Psychedelic elites with their high falutin theories. Most people just want to shove shit up their nose, shift someone and puke on their shoes.

This may or may not be the case but your argument is that the desires of the masses are manufactured. I'm not unsympathetic to this point of view but I don't think it explains everything, it's too easy a move. beatlemania, facebook, McDonalds, autotune, cocaine, tulips, avocado toast, Nelly Furtado, The Avengers, Premier League football, xanax...

WHY THESE THINGS AND NOT OTHER THINGS?

I think chance plays a larger part than we'd like to admit, some things just come along at the right time.

I seriously agree with this comment, feels like everything went downhill after 2010.

I would want to take the music from the 2000's and swap it with 2010's music.

Cos they're all great

Of course if you'd included the big bang theory here I'd not have been able to say this

But who doesn't love McDonald's and Xanax?

I took some Xanax once it was one of the nicest feelings I've had off drugs, felt so snug and unworried, no wonder it's popular, I thought, if it wasn't bad for me I'd be doing one a night before bed.

It's like that perfect two drinks point you were on about the other week.

You know what I really like though is dark chocolate digestive biscuits. I ate some on acid and I'd never felt so thankful in all my life.

Things happen cos preconditions for things happening are met.

Yeah, but there are loads of things which aren't happening too. It's not as though everything happens and every condition is met, it's just that the things that go somewhere are the things where certain conditions are met.

Trump ran for President in 2000, failed miserably and most people don't seem to be aware that it happened. Trump ran for President in 2016 and the convergence of economics, social media, Hillary Clinton and various cultural issues allowed him to win. If you were to remove one of those factors, he would probably have lost once again.

I've never enjoyed eating while tripping, it makes everything taste bizarre.

One of my earliest experiences on that stuff was going to a Japanese restaurant and it was extraordinary. I often like black coffee at the tail end of things too, just to make absolutely certain I won't be sleeping that night, just in bed staring at the wall with all the lights off for about 6 hours.

I remember being in McDonald's, eating fries, and the salt was just overpowering, but at the same time didn't really taste like salt. It was just a really intense and unpleasant sensation.

I think musically the beatles are unremarkable at best but even so I don't find your/droids explanation entirely satisfactory. 'They' try to shove all sorts of things down our throats. A lot of it we spit out.

doesn't make sense does it though? the beatles were marketed as maybe the first world rock band. not sly stone or the jbs. if the beatles had stuck to the states and britain they would have been spat out. it was the pan global imperial ambition that has given the beatles an excessive auteur sycophantic adoration.

Someone once gave me some crisps up on the hill and I couldn't figure out what flavour they were. Could've been anything. I never saw the pack and have wondered ever since.
