“We seem to invest so much time and belief that those things are stable in some way - something to build towards, or something to use to better understand where we come from. So often those expectations are just so out of line with how the universe works. I don't see it as a productive way of seeing the world, so, when I deal with that stuff formally - or when I try to allow it to inspire me - I'm open to it twisting itself up.” WorldTryingUniverseBeliefInspireExpectationsProductive Author:Daniel Lopatin
“I always fear with music that it can be too immediate - too geared toward a "get addicted to it and throw it away" mentality. I get so melancholic once I fall out of love with a piece of music, and I try to make music that I think will at least able to grow with me as I get older.” ThinkingTryingFallFalling In LoveMentality Author:Daniel Lopatin
“I'm interested in philosophy, I studied it, and I also admit I try to read things that are way above me. I have a limit: I take what I need from it, and I do find that some of my favourite philosophical writings tend to be poppier. I admire smart people who are able to describe things simply or in a human, readable way.” PeopleWritingTryingPhilosophySmartPhilosophicalAdmireFavouriteSmart People Author:Daniel Lopatin
