Looking at this chart[0], my guess would be around 1997.

I’m surprised this article wasn’t about Metformin, something gwern has written about[0] and has some popularity in the entire nootropic circle of people that I know.

This channel has some of the best usage of AI art that I’ve seen. I wouldn’t consider the background art of this kind of content core, but it is important. I’m very impressed by what is generated and how well it goes along with what he talks about.

"What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?"
"People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and pain and misery and loss. The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives."

Forgive this for being slightly off-topic.
But I've wondered for awhile now, if a MTG-style card game might not be an ideal application for blockchain technology. The anti-counterfeiting concept means that limited numbers of rare (virtual) cards could be issued. A mechanism could surely be developed where the company or group in charge could periodically release new cards (perhaps after the mechanics had been voted on by participants), and issued once or twice a year. And of course, players could transfer cards to each other whenever they liked, either trading them or selling for an agreed upon price.
It just seems like a natural fit. Wonder why no one's doing it.
Why does blockchain need to be involved? Magic: The Gathering Online exists and has existed for 20+ years without the need for a blockchain.

Why do you think those two questions have different answers? For me, the only logical option is that both questions must have the same answer (regardless of what your answer is).
I don't follow your logic. How would constructing a new ship from new materials ever count as being the same as the original ship?
At least in the Ship of Theseus paradox, there is the case where you take the old replaced parts and construct a ship from those parts - which is an interesting question, is it the original ship? In this case, the only thing consistent about the ship is the design. Take mass manufactured goods then - are they the same article because the have the same materials?
What is the difference between slowly replacing your cells a few at a time through biological processes, and instantly replacing all of your cells through the teleporter?
In both cases, an older version of you is "extinct", meanwhile, the latest version of you does not have any recollection of becoming extinct.
I viewed those questions as a play on the Ship of Theseus.
If the ship is completely destroyed and a perfect replica rebuilt elsewhere, is it the same ship? Almost certainly not.
If the ship is slowly replaced over time, is it the same ship? As a matter of form or psychological continuity as posited in the question, almost certainly.
This is sad, sad news.
