First off I'd like to share with you a particular segment I clipped from Joe Frank, who used to have a radio program that was very bizarre, intriguing and surreal... I love that clip, although other people may find it particularly morbid, I find it rather matter of fact and....not comforting, but gratifying in some way.
Also I just either read or listened to something about dreams and brain function...I'm getting my podcasts and my magazines confused. Dang. Something about how it isn't the way we originally thought, where memory is stored and....dammit. Now I have to figure out where I heard/read that.
..........crap, I can't remember. I can't remember where I heard the story about memory. How ironic.
this article in the latest scientific american is not about dream and memory but about color...unfortunately it's not on the website unless you pay money....I could scan the pages if you're interested

Hah -- that clip is awesome. That's exactly it and completely weird ;)
The color thing is interesting. I think color is a testament to the variability of human perception. We can understand colors with an incredible level of relational perspective. Same thing with values. It's amazing that our brains can track a 'color' despite the varying environmental situation.
I'm drunk, so I'm babbling ;) It's been a drunk kind of week :)
That was great... that's definitely the level of questioning I think is necessary. I like his point about the ridiculousness of the idea that out of 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets, ours was the only one that developed life.

Amazing that I can still form coherent sentences now and again eh?
You should check out my last post...a couple of posts ago we were talking about percetption.....
if you giggle at the word queer you may have a problem with this presentation.
But yeah...I like to have my mind just disintegrate into the thought I'm trying to assimilate.
A lot.
Come on, it's fun!
