Deep dives
The Power of Language and Control
The left and academia have an unyielding love for academics and language correction. They constantly correct language to control the conversation and divert attention from the actual subject. The rules about language are not there to care about certain groups, but to trip people up and correct them. This control over language is a form of authoritarianism, and it reveals a willingness to accept authoritarianism in society.
The Magnifying Glass of COVID
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a wake-up call, revealing the true nature of politicians and citizens. Lockdowns and restrictions have magnified the tendencies of those in power and their desire for control. It has also shown the level of obedience and sovereignty among the population, with some blindly following the rules and others resisting. Overall, it has highlighted the divide in society and the varying responses to crises.
The Changing Nature of Language
Language has become a tool for control and manipulation, with constant changes in terminology and the labeling of certain words as taboo. The left and academia often impose new language rules and correct others in order to push their own agendas. Terms like 'little person' and 'person of color' are often used as alternatives to supposedly offensive terms, but they ultimately mean the same thing. The constant changing of language rules reflects a desire for control and a way to maintain power over communication.
The Effect of Peer Pressure and the Importance of Critical Thinking
Peer pressure can be both positive and negative, depending on the peers and their values. It is important to be in touch with one's own critical thinking and to have the courage to follow it. While some forms of external influence may feel satisfying or important, it is crucial to think independently and make choices based on personal values and beliefs. Encouraging critical thinking and self-responsibility is essential to maintaining autonomy and resisting undue influence.
The Guess Who's journey to success and the influence of diverse musical genres
The Guess Who, a Canadian rock band, shares their journey to success and the unique influence of various musical genres on their music. The band members mention being influenced by artists like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and The Beatles. They explain how their songs, such as 'These Eyes,' 'American Woman,' and 'Undone,' display a range of styles, including ballads, jazz-inspired tunes, and hard rock. The band emphasizes their love for different genres and how it shaped their sound, ultimately captivating audiences for over six decades.
Significant moments and experiences throughout The Guess Who's career
The Guess Who reflects on significant moments and experiences throughout their career. They mention their disappointment at not being able to perform on The Ed Sullivan Show and the validation they received when they received their first gold record at Sardi's restaurant in New York City. They also discuss memorable performances on iconic shows such as American Bandstand and Wolfman Jack's Midnight Special. The band shares their appreciation for connecting with audiences and the power of music to evoke emotions and create lasting memories.
