Yes, I know this is a fun article, not a dissertation on our cultural understanding of intelligence. I enjoyed reading it.

Old, old trailer technique - and addressed & allowed for in the oldest music licensing formats for them. (Even “Tubular Bells” was manipulated to sync with effects in trailers for “The Exorcist”.)

Like instead of saying “This event gave me emotional troubles, depression, shock, paranoia, anxiety, hot flashes, and light to medium despondence” it could just be “This event got me struck by goddamn
