CLB cover art is pretty amazing honestly if you think about it for more than thirty seconds. The duality of it is what impresses me the most. On the one hand, it’s just simple emojis. Seems very low effort. But this is Drake saying that he wants the music to speak for itself first and foremost. He doesn’t need gimmicks, theatrics, or controversy. Unlike some people. Music comes number 1, as it should.
But a second glance also reveals a striking complexity. The use of emojis is Drake commenting on how the digital age has reduced complex emotions and difficult conversations previously held and expressed in person to simple images, emojis. We’ve become brain dead consumers, whose thought has been reduced by corporations to the lowest common denominators that could never possibly capture the full intricacy of our individual thoughts and feelings.
Corporations like Apple attempt to homogenize us into simple unquestioning sacks of flesh, capable of only communicating through grunts in the form of emojis, not much different than our Neanderthal progenitors. This breeds a knuckle dragging populace incapable of thinking critically about the role technology plays in keeping us under heel and subservient to our corporate overlords. Drake invites us to ponder this.
I think he’s also asking us to reflect on the burden women are forced to carry in our society, and how this burden is further complicated by the intersectional oppressions of race and gender, hence the beautiful diversity of women showcased through this art.
Drake effectively makes a statement while simultaneously asking very hard questions about our postmodern society.

we need it for cybernetic planning
if we have quantum computing we have enough processing power for centrally planned economic systems to work without inadvertently starving millions or acidifying the oceans

I disagree w the notion that central planning was the cause for famines in the USSR or China but that's opening up another can of worms lol

Most relationships are superficial and shallow at best...so lying, avoiding, or ghosting shows a lack of respect or a lack of a strong bond with that person.

Then you have people who want to sustain these superficial relationships because they provide something, but are afraid to be "real" because then that could possibly sever the relationship.

Your not wrong.

I should be far more socially adept than I am and I think it's because my parents neglected me emotionally. Raised myself with the internet from like age 11 in the mid 00s onward. Miracle I ain't an loser or something.

But I feel like gen z and earlier just stood no chance cuz of the prevalence of social media and how heavily it influences life.

I managed to live a a***og enough life for long enough that it didn't f*** me up entirely and I KNOW I sound like I'm f***in 78 years old or some s*** but NAH U JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
