Interesting assessment about the war in the Middle East… thank you for sharing.
Although, I was interested in the title of (and which lured me to) your thread: “acoustic neural-toxin”, and hoping that that topic would be analysed in the article/podcast. The topic of “sound toxins” interests me, especially all that crap that is forced on us everywhere we go. I have wondered a lot about that, why that is being done, why are the public spaces (including all the grocers) all doing this? It seems so very deliberate, that our soundscape is being engineered, a kind of non-consenting imposition, a kind of mind rape (as a toxic soundscape has profound effects on one’s mind, how one navigates this world, what one purchases, how one handles life’s challenges).
Is it a kind of (war?/commercial?/political?) tactic to attempt to keep everyone in a state of constant depression, a depression people can’t define whence its origins?
Is a mass public depression useful for all the various side-businesses that have built up livelihoods on this phenomenon? (recreation and prescription drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, psychiatric businesses, coaches, counsellors, junk comfort foods, noisy junk movies that blast off one’s ears, prisons, etc., etc., each of which has side tributaries feeding a gargantuan pharma industry)
The unfortunate people who have to work in these places, exposed to it their entire workday – many of them glum and listless.
That feels so much like kind of weapon directed at the public, in all public spaces, and I like how you put it in your title: “acoustic neural-toxin”.
I too, loathe the toxic engineered environment in which “citizens” are forced to cope with.
This Michael Yon may as well be a Gizar, as he shares much of the Gizar attitude.
Music, being a major factor.
I was searching for a more accurate rendering of it, and finially came across it:
“Accoustic Neuro-Toxin[s]”.
