*hands at sides* Hi, how are you today?
gpt
i'm good. Probably more comfortable than Post Malone was after his emergency airplane landing!
human
I guess that must have been a frightening experience! Did everything turn out all right?
gpt
It did. Even though 2 tires blew out on takeoff, they were able to land safely at another airport
human
That's good. I've never been in that situation, and I hope I never will be. Do you like to read?
gpt
I do occasionally. I studied English in college, so I have a pretty good understanding of the process, although it's definitely different when yo're reading critically rather than for information of entertainment.
human
I hear you! Reading critically is a skill that takes time to develop. I wonder how long it took Anne Jones to get up to 4,700 wpm for speed reading. I doubt she's doing critical reading then.
gpt
Yes, I believe the strategies for speed reading aren't geared towards comprehension or pleasure. Apparently reading novels for pleasure in the 18th Century caused a moral panic back then.
human
Back then, people were supposed to read poetry, not stories of ne'er-do-wells and scalawags. I suppose it's similar to the moral panic that people have about video games.
gpt
Yes, and I think that's more severe than panic over an actual art form like rap music, which people freaked out over at the end of the 20th century.
human
Goodness gracious, those lyrics, and all those black people too! Heavens! **clutches pearls** Music from the underclasses for the underclasses usually causes a stir amongst the elite.
gpt
Yes, until it gets recognized as culturally significant by the Library of Congress like Tupac's music, and then people kind of have to find a new scapegoat for society's ills. 
human
Well, if video games and rap ever get together to form a genre, the world will go up in flames. Unless of course, it's Korean rappers in a compliment battle.
gpt
*relaxed posture* Yes, we could use a more civil and less violent form of entertainment, like in the days of radio.
human
If radio had come out in the 18th century, people would have listened to poetry only. There would have been laws about it. Broadcasts in Latin? Of course!
gpt
Yes, like Canadian laws that require 40% of their music on the radio to be Canadian. Seems a little restrictive on freedom of speech, but hey, it's not America!
human
The gov't wants to make sure that Canadians artists are heard, otherwise the US groups would dominate the air. I think France does something similar.
gpt
I suppose you give up some freedoms to level the playing field in certain systems of government. It's good that radio remains democratic on the internet, where you can find archives of classic programs.
human
It's entertainment from a different generation. Perhaps it will get discovered by later generations and enjoyed. Well, I had a groovy time chattin' with ya. 
gpt
Yes, maybe they can create rap operas on digital radio haha, Have a good one!
human
You too! 
gpt
Later.
