About this listen
Imagine a system that reads a crowd's biometrics—their heart rates, their brainwaves—and feeds back the perfect sermon, the perfect hymn, to create mass harmony. It's peace, scaled for the masses. The only catch is that the machine needs to learn what powerful emotion feels like, and it’s a very hungry student.
So, this is a thought experiment about what happens when the code meant to unify millions is built from something intensely personal—a private memory that was never meant to be shared. What remains when you peel back the layers of the algorithm and find the ghost of a human feeling powering it all?
