It all started to go down hill when that paleo-aspie, who was sitting around the campfire, said "what's that shiny spot on that rock being heated by the fire?" 
. And now they need us to fix this self destructing world we've invented.

What do you mean?
thank you for asking me
it refers to making sound recordings uniformly maximum loudness, no more quiet parts, all are equally loud. radio stations invented this [to expand the audible reach of their broadcast signal] and the music industry took it several steps further. the reason it is called "brickwall" is because if you look at an oscilloscope display of brickwalled music, it looks like a solid thick band of light with no variations in it.

I ran into that piece of garbage in college back in 1979, when the campus radio station installed that unit in their transmitter chain, as a stereo exciter. I was the classical music announcer at the time (if you could call me an announcer.). My airchecks always sounded like sh!t, exactly for the reasons you state regarding brickwalling.
Unfortunately, brickwalling is now the standard, since Radio broadcasting Management (If you want to call it that nowadays) have, especially on FM Radio, decided that the louder and more compressed the signal, the better the ratings and share of the market. A former neighbor of mine, when I was a stupid teenager, made the comment that nowadays, you’d be better off sending DC through the broadcast chain for the audience’s listening pleasure, that source material that ends up being mangled by the Optimod.
