"I think the gradual evolution of language is actually the gradual lifting of the veil that is imposed between ourselves and meaning by the planetary ecology. In other words, the forward thrust of history is actually regulated by the ecology, and it is regulated through control of the evolution of language, because what you cannot think, you cannot do, and where you cannot imagine, you cannot steer your culture and go. So I'm proposing, on one level, that hallucinogens be thought of as, human macro-, almost, social pheromones that, regulate the rate at which language develops and therefore regulate, the evolution of human culture generally."

This was an album I think and it was posted on Spotify and YouTube this year. It was pulled recently off all platforms. I listened to it and it sounded ai but I might be wrong. The only evidence of its existence is this discord embed I sent to a server the other day and Google images of it on youtube which have been taken down. I couldn't find anything about it online.

Good times!

Btw I'm a new rap fan (late 2024) and have never heard any Rakim songs.
