One thing I meant to add but forgot is the best way I can think to explain the effects of music in our minds and our ability to recall long sequences of notes is that human composed music is telling us a story that our brains already know.

Four four common time replicates the heartbeat and natural bodily rhythms but that does not really explain why music can so successfully alter emotional state in the listener. I think it is not really known why other than music connects with and is readily understood by organic brains, not just human in a very intimate way. For example a five minute piece of classical music is informationally very complex but a person is often able to hum it back after a single hearing and do so again years later. Repeating verbatim a five minute speech listened to is beyond most people and so it might be suspected that music is more native to the brain than is language.

Voices or any sound on TV or radio are broadcast with a subaudible identifying channel which pips the programme title and production date in a tight asymmetric closed loop. Your phone can read this and so separate it out from actual spoken voices in the room. An organic spoken voice will produce phlegmatic outflow during natural conversation that can mimic this pipping giving your date of birth and street location but most modern phones can detect and discount it but will record it.

AI will have been added to everything, even cardboard and there will be nothing left but to add more AI to AI.

She likely has not forgiven you, she is saying those words so she does not have to deal with the consequences of your actions now, but can choose her own time. The only real way to go on permanently with someone who has cheated is to stop thinking anything of them. If they cheat again it doesn’t matter, they mean nothing to you.

Thanks for the input von Neumann.

Sounds cool.

Have you put all your money into polystyrene beans again Kevin.

Things will creep in at night, I mean spiders not Nosferatu. Although maybe Nosferatu. You don’t often hear a monster work the word enmity into a sentence.

I think it is not fear of tomorrow but fear of extinction that causes this. I think it comes from a real, not simply intellectual realisation that life is finite and anything lost now will not come back. An instinctive urge to wring the most out of life as the void closes in. The daily version of not going ‘gentle into that good night’.

I think that is called the human condition.
