I think a lot of other people since and during this time have gotten interested in writing what we can still call experimental music. It's not commercial music.

Those became really clear with Einstein on the Beach.

Otherwise, you're just going to be lost without them.

It is unlikely that many people will take to heart the conclusion that coming into existence is always a harm. It is even less likely that many people will stop having children. By contrast, it is quite likely that my views either will be ignored or will be dismissed. As this response will account for a great deal of suffering between now and the demise of humanity, it cannot plausibly be thought of as philanthropic. That is not to say that it is motivated by any malice towards humans, but it does result from a self-deceptive indifference to the harm of coming into existence.
