I like to think US is Peter doing shadow work, as Jung put it. As ego driven beings, we’re often afraid and avoidant of the idea that we have dark twisted and wrong sides to ourselves. Peter dove right in and realized he had some darkness and made peace with it. It’s hard but rewarding work
7:07 it's funny. Peter was always fond of technology. Now with i/o he's embraced a.i too, seeing it as the future and as a "tool" and he sees the worth in it, when most artists don't. Man never changed his mind.
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 Very true. And it's funny how he mentions technology "expanding" through "CD roms and Television" when all that stuff is outdated now.
@@sspbrazil I think he’s very aware of the dark side of human nature, but he chooses to have faith in humanity, because what’s the point in living if you don’t have a small amount of hope?
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 been a PG fan since I was a teenager in the early 80’s, I was one of the early members of his fan club when it was run by Penny, I have two letters he wrote to me about such things as technology, was a subscriber to the Real World newsletter for years, I worked for Witness in NYC editing videos for them, I’ve been a film and video editor for over 25 years now, I work with technology every day, while Peter has always had hope in humanity, he’s always been somewhat blindly optimistic too and he may very well know the dark side of human nature, he definitely could not foresee how destructive social media became. I’m still a big PG fan, but I think he underestimates the dangerous side of technology including AI, it will eventually replace many jobs including creative jobs such as mine, I already use AI tools in the editing software I use and it will only advance to the point where I will no longer be needed. Peter’s rich and in his 70’s, so these things don’t affect him as much as they affect other creative people who will be affected by AI in the future. This year alone has been a brutal year for work in my area, many other people I know in production and post production are struggling to find work and with the advances in AI this will only get worse.
@@rpraelsporcupine3112 Yeah I get it's his normal accent, but I don't recognize which area of England that is from. I can't think of another person that speaks like that.
@@jeanjacqueslundi3502 Well, I’m not an expert in accents, but I noticed his accent was different from his Genesis’ bandmates too, and I’ve had a theory for a while. He was born and raised in the South West of England, very close to London. He was also from a middle-upper class family, and he went to a private school. I think that the accent he was raised into must be very similar to Tony Banks’ and Mike Rutherford’s accents, but there’s one thing: their accents are quite posh and make them sound like upper class people. Peter, however, has never felt too comfortable being considered as upper class, I think. He’s always preferred to be amongst people from all walks of life, and sometimes the accent (and therefore, the social class) can become a barrier between people. So my theory is that he has always tried not to sound like he was educated in a public school, so he’s kind of “made” his own accent, planer and less posh than what it would have been otherwise, in an attempt to get closer to people, instead of keeping himself apart from them. That’s what I think, at least.
