"Neigh" - "the cry of a horse, a whinny."
"Nigh" - "near in time, place or relationship."
Just having a little fun.
But maybe the horse is mad about the media situation too.
The end of physical media is neigh
Very sad news for me personally. Honestly this struck me as hard or harder than hearing about the death of a beloved artist. With the advent of machine learning and AI controlling our music listening we are becoming a world without any control at all over our music or movie culture.

We must distinguish legality and legitimacy... It is impossible to say to ourselves if we are knowledge driven : ok this month i will not bought the 4 science and philosophical books whose price is 400 bucks in toto because i dont have the budget... I will not download them illegally...No... I will stay ignorant but in the legal path... Only rich people and rich country can afford books , damn the poor... Long life to the law... The law was designed by an unknown genius : Bernard Mandeville in 1720... A genius so great that Hayek in a special adress wrote about him : "he is our master to us all". He did not say that for Adam Smith, nor Marx not Freud who all of them borrow to the master after his death. Nobody know him today guess why ? No i did not discovered this in an illegally acquired book but it is another story.
In Huxley as in Orwell hive ignorance is the only legal direction ...
«The eggs of the laws rarely birth the legitimate chicken»---Groucho Marx Blake said it better than me using an imaginary Groucho though : “Prisons are built with stones of Law, Brothels with bricks of Religion”― The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
Mandeville explain why Blake is right ...
I apologize for my observation slightly off-track but useful for further reading by those interested by the link between these thinkers... To understand we must often look off-track anyway... We lost any physical products for an always increasing dematerialisation of not only our products but ourselves. We went from the Greek soma/psyche-Noûs/pneuma to be only the Bill Gates computing body. We lost books and vinyl for digitalization and control... We are already under control. |
Oops! You're correct of course and I'm sorry, @jsalerno277. That's exactly the type of mistake I try to avoid here! |
