Don’t ya just love those mini-movie MVs… 
Live at Yamave hotel Diana Ross:

Her best songs the originals from the sixties, a song by Billy Holliday and a song: I will survive
( don’t recall the singer, will edit and fill in later.
She featured her daughter, who admittedly was a lesser artist and admittedly more a songwriter: judging by the less then enthusiastic audience reception, and her drabber black outfit compared to what the Diva self pronounced.
Oh it was Billy Holiday’s ‘Don’t Explain’. Diana Rosse’s version was even more soulful because it’s more up to date improvisation.

So there was a correlation, between your username and her song title… that’s pretty cool man.
Maybe she needs Jesus in her life, or Mary… either will do at this point, but who am I to judge?

I came across thisv yesterday, in an IG reel I think, I think Ms Swift could do with some of that vibe/those notions in her life… how beautiful is this song?
Oh it was Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I will survive./\

…and what is it, that you need to be surviving? …another day… another near-death experience… another lifetime?

People need peace in their hearts, not antipathy and anger… a revolution that is well worth starting.
Yes a piece, a piece from all the intangibles, that need to be reassembled, before they can actually realize what those missing pieces consist of.
That is mere anathema and metaphor, inaccessible places, like sky hooks they desire to climb unto , wanting the certainty before proof of the mere probable.
Wishing and hoping has never worked , unless that certainty grows virtual proof from up above.

That’s why I really believe in the near identity of Good-goodness- and arificial (supernatural) intelligence.
Ms. Swift doubles as a political agent. Hence her positions concerning various social and political issues.
A wave of philosophical propaganda was disseminated, including in Philosophy Now magazine, soon after my comments referenced in the video. I addressed this directly on the Philosophy Now forum February 13, 2025, approximately two days ago. Here is the post in full:
“Ms. Swift has incorporated Philosophy Now forum comments, particularly comments concerning abortion, into her recent work. I have produced a Youtube video illustrating the details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIooxLwSDRs
Ms. Swift’s official video (January 2023): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8DLofLM7No

A sudden wave of Taylor Swift philosophy propaganda recently hit the press:
Taylor Swift: A Philosopher For Our Times, October 2024
Taylor Swift and Philosophy: Essays from the Tortured Philosophers Department, September 2024
Know thyself − all too well: Why Taylor Swift’s songs are philosophy, April 2024
Does it seem organic? Or more like a reaction, perhaps a financially engineered response? The timing of these publications, post referenced forum comments, indicates the latter. There was no mention of Taylor Swift as philosopher prior to this.
The sudden association of Ms. Swift with philosophy should now make sense.
Is Ms. Swift truly a philosopher?
Genuine philosophers embrace philosophy for philosophy’s sake. Not merely as an instrument for revenue and revenge.”
Last night Philosophy Now forum was hacked, overloaded with bot activity, and now the forum is gone. Suspicious?
This was one of the final thread conversations before the close. It is archived here: Taylor Swift: A Philosopher For Our Times - Philosophy Now Forum
Screenshot showing they were trying to bury the thread:

Why do you think that is?
That PN didn’t want to be associated with the situation you raised?
.
Trump’s presence has put paid to the abortion money-train straying too far from the station platform.
There are certain interests at work and they are trying to steer the situation.
They are using network technology to overload certain websites to force closure. To bring them down. They did this with Philosophy Now forum during C-virus when people were questioning the events. They overloaded and crashed the forum with thousands of bots. It’s a form of dissident control. I think it is the military industrial complex.
I am a philosopher and produce philosophical material considered to be, for a lack of better terms, controversial. They address such activity with celebrities and entertainers among other things. This is a highly controlled and manipulated society.
To reveal those methods is to reveal an aspect of society not meant to be revealed. There are factors at work in the world most people have no clue of.
It is beyond Swift. It is beyond Trump. Certain interests attempt to steer and control them too.
However yes, it does look bad for Philosophy Now as well because it exposes their efforts as part of a smear campaign. Which in a sense it is. That does not help their image nor their business.
I ask that readers review my work, if it is found to be substantial perhaps archive it. Archive any other material found to be substantive as well. As we can see online material is susceptible to removal.
Some of the links in my previous comment redirect to archive.org archive pages because I copied the text from the archives. The links and videos appear in comments above.
The song is one thing, the subsequent wave of propaganda is another. In the Philosophy Now thread I was addressing all of it as a whole.
The song and accompanying video themselves are layered and complex. I will evaluate those more in the near future.

Yes and such intractable disseminations within the deep state, would give some pause to worry about any but minimal recognition to variable representation to the resources used not to mention direct intuit of the source.
As illustrated in the following thread I believe to have decoded Leonardo’s Last Supper painting:
https://www.ilovephilosophy.com/t/the-da-vinci-code-last-supper-symbolism/49281
I first realized the symbolism in 2019:

And shared the discovery on internet forums:
https://www.fanforum.com/105895552-post9.html
Here is the Youtube video:
You’re already aware of the Philosophy Now forum situation and Swift’s song as mentioned above and here so there is no need to reiterate. However Swift’s music video also follows the sequence of symbolism found in Leonardo’s artwork. From left to right:
The video begins with Swift lying down in the dark. There is fire like on the left side of the Last Supper painting (down, dark, fire).
About halfway through the video, the middle of the video, she is crawling on the floor which is halfway between lying down and standing up.
At the end of the video she is in a cloud up in the sky. Notice the big fish swimming around signifying water, just like on the right side of Leonardo’s painting (up, light, water).
The sequence and imagery correspond with the artwork symbolism revealed above.
It could be interpreted as signifying growth, progression; as leaving darkness behind and rising to the light.
This specific allusion is more speculative. However the imagery fits.
It appears to be a response, an artistic, musical, multifaceted reaction to my Philosophy Now comments and other philosophical efforts. This also explains the recent philosophical material involving Ms. Swift:
https://philosophynow.org/issues/164/Taylor_Swift_A_Philosopher_For_Our_Times
https://theconversation.com/know-thyself-all-too-well-why-taylor-swifts-songs-are-philosophy-226167
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Taylor-Swift-Philosophy-Philosophers-Department/dp/1394238592
Swift’s music video concerns both negative and positive connotations reflecting the concept illustrated in Leonardo’s art and existence itself. Hence the recent association of Swift with philosophy and in particular Swift as philosopher.
