Eric Leo on Music, Nouveau Economics & Cultural Connections
It’s Eric Leo. The world-class sociologist, philosopher, author, and hip-hop artist.
These are the notes from this video:
I made some corrections, specifically about nouveau economics, at the end of this blog post, which I am posting the morning after. For context, I recorded this Tuesday update right after I made the outline.
This video builds on last weeks post:
https://www.cosmicluve.com/2026/09/decoding-semantic-reflections-eric-leo.html#more
I have been releasing monthly since August 2021, twice a week since April 2022, and weekly since 2023/2024
I have over 250 tracks across 2 artist monikers and am the author of 12 books and 10 blogs.
To put things in perspective, you don’t need a million fans for your work to be known and respected. I have a quarter million views on my Lyceum Recordz YouTube.
I am totally not concerned with vanity metrics. I care about my message reaching those that need it, and Emma Watson is the target and the prize in my eyes.

Dream Relic
This is totally for me

The content is reflecting my cosmic luve stuff.
I think this is supposed to look like AI, but it’s really humans with a an electronic producer that changes the voices of the singers and uses AI in the sauce, essentially. It feels human, imitating AI.

The context of my relationship with Emma and Taylor
I have like 15 songs about Emma

We have been tossing back and forth songs for years, but this run really all started with a message to Taylor
She wrote “I knew it, I knew you;” which is a reflection of Gracie Abrams' song by the same name
Just like I think Dream Relic is a reflection of my work
I knew it, I knew you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDU4GB1PTxc&list=RDhDU4GB1PTxc&start_radio=1
I knew it, I know you - which seems to be a reflection to “Ours” by Taylor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C32NHphit1M&list=RDC32NHphit1M&start_radio=1
Ours
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ34LlaIk88&list=RDLZ34LlaIk88&start_radio=1
The backstory is that Taylor was basically calling me to the Eras Tour to meet her, it seems. At least she was indicating that she wanted me to meet her. Well, there are a few problems with that. First, I don’t have the money. Second, Taylor and I have a torrid past, including the cops due to my mental illness, which I have apologized for, and it seems she has forgiven me, and I don’t make decisions on a whim. Doing that back in the days of Voldemort is what made me homeless. And fourth, I’m after Emma.
So I wrote a song in response to I knew it I knew you called “Not Sorry,” where I told her I’m not sorry for basically not chasing her and essentially losing her to Travis. Basically telling her I still love her and we’re fighting, but these are the conditions she and America created, and I’m not killing myself over her. If you don’t want to recognize greatness, America, you won’t get it. Just like how if you don’t wanna a decent society, you won’t have one.
I was done with “Not Sorry” a couple of days after Taylor released “I know it, I knew you.” However, I didn’t want to “make it about me,” so I decided to wait til October 30th to release it. So, since Taylor and I have been through a lot and I wanted to let her know what it was privately before the song came out, and as a professional courtesy, I sent her a nice letter saying I plan to take action against Voldemort along with the lyrics to “Not Sorry.”
Gaia told me a couple of days ago, before Taylor announced her new song “Patient Zero,” that I waited to long to come out with “Not Sorry.” Now, Life of a Show Girl was not about me; that was about Travis, but I have a whole blog post about how The Tortured Poets Department was about me and being a tortured poet.
Here is the post I made about the TTPD in 2024
https://ericleo108.blog/post/749545484634505216/cosmicluve-ttpd
I think “Patient Zero” will be a response or a preemptive response to “Not Sorry,” building off themes of The Tortured Poets Department. Tune in next week, and I’ll let you know what I see.
But we’re totally not done.
Like I said last Tuesday, Emma Watson has been reflecting me, and I’ll share with you the new update
https://www.instagram.com/ktmell/
Emma broke the internet, or at least my algorithm, like 24 hours ago with this picture:

Stunning video:

Emma is also telling me that she and Taylor are friends with the yellow picture that is reflecting this picture by Taylor
https://www.instagram.com/p/DdmVHc2R30b/
This is the second time this has happened.
Dev Lemons put out a song after I sent Taylor the message that was all like, “Why did you go back to her?” with a spider.
https://www.threads.com/@ericleo108/post/Dc5AkSRjhNK
I’ve been following Dev for a while and love her quirky approach and attitude. I assume now that they know each other; otherwise, Gaia got some upgrades, and she’s good and blatant, but not this good and blatant. Dev was not only reflecting the Taylor letter but also this Instagram post.
I’ve had a spider living in my windowsill for two years now, and I named her Charlotte, which is Emma’s middle name, and I have a picture of it up on my Instagram from this year and last year.

