What I Am

A song by the band Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians.

It’s a really stupid song, the lyrics don’t even make any sense. The music is okay. But the song is really dumb, if you think about it… they never even had a hit ever since.
What I Am - When I was a kid in the 90’s I remember on FM pop (Adult Contemporary) radio stations they would almost exclusively play this song over and over again, along with “That’s All” by Genesis and “You Gotta Be” by Des’ree.

When my mom drove me to school every morning in her car, they would always play those 3 songs on the radio almost everyday in the 90’s and it was so annoying, you would get sick of hearing ‘em.

Hym "Cared enough to check and see what I had to say though didn't you, bitch? Yeeeaaaahhhh you did... Hey, when Jephthah's daughter was burning alive, you know... Shrieking in agony... What do you think was going through it's mind? What about when Lot's daughters were date-raping their father? Did it... Was it stoked? Is that what it's into? Ha! Hahahahahahaha!"

Empathy for one. In the absence of empathy, if the amount of energy takes for you to get me to do a thing supersedes the amount of energy required for the thing to be done then it wouldn't be practical for you to make me do the thing. Additionally, my awareness of my own mortality makes it impossible for me to be perpetually made to do thing because I can always just kill myself. It incentivizes harming you and the things you care about. It gives your enemies a de-facto ally. But it's intriguing that you think that there is only one reason...
JeerpJoop "If I can make you do what I want and get away with it, why should I not?"

Hym "Well, for starters, there's more than one reason. Secondly, you literally can't. You can only leverage (either) my desire to live against performing the act OR the hope that I may not have to continue doing it indefinitely. Which is how you get people to stay in your suffering cult. You leverage their desire to live and their hope that their suffering will end to get them to do what you want or behave how you want to behave. It's actually kind of illuminating to because if you're God rewards screwing people over then is it not evil? Sounds evil. It ties back into you not actually believing in God but rather believing that God is on your side and that it will forgive you if you do the opposite of what it said."
