“Listening tunes our brain to the patterns of our environment faster than any other sense.” - Seth Horowitz neuroscientist

 Seth Horowitz interview starts at 8 minutes in

 Wow he threw up from a freak accident with his cat jumping on the synthesizer! 

Fish can hear electrical fields....hearing is truly a universal sense. The earliest fossil vertebrates we can find all had inner ears. ..eternal warning: It's on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...sound is a mechanical sense....startle [jumping up] takes less than 15 milliseconds from a basic auditory circuit...

the only time you see these kinds of pseudo-harmonic waveforms is when you have a voice or musical instrument going completely out of control - someone screaming - showed the exact same waveform - it's not frequency content, it's microchanges in time (way less than a thousandth of a second) - the difference...sends a signal to us that their vocal cords are out of control and that gives us the basis for the fingers on the blackboard - it's the flip side of constant music....it's very similar to someone in great pain or stress.

Ear worms...you start getting multisensory convergence - a tight coupling between auditory flow rate and emotional ..meaning.... you pick up a much wider vibration through your skin [and bones] than your ears....

Seth Horowitz another talk

 @danielfaben5838  I'm having an academic article published this next month - so I give a concise overview. Basically I promote the algae that Sir David King was emphasizing when Nate interviewed him. Most humans these days grow up in cities or cookie-cutter suburbs or commuting ex-burbs and even most "family farms" now are just monocultural input factories, disconnected from natural ecological wealth. For example when I visited the most traditional Berber village in Morocco in 1997 the women there had been farming using humanure composting - and as science has documented - the Berbers settled that area with wheat farming around 5000 BCE. But then a truck went past on the new gravel road nearby and all the women raised their fists in the air with no tolerance for noise and pollution. Each house now had 1 light bulb for 2 hours of electricity. That was 1997 and now Morocco is barely surviving the extreme drought conditions of abrupt global warming. How quickly Western modernization flip-flipped yet the dynamic of early wheat farming was already there. We could think of the Berbers as Europe was before the Yamnaya invasion around 3000 BCE!! That's how "far back" I went in time - but there is an even deeper time travel in terms of psychophysiology.
I finished my master's degree testing out a theory I had - so I went through the African studies department Chair at U of Minnesota-Twin Cities - doing self-directed nonwestern philosophy training with a Chinese qigong master, Chunyi Lin who has a healing center in Minnesota. From that training then I experienced ghosts and I could smell cancer as rotting flesh in other person. A few years later I was reading "Healing Makes our Hearts Happy" about our original human culture - the San Bushmen - and they have a quote that described my experience to a tee!! My point being that DNA science now has proven the "pygmies" separated from the San Bushmen 225,000 years ago yet both have the same music-focused healing spiritual culture, as Dr. Jerome Lewis, the professor at UCL with Chris Knight (the radical anthropology research group) documents. They have a great video lecture series on vimeo with many posted on their youtube channel also.
So when we try to analyze our brain motivations, our intentions of the mind - we need to consider the whole body and the spirit (now defined in science as biophotons). The nonwestern ancient training meditation cultures have figured this out. As Westerners we project our modern warfare onto even chimpanzees as Professor R. Brian Ferguson's new book, "Chimpanzees, War and History" details (Oxford U Press).

 @wholebodysneeze  I'm listening to "Climate Denial and Disaster Nationalism | Richard Seymour and Tad DeLay" on Verso youtube channel - uploaded 2 days ago - this new book author is talking about "shared socioeconomic pathways" as a new model for abrupt global warming. The problem with this "social systems" approach to global warming is that it's anthropocentric. I agree with conservation biologist Guy McPherson's analysis as well as Andrew Glikson, the professor posting on "arctic-news" blogspot. The empirical evidence is much worse than these attempts at "modeling" and "managing" a system. For example Professor Robert Nadeau's 2006 book "Environmental Endgame" emphasized that a supercomputer can not model the complexity of an equatorial rainforest ecology. Yet as chaos math professor Steve Strogatz points out the reliance on supercomputers using chaotic iterations means science is inherently authoritarian in terms of what the models project for avoiding "biological annihilation."
Generosity as a concept is similar to charity in contrast to justice relying on say a progressive income tax to redistribute wealth. The recent COP results were a great disappointment when the developing countries asked for trillions and the pledge is for billions yet the previous pledges have not been fulfilled. People are brainwashed as corporate-state brown-no$ers to blame the poor for their own poverty by individual sins - laziness, ignorance, yet since the 1980s the top-down "trickle" model has been the ethic that "greed is good" and the "strongest survives." So generosity as a structural dynamic would embrace the inherent symbiosis in ecology - the recent book "Survival of the Friendliest" is a great example. I contacted the authors though since their natural science backgrounds are inaccurate about political economy (i.e. the claim that liberal democracies are more generous than authoritarian regimes).
The U.S. is an empire with 750 military bases in other countries and this lie about "democracy" goes back to ancient Greece itself - as I mentioned how each citizen was valued as a logarithm that needs to "compromise for the good of the state" to prop up exponential wealth growth for the elite. So yes our injustice of wealth is inherent to our construction of Western science from a symmetric spacetime continuum definition of reality (originating from irrational magnitude math based on the wrong music theory).
Music taps into our deep unconscious emotions and so true generosity is actually based on the right side vagus nerve connection from the reproductive organ up to the brain and down to the right side of the heart. This is the secret based of the matrifocal feminist original human culture - the Tshoma training that was required by males. So by the time a male is finished with puberty they are hard-wired into a left-brain dominant culture that cuts them off from the original right-brain dominant music training fostering generosity. For example a male's first hunt was something he could not eat himself - he was forced to share it first. And if the male wanted to get married then he had to live with his future wife's family while hunting for three years to provide for them. This is how he proved his generosity and the females controlled access to the land.
What we find though is that for female chimpanzees, they learned to hunt with spears so the females were not dependent on being violated when the males returned with meat from hunting. So our whole reliance on technology by modern humans is in fact just an extension of the same deep psychophysiological problem that female chimps tried to solve. This reliance on external technology just is a symptomatic solution that projects the problem into ecology itself. But what I call "Technofeminism" is thus deeply hard-wired into humanity and thus our disconnection from ecology as symbiotic sharing - mutualism as generosity is lost on a hard-wired physiological basis.
What the original human culture realized is that all matter is actually composed of light - this is proven today in physics in the article, "Light is Heavy" by Nobel physicist Gerard 't Hooft. And there is something even beyond this light origin of matter - the light originates from a newly discovered force that is also called protoconsciousness. The ancients called it N/om as "shaking medicine" - a kind of acoustic nonlocal superluminal phonon force that is also antigravitational, negentropic and can create new matter. This force is also precognitive. Even Sir Roger Penrose in his latest youtube talks on "Science of Consciousness" channel explains how protoconsciousness is actually precognitive! Most scientists are not even willing to conceptualize this possibility and Penrose gets ignored since he is in his mid-90s now. I think he's 92 or something?
Anyway as modern humans we assume our original human culture was "more primitive" since they lived in Nature yet in fact their perceptual reality was in contact with the source for the whole Universe! Andrew Zimmern got a dose of this when he burst out crying on his "Bizarre World" cooking show. He explained in his follow up book what he experienced - the San Bushmen healer placed his hand over Zimmern's heart and Zimmern left his body, experienced his life as a holographic reality and when the healer took his hand away, Zimmern felt a strong shock and sucked back into his body. The healer explained later he had just wanted to get to know Zimmern on a real level.
