The mirror in our bathroom lies to us every day: In truth, we’re much older and uglier than we think. And that’s how everyone else sees us. So they see “reality.” But what is reality, anyway? Everyone imagines the world the way they want it to be.

Even at 78, Jean-Michel Jarre still looks as enviably youthful as a spring chicken because he’s the product of expensive cosmetic surgery. It seems as though time has passed through him without leaving a trace.
Roland Orzabal of “Tears for Fears” has also provided catchy tunes that are hard to shake off throughout his life; however, I myself never liked their “tearful” sound and never owned any of their albums, even in the 1980s.
To me, despite all the hype, their music is run-of-the-mill mainstream stuff, not to mention the trite “lyrics.” His duo was part of the “Second British Invasion” as an export hit designed to squeeze money out of the American market.

But time hasn’t left him unscathed either (which, in turn, allows us to draw conclusions about ourselves); the former MTV pop star now looks (despite his partly Latin ancestry) like an average but likable British retiree.
Suddenly, even he seems kind of likable to me—after all, we old farts have to stick together, especially in the age of “digital revolution” . Besides, it’s somehow comforting to see even these “stars” swimming in money rotting away.
Now Roland has written his “astrological autobiography”—a curiosity in and of itself. Anyone who wants to sell a book these days has to come up with something special. In it, he apparently lists all his “untreated childhood wounds.”

Even Professor Jiang is at a loss for words at the end of his lecture when a homo—who, by his own account, traveled a long way to be there—asks his only question: Does the Chinese DIYS scholar have any advice on how to overcome an occult sex trauma?
Austin will be declared the heartland of America, Jiang is absolutely certain of that. Furthermore, 90 percent of the world’s population will starve to death. Happy is the one who isn’t among them. In Japan, however, all 100-year-olds are euthanized with LSD.

A curiosity: A German guy from Swabia had booked “Madonna” years before she became a global sensation. The drum machine you hear could actually be Oberheim’s DMX, which was released in 1981, but it sounds “more digital.” It sounds like the one Robert Görl didn’t use until 1984 on his minimalist solo album.

Furthermore, some of the arrangements can’t possibly date back to 1981; they sound more like they’re from the mid-1980s (possibly added later). After all, 1981 was still before the (for better or worse) “digital revolution” of the DX-7 and “sampling” in 1983, which largely supplanted analog sounds—at least temporarily.

I’ve known the name “Agitation Free” for several decades. I’ve never listened to their music. Yesterday I gave it a listen for the first time, and was amazed at what a positive effect it had on my soul a “cosmic” experience. I had it playing through my earbuds while I slept. It’s a truly wonderful, organic expression of an ethnic soul.

Just a few years later, the Jews concocted “punk” as a degenerate disturbance and slandered the classically trained (and still imbued with the European spirit) “progressive” musicians as “BOFs” (“Boring Old Farts”). Since then, “pop music” has been nothing more than an assembly-line production of artificial sonication.

As I keep saying, the kids are alright.
I’m right on the edge between boomer and generation x. Anyone my age and older has been brainwashed by 3-1/2 channels on the TV when the weather was good, movies you went to the theater to see, and the Jews at least as firmly in control over what we saw as now, I’ll argue more so.
There’s some hope of people my age Noticing but the young ones, they’re really Noticing.

If you dig deeper, you’ll discover that almost all modern drugs were invented in German-speaking countries (heroin, cocaine, LSD, morphine). Naturally, I immediately asked myself how this correlates with German sobriety. Of course, it doesn’t at all—and that’s precisely why it does. It’s Faustian alchemy.
AI replies:
Many of the most influential modern psychoactive substances were first isolated, synthesized, or commercially developed in the German-speaking world. Morphine was isolated from opium around 1804–1805 by the German pharmacist Friedrich Wilhelm Sertürner in Paderborn. Pure cocaine was first extracted from coca leaves in 1859–1860 by the German chemist Albert Niemann in Göttingen.
Heroin (diacetylmorphine) was synthesized at Bayer in Leverkusen in 1896–1898 by Felix Hoffmann and Heinrich Dreser and initially marketed as a safer alternative to morphine and as a cough suppressant. LSD was first synthesized in 1938 by Albert Hofmann at Sandoz in Basel, Switzerland, with its psychedelic effects discovered in 1943; it was later distributed under the name Delysid as a psychiatric research drug. MDMA (Ecstasy) was first synthesized in 1912 by Anton Köllisch at Merck in Darmstadt as an intermediate chemical compound, long before it became known as a party drug.
This creates a striking paradox when set against the cultural stereotype of German sobriety. The resolution lies in recognizing that these substances were not pursued for recreational intoxication but as products of rigorous pharmaceutical science and medical progress. Morphine and heroin were hailed as breakthroughs in pain management; cocaine was celebrated as a local anesthetic and stimulant; LSD began as a tool for psychiatric research. The drive was not hedonistic but Faustian: a rational, almost alchemical ambition to master nature through chemistry, to extract essence, refine matter, and transcend biological limits.
The term sober in German discourse has itself been critiqued as a problematic metaphor for abstinence, implying lack rather than gain. German sobriety may thus be less an absence of intoxication than a cultural negotiation with its ambivalence: controlled, rationalized, and pharmaceutical—until control slips. This Faustian alchemy captures the tension between healing and harm, knowledge and danger, mastery and hubris that defines this chapter of scientific history.
