengthened our lives through the miracles of modern medicine and yet we live in worse places.
I don't understand the point. I suppose this decreases the cost/speed/artistry of video production in a major way, makes that marketplace even more saturated. But if the idea is a social reels feed, it's not clear to me why that matters. Will people really have much appetite for sort of pointless videos of things that didn't happen? Do people seriously want to sit on their couch and scroll these for an hour? Kinda gimicky.
As more short-form video content proliferates, I catch myself craving––and thus pursuing––the total opposite: Movies from the '90s and earlier (before slop studios & pervasive shit acting––even A24 is becoming an unreliable indicator of quality); prestige TV shows (The Sopranos); in-person events; turning phone off and keeping it out of sight. I'm not unique in wanting this. People don't love the physical/emotional/psychological feeling they get from living entirely inside a screen, especially one feeding them short, cheap, quick content that asks nothing of them. We want to be useful, not vacant overweight meatsuits.
My 4th album “Pale, Through the Window” is out today
My job was to tell the story of how emptiness, confusion and near nihilism, was transformed into certainty, clarity, hope and awe. Love by way of God first, reflected and confirmed further by the love of an incredible partner.
