I'm about at the part where all those people had their brain erased by the tape.

Was the title of the tape "Infinite Jest"?

I did but the discography doesn't say that Infinite Jest was a brain erasing tape, just that he made several attempts. I'm assuming it's the brain erasing tape.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Brain erasing tape? I thought the tape was just so mind-blowingly interesting that the people would keep watching it forever without ever stopping to eat or drink and so they would eventually just die. I didn't think it erased their brains. But I don't remember for sure.

yeah this is it but i also think writing out "tape so mind blowingly orgasmic to watch that watching or doing anything else is pointless" is way longer than and ismorphic to "brain erasing"
