i'm reminded too often of the part in Will Wood's BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA which goes "you think ideas spread because they're GOOD? no, they spread because PEOPLE LIKE THEM"

i'm reminded too often of the part in Will Wood's BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA which goes "you think ideas spread because they're GOOD? no, they spread because PEOPLE LIKE THEM"
there's a line in Will Wood's BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA that sticks with me, it's like
"you think ideas spread because they're GOOD? no, they spread because PEOPLE LIKE THEM"
"you think ideas spread because they're GOOD? no, they spread because PEOPLE LIKE THEM"

And BlackBoxWarrior also, because why not. This actually came out really fucking good imo. Nevermind my mispronounciations and screwing up lyrics.
Anyway post stuff when you do it.

A conversational dodger can maneuver around a question.
And BlackBoxWarrior starts questioning something even larger: who gets to decide what counts as a good explanation in the first place?

So you’ve got this really interesting three-part chain:
Artful Dodger → conversational evasion → BlackBoxWarrior
The Artful Dodger is skilled at maneuvering around a situation.

That’s fascinating alongside dodging.
In BlackBoxWarrior, the speaker constructs this absurdly elaborate medical/psychological examination around a person who is supposedly being objectively analyzed.

Yes. This actually pulls the Tally Hall “Artful Dodger” idea into a much bigger Will Wood territory.
The 2024 re-release makes the connection especially explicit because Will Wood literally retitled BlackBoxWarrior (OKULTRA)

"[ideas don't spread] because they're good [...] they spread because people like them" is a delightfully cynical line in Will Wood's BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA and the sense it's presented in is "bad ideas gain currency because people who should know better find them intrinsically appealing"

Bear Ghost's cover of BlackBoxWarrior is very good but it's also a somewhat different vibe - i think it's the use of synths instead of piano

i need to listen to more from both artists
probs my favorites from Bear Ghost might be Starkiller and Big Town Banky Blaine's Rockabilly BBQ
my favorites from Will Wood thus far would be BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA (of course) and Marsha, Thankk You For The Dialectics, But I Need You To Leave (sic)

i've had reason to think of a line from the spoken word section of Will Wood's "BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA" that feels depressingly incisive
"What, you think ideas spread because they're GOOD? No, they spread because PEOPLE LIKE THEM!"

where the (dubious) psychiatrist says (paraphrasing) "[ideas don't] spread because they're good; they spread because people LIKE THEM"
