I agree with >80% of what’s written here and jump for joy knowing that someone else is thinking these thoughts―pushing these thoughts to the fore.
Those who experience the emotions described by Michel might cherish this Longtermism playlist that I’ve curated through a few hours of experimentation. (I’m not looking for self-advancement here. Rather, it is my hope that this musical inspiration be a “gas pedal” for others as it has been for me over the years)
Figuring out the intersection of EA and music is such a brilliant thought that I had yet to have, but yet getting to connect two worlds I am so deeply involved with seems quite interesting to me, and I love that you gave this a go. Want to open it up to be collaborative so I can try to place songs that evoke a similar feeling for me? If not, nw, I can begin crafting my own.
But also, I noticed that there are multiple connections to visual media throughout (Day One—Interstellar, The Night We Met − 13 Reasons Why, Ashitaka and San—Princess Mononoke, etc.) and given I think I resonate with the connected thoughts to these other works, was wondering if maybe it would be good to make a sort of “Compassionate Longtermist Emotion Building” list of movies and shows? I can easily see this list including Interstellar and Mononoke (I have qualms with 13 Reasons, but fully feel the beauty of the song) and feel like I have at least a couple more strong additions to go from there (beyond the obvious Don’t Look Up). Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
