Valentine: My Father's Last Love Letter

My Father's Last Love Letter (...valentine) 2012 – a note I have a letter to deliver. At least try my best to, anyway. It isn’t mine. My father wrote the words. Probably the last if not the last before that capacity, as others, left him. There's no address. I don’t know what's written - I haven’t opened the envelope, and won’t. I’m not that way, and that’s not the point of it. But I now who it’s for. The words are for the two them. I merely have to carry something from one place, one time, to another. Connect them. You might consider it the other way around though, that the two places and times are the same, and all I have to do is ignore the space between. Depends on your point of view. What’s space, anyway? Or time, for that matter. There’s a woman’s name on top of the envelope. Not my mother’s. Tina. The true love of my father’s life. I suspect the feeling is mutual. I met Tina once, years and years ago. I hope she's still alive. Neither she nor my fat...

The Relationship Between Empathy and Reading Fiction (study) - narrative vs story vs plot; language, consciousness, emotions and music (part 1).

The Relationship Between Empathy and Reading Fiction: Separate Roles for Cognitive and Affective Components Independent Researcher, UK University of Winchester, UK Abstract Method (read the study at the link above) (or pasted in below the comment) 2014 comment: Narrative, as I'm using it here, is inexorably tied to present expressed time and is singular. I'm fairly certain (of course it's a speculation) its expression via language is tied to our inhibitory development (a smallish chunk of brain up front and left - mostly but it's more network synchrony and synchopathy, logos within logos, than... geography or anatomy...hoho - is sort of specialized in that way and one thing that distinguishes our species.) Story - not plot - instead is by contrast not tied to the present and by its nature, plural or having time-less alternative meaning , even conflicting meanings. (Ie: in the last sentence our language would embed story to fit narrative, so one should grammatically ...

Beth experiment -The Relationship Between Empathy and Reading Fiction - part 2

As an indulgent self-birthday gift last december (2013) I did a sort of experiment and asked whoever had nothing better to do like, say, clip their toenails, to read a short story and answer a question following. I thank again those who did. Beth's Island She awoke, opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling in the dim light. She had been dreaming of views from high places, of many people far away scurrying about, of metallic, dusty odors first and then of a light drizzle falling over a line of trees that ran parallel to a quieter street. Then her perspective had changed and she was on a sidewalk walking past familiar faces and parked cars and brick buildings with small stores on the ground floor. She tried holding onto those images but they faded quickly and the young woman found herself alone and unable to remember where she was or how she had gotten there, as if her memories had been taken away with her dreams to a place she could not find. All she could recal...

Social Functions of Group Ritual - theory

The socia l functions of group ritual (2010?) ' Convergent developments across social scientific disciplines provide evidence that ritual is a psychologically prepared, culturally inherited, behavioral trademark of our species. We draw on evidence from the anthropological and evolutionary science literatures to provide a psychological account of the social functions of ritual for group behavior. Solving the adaptive problems associated with group living requires psychological mechanisms for identifying group members, ensuring their commitment to the group, facilitating cooperation with coalitions, and maintaining group cohesion. The intersection of these lines of inquiry promises to provide new avenues for theory and research on the evolution and ontogeny of social group cognition.'

Musical brains

http://neurosciencenews.com/jazz-musician-brain-language-circuitry-776/ 2014 comment: ...more than Pinker's auditory cheesecake, music I suppose is at least a stratified, complex dessert or meal transmitting more information more universally (intrinsically) than more abstracted and culturally influenced/derived narrative met hods like words - even sharing some of the same pathways. At some point not so far ahead, emerging neuroscience theory will have to include plural and parallel representations in emergent behavior - even though there remains variably influenced hierarchies in the path to expression, - and take into more account the oddness and determination of time, contexts, entropy and the usually counterintuitive sticky aspect of information.

The brains of jazz musicians engrossed in spontaneou...
