However, this particular company took things to a whole new level: a Strava-type *social network* on which one can not only upload their own activities for leaderboards, *but also download midi-like sequences from other Bluetooth vibrator users*.

The quote is "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak". Which actually seems more appropriate to the subject. Anyway, human nature has not changed, just made more visible.
