Music to Ponder To

Music to Ponder to is a playlist to help you sink into the deepest parts of your thoughts, to the point where the soundtrack is the only thing you’re thinking of whenever you’re thinking of whatever you’re thinking about. The more thinking, whether it’s about important stuff or not, that we do as humans, the better we become. I can’t think of anything to think about that couldn’t in some way spiral into a useful revelation about themselves or the world around them.

I have sat in thought many times, but easily the most outrageous thing that I have ever used brainpower to do is sit down with a friend and spend two hours trying to figure out what the opposite of a chicken nugget is. Two hours of figuring out what is the opposite of every single aspect of a singular chicken nugget. And we did it. The opposite of a chicken nugget is now something I know. But that conversation and the conclusion to it also allowed me to understand why the opposite of something like love isn’t hate, it’s apathy. I’ll elaborate, at some point.

Some of the tracks on the list might give you some ideas about what to ponder about, some of the tracks might just help you focus on those thoughts you can’t quite pin down, and some of them might do nothing at all until you hear that one note that just makes everything click. Hopefully you can use this list to go on a journey into the recesses of your mind and come out with a new perspective. Go ponder your cosmic chicken nugget.
