I find that people tend to view the south as a monolith in which nothing innovative or scientific ever happens, it’s just hills full of uneducated hicks.

That's the promise of this new partnership. That is the overwhelming machine of capital Epic and Disney hope to create. It might end up rivaling Tencent in it's cultural ubiquity.

Imagine the Eras Tour if Taylor's production team wasn't limited by the laws of reality. Imagine if they could design the earth and sky.

Imagine how much money will be made when she can sell infinite tickets to a VR show that she only has to perform once.

Taylor Swift, possibly the savviest entertainer on the planet when it comes to raking in cash, just made Disney+ her streaming platform of choice for the Eras Tour movie

Disney and Epic are already in it. Fortnite is no longer a game, it's a platform for VR experiences.

We don't receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.

Also fascinating to me... Thebes is east of Argos, past Athens across the southern isthmus. Possibly... Jenny's headed east.

In all of the songs she's mentioned in, she is transient, fleeting, often high and always moving. The play is about wandering, gathering your forces for a task that was doomed from the start.

All that to say, if the "J" indeed stands for Jenny, maybe it's something like Jenny Faces Thebes. Jenny being one of the Seven, doomed to face the impenetrable wall, but never afraid to die doing it.

Also, a lot of Greek myths and stories from the Hellenic era were about hubris and piety (though not the sort of supplicant piety practiced by the later Christians and Abrahamic religions).

In a modern context, it might also be said to be about the futility of authority and the fragility of institutions. To the Greeks it was probably an allegory about heeding the Gods (since all of the prophecies come true, Creon's son's sacrifice saves Thebes and all seven but Adrastus die).

So, Seven Against Thebes is a play about inevitable doom and a ceaseless fight against an insurmountable enemy. The Seven, led by Polynices (the elder heir) join forces to wage war on Thebes to dispute the rule of Eteocles (the younger heir).

re: speculation that the album title acronym is "JFT", following the assumption that the album is about Jenny and influenced in some way by Seven Against Thebes (the 5th century BCE Greek drama), as is evidenced by some internet translations of an image associated with the new album.
