• Was Some Of Ravel’s Best Music The Product Of A Brain Disorder?

  15-02-2021 23:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  “Think of it like traffic. There’s the language road, there’s the music road, there’s the seeing road, there’s the images road. Language is like a superhighway; it makes the other things wait for it. It puts a stoplight on the others. But when language deteriorates a little bit — which happens at the beginning of this disease — it becomes less dominant.

  15-02-2021 22:14 via feedproxy.google.com

Where an earlier

  Honestly, will we never learn? “Americans have expressed their concerns about each new form of media through fears about children and youth.

  Archaeologists “were hopeful of unearthing something of interest because the area has been occupied for more than 3,000 years.
