The Three T's of Systemic Degeneration: Tacky

Mo Facts introduces the first of Neely Fuller Jr.'s "Three T's"—Tacky—describing it as the baseline behavior the system of white supremacy encourages in people of color. "Tacky" is defined by a lack of style or good breeding, and the hosts argue that any behavior exceeding this baseline is often derided as "acting white." This classification is presented as a tool to keep non-white populations in a state of perceived inferiority.

AI Regurgitation, DJ Taste, Decentralized Curation

Adam Curry and Moe discuss the limitations of AI in music, arguing that it currently only offers "regurgitation" and "remixes" rather than true art. They emphasize that 85% of people have poor taste and rely on curators. They advocate for a decentralized system where trusted human DJs provide curated discovery.
