I agree that we need to be ever mindful that we all share a single globe -- one
island in the midst of what may as well be a lifeless space -- and that further
fragmentation is not helpful towards keeping ourselves alive and our foundation
intact.

But a degree of fragmentation seems unavoidable, perhaps even necessary. People
argue about stupid things, and we need a certain amount of space from each
other. Also, I think a fully-unified planet would be a ripe breeding ground for
the most totalitarian government the world has even seen...

It's psychedelic rock. He only put out two albums that I know of, but it's
excellent stuff if you're into that sort of thing.

Another interesting musician is one named Gorkem Sen. He invented an instrument
called a yaybahar. This is my favorite performance by him:
