From the Ted Talk by Kaki King: Playing "Pink Noise" on guitar
Unscramble the Blue Letters
I was thinking about my place in the universe, and about my first thought about what infinity might mean, when I was a child. And I thought that if time could reach forwards and backwards iifieltnny, doesn't that mean that every point in time is really infinitely salml, and therefore somewhat meaningless. So we don't really have a pclae in the universe, as far as on a time line. But nothing else does either. Therefore every moment really is the most important moment that's ever happened, including this mmnoet right now. And so therefore this muisc you're about to hear is maybe the most important music you'll ever hear in your life.

Original Text
I was thinking about my place in the universe, and about my first thought about what infinity might mean, when I was a child. And I thought that if time could reach forwards and backwards infinitely, doesn't that mean that every point in time is really infinitely small, and therefore somewhat meaningless. So we don't really have a place in the universe, as far as on a time line. But nothing else does either. Therefore every moment really is the most important moment that's ever happened, including this moment right now. And so therefore this music you're about to hear is maybe the most important music you'll ever hear in your life.
