] "We can easily distort memories for the details of an
] event that you did experience," says Loftus. "And we
] can also go so far as to plant entirely false memories
] - we call them rich false memories because they are so
] detailed and so big." I read the book that was coauthored by Elizabeth Loftus "The Myth of Repressed Memory" in my Science vrs Pseudoscience philosophy class that I took in college. I must say, it was a pretty interesting, as well as disturbing book to read. While reading it, you begin to wonder if your memories are really correct or not - and I recommend the book if you are interested in the subject, although the focus is on people "remembering" sexual abuse.

Think about the most brilliant or insane theoretical idea you've read about recently. Think about organized chaos, evolution, emergence, artificial intelligence, parallel computers... There exists music in this universe that is a perfect metaphor for these things, nearly complete in it's audio conversion in terms of high resolution detail and complexity. It might be a pity if you never knew about it. Let's not even refer to these as music to avoid association with.. conventional.. "music". So without further adew I share with you the following organized sound (you can probably find them all in the search engine of the provided link): "autechre" (often called lp5) by autechre
"8000 bc" by otto von schirach
"1" (often called nullpluze.nz) by crunch
"lipswitch" by richard devine
"the richard d. james album" by aphex twin ta daaaaaa! the most technologically advanced and lucid music I'm aware of |
