So far that's Grover Furr, Jason Unruhe, and my Dad that didn't like it. Never meet your heroes folks.
i linked him to https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/in-defense-of-china-as-a-socialist-state-w-ajit-singh , which is pretty pro click, and he said he "already made a response to Ajit Singh". I'll link it for the sake of fairness: https://maoistrebelnews.com/2017/10/14/china-is-not-socialist-a-response-to-ajit-singh/
might read it later but I did like that podcast.
edit: remembering now he complained about RAIM's stance and that it wasn't "third worldist" when asked about Settlers. I don't think he's read it.

this is just silicon valley building a monument for itself but there are other art projects tackling the same theme. early pogues member jem finer made longplayer.org and it seems brian eno was involved with both these projects.
Longplayer is a one thousand year long musical composition. It began playing at midnight on the 31st of December 1999. The composition of Longplayer results from the application of simple and precise rules to six short pieces of music. Six sections from these pieces – one from each – are playing simultaneously at all times. Longplayer chooses and combines these sections in such a way that no combination is repeated until exactly one thousand years has passed. The six short pieces of music are transpositions of a 20’20” score for Tibetan Singing Bowls, the ‘source music’. These transpositions vary from the original not only in pitch but also, proportionally, in duration.
a long time ago when my musical tastes were shifting from metal to indie and i had just come online looking for music (audiogalaxy anyone?), this site was streaming and its been streaming for 18 years nonstop. i didn't get drone back then and this site was just some online curiosa but it has given me hours and hours of pleasure since then. still gotta stream it the old school way!

thanks for the clarification
