Or is this just another SBF lie?
If you are going to believe the BS header video, you might as well believe this BS story.
It took 6 years to defeat the bad guys during the second world war.
Most of the guys that defeated them had little to no military training at the onset of the conflict.
The NIMBYs in that scenario were marketed to with either assured oppression, or war with a "better" future. Same can be done today.
That's for the ML algorithms to decide.
If you are 60 years old, you learned how to monitor your spending in the late 1960s.
Same skill here.
"I can organize a music collection the way I want...AND take it with me wherever I go?"
Somewhere along the line "convenience" displaced "freedom".
"Why manage my own collection when I have Spotify or Apple Music?"
I suspect the pendulum will swing back at some point.
No crashing in my backyard?
"Is the alternative way to express these sentiments?"
Well I heard ol' Neil put him down
Well I hope Neil Young will remember
Spotify don't need him around anyhow
Park was open, but empty. Quite the surreal experience.
In Bradbury's story, the vast majority of residents of the Martian colonies returned back to Earth when (atomic) war was imminent, leaving Mars all but deserted, and the Earth destroyed.
I found this hard to believe, but this set up a really cool ending.
It doesn't seem so long ago we didn't have much of an ability to pick what music we listened to. This will seem alien to younger HNers, but it is true. You listened to what was played. Sure, there were records and 8 tracks et al, but portability was limited. Not being able to choose what we listened, when you listened to it, or how you listened to it to peaked with disco - the backlash hit simply because you could not escape it...it was EVERYWHERE....radio, tv, movies, commercials...it died of overexposure.
Then for a hot minute - about 35ish years - we had complete freedom to choose how and what we listen to. Starting at about 1980 with the Sony Walkman + cassette, you could organize music to be portable the way you wanted, at a price of time and effort. This price dropped to almost nothing by the mid 2010s with mp3s and mp3 players. Complete musical freedom!
The problem? Even "almost nothing" wasn't good enough, we demanded it to be "nothing". So here come the streaming services to rescue us from the burden of work required to maintain our freedom....

Time will tell.
The future is bright: wheels in space, underwater trains, and everyone gets a spandex jacket.
Can you image how much money Amazon Retail loses every year due to people wasting time driving when they could be on Amazon.com ??
