Interesting and related: Noam Chomsky, in his work as linguist, has stated that what reaches the ear (or the eye in this case) is not what reaches the mind. What this means is that we experience language as if it was linearly ordered, when at the cognitive level (in the mind) language is actually hierarchically organized. This means that the underlying structure of language has to interface with the sensory-motoe systems in order to transform the hierarchical structure into a linear one. This is why we sometimes also struggle putting our thoughts into words, because in that interface there is a change in structure that doesn't always preserve the 'original' (hierarchical) structure

Hi! Back in reddit there was a DID community. Is there something equivalent in the fediverse? I'm not a system myself but I know a few and I am doing some research on the topic, so I'd be really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction

Kbin interacts with Lemmy and seems to me to contain reasonable people willing to have respectful discussions

I've read all the biographies of Zappa I have found. It's in one of those, but can't remember which. It was an unofficial (not authorized) one

If only he hadn't thrown a bottle of beer over Zappa's daughter and they hadn't fought about it, we would have had so many amazing collaborationa

Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, but I didn't find it funny at all. I got the A coo sticks = Acoustics right away, but it seems forced. Saying a sound 'sticks' is not how one would describe a sound not traveling/bouncing.

Interestingly, when Newton published his Universal Gravitation theory, it was considered as spooky as quantum physics is nowadays. It broke away with the Mechanical philosophy of the day that saw the natural world as a series of direct cause-effect interactions. Even Newton disliked the implications of UG and tried to make them for, unsuccessfully, into Mechanical philosophy.

I'll take a review written from the heart anyway over one that claims objectivity. I love the movie and I really enjoyed reading this. Thanks!
