The Resonance Project
I'm doing a big project to gather people's views on a piece of music that was composed to be multisensory. I've worked over the past few years to realise this, and it's ready for listeners/viewers.
Here's the page: https://resonance.lauraritchie.com/
Please join in, and share your views. It's a 13 min piece of music and it is made to be heard, seen, and felt. I hope to get 1000 replies from across the world. Please boost!

Noting that "to be an anti-vaxxer, one must be simultaneously credulous and distrustful—credulous of hucksters, and distrustful about empiricism," Adam Serwer coins the term "gullicist" to describe many Americans of the post-Covid Trump era — entirely skeptical of science, documentation, research, entirely gullible when it comes to hucksters and charlatans peddling nonsense.

"The cynicism is highly selective: Gullicists see everyone’s hidden motives—except when they don’t. They are able to reject any claim rooted in actual evidence—whether in science, politics, or history—while embracing the most breathtakingly absurd assertions on the same topics."

"Indeed, documentation is often taken as further evidence of conspiracy, while assertion (that this or that will 'detoxify' your blood or that COVID deaths were exaggerated) is taken as gospel….
Hannah Arendt wrote in The Origins of Totalitarianism that 'a mixture of gullibility and cynicism is prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements.'”

"Reliable information is both more available and harder to find than ever—and those who spread misinformation have been rewarded with positions of power, platforms they can exploit to further pollute the information environment. ...

"The coronavirus wasn’t the only epidemic to hit the United States in the past decade. Americans are also facing a bizarre epidemic of gullibility and cynicism—gullicism, if you need a portmanteau—that is drawing people into a world of conspiracism and falsehoods, one where facts are drowned out by a cacophony of extremely loud and wrong voices."
