When it comes to choosing what content to consume, make the assumption that you live under the regime of your country’s enemy - in my case, that would be China, Russia, North Korea, etc. Assuming that your country isn’t using the same propaganda tactics on its own citizens is wishful thinking. What makes your world superpower any different? That automatically eliminates all news and most spoken word formats. Even Christian religious formats are in cahoots with conservative (which according to Moldbug, is a LARP of its own) thinktanks, so caution is needed there, too. Even alternative platforms born during the wild west of the internet like YouTube have been neutered into serving “appropriate” content. Appropriate for whom? The Cathedral and the corporate sponsors, of course!
What about music? Music is the bastard, non-conformist child of propaganda because of its ability to derive pleasure and entertainment on its own, regardless of the coherence of its lyrics. Granted, even instrumental music has a cultural background and communicates mutually agreed upon symbols, but that can be severed from its (poisoned) root pretty easily. Super-progressive universities still put on Christmas programs even though the majority of their audience is neither Christian nor living in a state of grace, with lyrics mostly intact. This is an example of the opposite, actually - sacred music being used in a secular context. EDM is not satanic; it’s simply the affiliation with the culture of LSD, MDMA, and other psychedelics, which by definition are satanic.
Here’s a thought experiment - raise a kid with no access to the outside world besides a radio. What music will they like? Without the socialization aspect or proclivity of simply choosing to like what their friend likes, the music that the kid ends up picking can be said to be operating under a higher order appeal to order and aesthetic. Now, the kid isn’t aware of that. He’ll need to be at least 12 to articulate something that pretentious (lol). And of course, where you choose to play out that experiment plays a huge role. The best effect is seen if you plop him or her in a foreign country where all the lyrics are incomprehensible. After all, Hollywood is really good at selling your own dreams back at you, which for an 8 year old, are usually fleeting and impulsive. Any lyrics that embrace this default state of man will seep their way into any kid’s playlists.
