+I was walking around the other day, listening to the sounds of the
+night, when I had a thought about AirPods. This is not the first time
+this has happened: previously, I have wondered about the percentage of
+sound I hear that comes filtered through Apple's transparency software,
+a number that is likely shockingly high. On this particular occasion, I
+thought it merited a blog post, mostly because I invented a word and
+that made me feel like [Matt Webb]. The thought was: AirPods are bad
+because the music invades thoughtspace.
+

+
+Not in the way that all noise crowds out thoughtspace—external noise
+impacts thoughtspace by allocating a relatively larger portion of
+moment-in-time human compute toward world-processing as opposed to
+thoughtspace. AirPods, on the other hand, project music and sound into
+thoughtspace directly.
+
+This is because the sound doesn’t interact with the outside world.
+Instead, it comes through with the same clarity as your thoughts.
+
+Perhaps this is a relatively easy fix then?
