\u201cSpider Toupet\u201d by Port-Royal<\/a> from Tympanik Audio<\/a>\u2018s Emerging Organisms vol. 4<\/a><\/i> compilation album.<\/p>

I\u2019ve been thinking about this video for days. It felt like something lifted out of a fairy tale but really, this idea is so rich and so true that it\u2019s been told again and again. I can\u2019t help but think it has a special relevance for us as we enter the post-scarcity economy, at least n the digital sense. There is so much free media (music, literature, movies, etc) out there that it devalues itself. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll reach equilibrium at some point but in the here and now it\u2019s unsettling and unsatisfying.<\/p>\n\n
