About this listen

 In Episode 2, The Chaos Goes Global, Aiko Sato traces how “six-seven” escaped the internet and infiltrated the real world. What began as a random audio clip turned into a cultural wildfire—echoing through TikTok edits, classroom slang, news headlines, and even political speeches. Aiko unpacks the psychological appeal of nonsense, why humans crave shared confusion, and how globalization turns inside jokes into global language. From Tokyo to Toronto, “six-seven” became both a unifier and a divider—a symbol of the internet’s unstoppable power to create meaning out of nothing, and to make everyone wonder if they’ve missed the joke.
