A lot of people might think that techno is just the repetitive soundtrack to a pile of turds. I don't dispute that, but there is one exception; the finest Eurodance song ever created (and a personal favourite of Alex's):

This song has a vital lesson for us all:

No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's no limits.

But how do we reconcile having no limits with making shit techno? The rapper in this song tells us that people "try to diss me 'cos I sell out". However, he responds with "I'm making techno, and I am proud".

He should be, and quite rightly too. There are no limits. This means that most of the time, people will make hilariously poor Eurodance anthems if you let them. There is no point in trying to stop people doing nothing, or even worse making rubbish crap for most of their time, and for good reason; our growth as a civilisation depends on it entirely.

If we treat our existence as having no limits, and we do whatever makes us feel proud, very infrequently, one of us will stumble across something worthwhile. It was literally thousands and thousands of years, during which mankind only made shitty techno, until Beethoven came along.

Even if we do spend our entire lives being proud but producing only mincing Eurodance, at least we'll have spent our time dancing, having fun and giving everyone around us this message: this is awesome, we're not done yet; there's no limits.
