How does your work in music help people who are in the divergent community?

Well, music is a really interesting thing.

It's one of those things that There is this expression that you hear people say and people have posters on the wall.

I'm pretty sure there's a poster in here with the with it.

It says like music is a universal language.

And I've always had mixed feelings about that expression because it the idea of music is universal in the sense that every society that has existed as far back as history goes has come up with some kind of music.

There has been no a musical societies.

But I just want to make sure that everybody knows that shorthand, that acronym.

We have never had more access to music, movies, and media, and yet we've never been so close to losing it all.

And in the world that we live in today, where so few actual people have so much control over these big media conglomerates and have the power to take things off of streaming instantly, I think we have to ask ourselves, why would they do that? Is it a control thing? Are they hiding something from us? Is it censorship?

[upbeat music] And now our TED Talk of the day.

Bone music is a relic of a very interesting time in world history, a time when the governments of the Soviet Union restricted access to American music like jazz and rock and roll so tightly that in many cases they wouldn't even let their citizens own or listen to this music.

Now, the young people of the Soviet Union wanted to hear this music so badly that they figured out that they could actually bootleg American records by cutting sound grooves into discarded X-ray plates, in many cases preserving the original image of the X-ray.

Now these records, if you want to call them that, they looked awesome.

They didn't sound so good.

I, I, I don't think you're particularly surprised to hear that, but they look cool, and that's important.
