Reminds me of the song, "Welcome to the Internet":
"Could I interest you in everything
All of the time
A bit of everything
All of the time
Apathy's a tragedy
And boredom is a crime
Anything and everything
All of the time"
- welfvh 5y agoExcerpt from a poetry slam I did 2 years ago: What are we paying, when we're paying attention? We pay with what we could've done and what we could've learned. We pay with the people we could've met, and the conversations we could have had. We pay with every future us, that we could've been, We pay with the values we did not live by, We pay with the goals we did not reach, We pay with every opportunity to become more fully alive, that is now gone. We pay with the moments of joy that never happened, We pay with the peaceful sleep, and the refreshed feeling in the morning, that we didn't get. Because we were busy paying... attention.

- handrous 5y agoThis features in Bo Burnham's latest comedy special (though with Burnham, maybe comedy belongs in scare-quotes, since his last two specials have leaned much harder on wry commentary than actual laugh-out-loud humor) produced largely on his own and filmed almost entirely in what looks to be a one-room guest house of his. It's on Netflix and I'm sure the part with that song is on YouTube somewhere (hahaha).
- sodality2 5y agoYep- it's totally different from his previous work but I absolutely loved it. Especially "Welcome to the Internet", because I can see firsthand what the song is about. Here's the video on Bo Burnham's own channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1BneeJTDcU
