Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

I don't know if you've watched that one.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

Yeah, and the music for Succession.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

Oh my gosh, it's so incredible.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

And so we've talked about, okay, would it be as good if the music had been produced by a machine?

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

And maybe it would in that context.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

But when it's purely a musical listening experience,

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

I'm actually going to hold down a quote from my wall.

Making Sense with Sam Harris
#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age

#476 โ€” The Bittersweet Age
