i think im having abstracted and off-putting aesthetics because i dont like social forces and dont want incentive gradients to tear at me and want them to leave me alone

This artist is not bad. Thank you!

i like the lyrics:

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected, and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated
Oh please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I was thinking, that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we'd give it to everybody who'll have some faith
So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory, that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way

it expresses how fragile honest interactions are and how i would like people to treat me more often

there was also a nice article written about some of the decision theory content of the song

i don't have the attention span/sufficient expectation of value to comprehend that article.

Thank you for the song. I kind of lost track of Jewel after she played Lilith Fair. I should fix that.

I am a combative person by nature, and had a long slow process of learning to respect that that was not the only way to be (I'm not sure I'm quite done yet, either). There is time for choosing aggression later, but once you have chosen it for the beginning, folks who are sensitive are already not listening to you.
