I know this is likely to be a primitive take on the energy crisis we are facing. But more data definitely doesn't mean less energy. More electric cars doesn't mean less energy. More iPhones don't mean less energy. It's a broken and false narrative.

Call to sound studies and ethnomusicologists. Are Singing Bowls several thousand years old traditional instruments or food bowls that Americans picked up in the 70s whilst backpacking and took home?

Today Oxford Brookes announced the closure of its Maths & Music departments, & that many colleagues in others are at risk of redundancies in a ridiculously short timeframe & insulting VS scheme: in English, History, Film, Anthropology, and more to come. All doing great research.
