Don’t Copy that Brainwave ~ A PSA for the future
So I was listening to Mistadobalina by Del tha Funky Homosapien when I had this thought, will we be able to sample each other a few years from now? Ruminating on this, I eventually landed on the Don’t Copy that Floppy song and decided to turn this whole fra gment into a PSA too.
Fra Gment
old school rap -> Sampling and Remixing of music
recent developments of agents, personas, ai -> what if today or in a near future we could remix Personalities, but also our own personalaties, directly in our brain
add traits from other personaliteis, real or invented,
neurallink
as they say, you are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with
what if that could be turned on and off at will, when you are in the right context, "now i remix my personality with these"
maybe you could even do it without them being aware, you rob personallity traits
remixing of images, is already happening, using some models with a click you can make an object X in the style of artist Y
the world has become more bland thanks mcdonaldization
colors are disaapering as well, become as the tv tuned to a dead channel
will not just the our environment become more
if we have true personality copy possibility, will we end up like Borgs with one great hive mind thinking and doing all the same.
maybe we/the government needs to replicate Don't copy that floppy campaign, Don't copy that brain campaign
Lyricized
Yo this one goin’ out to all the remix minds
sample heads, cypher kids and digital alchemists...
I was vibin’ to Del Mistadabolina
chillin' with my synesthesia
Then I caught a flicker
brainwave cinema feature
Not just Del nah it’s Monkees James Brown P–Funk
Sample stack skyscraper
I ride the bassline trunk.
Old school taught us steal it with flair
Flip it twist it make 'em stop and stare
That’s sonic graftin’ cut-n-paste soul
Now we remix minds yo that's the goal
Don’t copy that brainwave don’t Ctrl+C the soul
Remix with purpose let the weird unfold
We ain’t Borg bots nah we out for flame
Your mind’s your mixtape don’t make it all the same
Neuralink thoughts personalities blend
Load up the traits like you got famous friends
Cardi in the morning Aurelius at night
Oprah on standby when I need that light
Got Lasso jokes and Pooh Bear calm
Switch personas like apps on my mental palm
You are the five that shape your mind
But what if I swap 'em on demand real-time?
Modular...
Modular...
Modular...
Personality patch initiated
Who are you now?
Yo I don’t ask just absorb the glow
Traits through osmosis remix that flow.
From your swag to your tact to your rage and grace
I slice a piece wear it on my interface
Image gets styled like Van Gogh on a turtle
Now brains on the block feel universal
But hold up—gray goo culture comin' fast
Everything bland like AI-generated jazz
Don’t copy that brainwave don’t Ctrl+C the soul
Remix with purpose let the weird unfold
We ain’t Borg bots nah we out for flame
Your mind’s your mixtape don’t make it all the same
McCities McVibes same filter same frame
Scroll clones buildin’ that forgettable fame
What’s the point of mind freedom on tap
If all y’all choose the same download map?
So sample with soul build with care
Mix Terry Pratchett with a software stare
And when they ask who I borrowed from
I say: The universe baby had it on display
Yo keep it funky keep it strange
Remix your brain but let it change
'Cause who wants a world where we all the same?
Don’t copy that brainwave that’s the name
Don’t copy that brainwave don’t Ctrl+C the soul
Remix with purpose let the weird unfold
You got that spark that glitch in the game
Your mind’s your mixtape go make your name
