Avril Lavigne's entire thing at the time was that she, while being a young female pop star, writes her own music (at least partially) and plays an instrument. That would probably still count as progressive™ today.

The content isn't though. I mean I could be wrong, but I don't think this hits the zeitgeist enough to go viral in 2024

That has less to do with the social values and more to do with the extremely 00s aesthetics. You could keep the main message of the lyrics and the plot of the video the same and just update everything else, most importantly the genre of music and fashion design in the video, to something more recent and it could still go viral. I don't think things really go viral for being progressive™ unless it's progressive™ in an excessively cringe way and it goes viral from people Making Fun of it.

This makes me think of a cute game in which you may say just words that are short.

@silver: did you ever post a comprehensive summary of what Dennett gets wrong about consciousness or is it just random bits of criticism about individual points here and there?

Yeah, here.

[silverspawn]

In retrospect I was trying way too hard not to make enemies with this post and be fair to Dennett; if I could rewrite, I'd be a lot more negative. But alas.

Anyway I don't think it's like a coherent theory with a few holes; I don't think there is any good argument about consciousness in the book. The only good points are all about unrelated things.