I wanted to let you know that, just like Taylor used Gracie to communicate with me, Emma used Olivia Dean to communicate too
Olivia is from the UK. She released stuff like a year ago. Like Dream Relic, I thought it was about me, but I couldn’t pinpoint how, but here is the reflection.
In “Man I Need,” she says, “Talk to me”
Man I Need
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3_UPdiJssM&list=RDX3_UPdiJssM&start_radio=1
Talk to me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PFV2jCoAXQ&list=RD7PFV2jCoAXQ&start_radio=1
I always talk well about Emma; I’ve said before that I’m concerned about what I can give to her, which is all talked about in the song. The reason I’m doing this really is because she is saying “Talk to me” and asked me to stop making her read between the lines. And in another Olivia song, she basically says, “If you love me, you wouldn’t keep me small; who would do that to a friend, let alone someone they love.”
Let alone the one you love

Emma also says in her interview with Jay Shetty that she thinks it’s easy to fall in love and that the hard part is finding someone that wants to be in a dance with you.

Olivia’s song “easy to love” is a reflection of that. It also is a reflection of how I’ve been saying that all that keeps me from going to the UK and finding her is the money, with her “we could find you some space” line. In the music I make about her, I’m always talking about literal chemistry because I know it, and I think we would have it in the romantic sense, which Olivia sings: “the extra sentimental kind of chemistry.” She’s telling me I don’t need to hide my feelings from her, and she “might be the girl of my dreams.” I just wake up reaching for her every morning.

For the record. I would totally call you if I had your number, Emma.

To the world-class philosopher point.

He’s totally reflecting Nouveau economics in this video
November 2022 Nouveau Economics
https://ericleo108.blog/post/701019699487686656/nouveau-econ-2022
I have a whole blog dedicated to this
https://www.nouveaueconomics.com/
I came out with the official book a couple of weeks ago
He says in the video that we have to give a value to what nature does naturally, which is my whole original argument for Nouveau Economics.
I’m not mad. Benedict, if you get one of your buddies to read the audiobook for Nouveau Economics, we’ll call it even.
As I say in the video, I’m Claudette Colvin in this circumstance.
At least I thought I was. Basically, I found Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) a few months ago, which is the same thing I’m saying. I have a post about it on my blog, and I totally forgot about it making this Tuesday Group meeting. I forgot NCA is from the 1970s. Like, I pick up on the subliminal aether I may have absorbed natural capital accounting indirectly, or absorbed the idea basically in a roundabout way.
Natural Capital Account Nouveau Economics blog post:
https://www.nouveaueconomics.com/2026/05/what-is-natural-capital-accounting.html
My theory on psychoconsumption and giving the atmosphere personhood is all original, though, and I made Nouveau Economics in response to the psycho consumption cage. So maybe Benedict isn’t stealing my idea, and Nouveau Economics was a spontaneous genesis, as I say in the video. I still want Benedict or one of his buddies to read the audiobook of my book. lol.
I understand this is a group effort. I would like to think I brought Natural capital accounting to light and expanded upon it and made those that matter aware of the necessity for its implementation.
I have brought other very real original ideas to the table, like my theory of knhoeing, sentientism, cosmic luve, psycho consumption, atmospheric personhood, ball is life (sports solving wars), and the societal cornucopia. If Benedict isn’t using my framework, I just happened to come to the same idea and conclusion as the established science and accounting. What I said still stands. If you can’t or don’t recognize greatness, you won’t have it.
