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

     19 Not in the way that all noise crowds out thoughtspace—external noise
     20 impacts thoughtspace by allocating a relatively larger portion of
     21 moment-in-time human compute toward world-processing as opposed to
     22 thoughtspace. AirPods, on the other hand, project music and sound into
     23 thoughtspace directly.
     24 
     25 This is because the sound doesn’t interact with the outside world.
     26 Instead, it comes through with the same clarity as your thoughts.
     27 
     28 Perhaps this is a relatively easy fix then?
