Let's play this game - stop the clock right now, and then query every existing database of all known (even just to one person) recorded music, total up the known duration of same, and then figure how long would it take to hear all of it, listening 24/7. Even if you started in utero, could you live long enough? Prompted by the sudden and humbling realization that even with a lot of years spent listening to music 24/7 (usually figuratively, but on a few occasions literally), I've not heard shit, not really. I know, quality, not quantity, etc. Not pretending otherwise. But damn, I'd have to wager that no matter how much you've heard, there's still more that you haven't heard, good, bad, unknown, etc. Pretty sure this is a natural condition, less sure if it's natural to be aware of it? Especially since all the existing databases probably don't have all the known (even to just one person) recorded music in the world documented. So...it's good to know more, but impossible to know everything. The math is not in your favor. Therefore, judgement. Or, perhaps, guessing. Fuel for growth, fuel for stagnation, fuel for liberation, fuel for paralysis, some, all, none of the above, if there's a hell below we're all gonna go? Take me to the bridge? To nowhere? Geek on.
