Victim of a shark attack [nsfw] [nsfl] by imacgyv0rin WTF

Sharks attack because they can.

Why do you like the music that you listen to? : AskReddit by jason-samfieldin musictheory

[–]xarkonnen 2 points3 points ago

Well, considering music as mostly learned phenomena, scientists suppose that this is at least partly because of Mere-Exposure effect.

Also there is interesting connection between emotional memories and music (simply, music-induced nostalgia).

Here is good lecture on exactly the topic you are wondering about.

Is there a reason why I am only poetic for one week at a time every four weeks? (male) by penguiturtlein psychology

[–]xarkonnen 2 points3 points ago

You're right. There is a number of examples of genius people being uni/bipolar. Felix Mendelssohn is my favorite bipolar example.

->OP: Here's interesting lecture on this exact topic.

I just discovered I have perfect/absolute Pitch, Where should I go from here? by 1937in musictheory

[–]xarkonnen 1 point2 points ago

If you are able to sing correctly first pitch of the song, I'm afraid it is not that "sacred" type of Absolute Pitch actually. It is quite common, and called "Piece Perfect Pitch".

Real perfect pitch is more about identifying every pitch from dense clusters of tones simultaneously. Try it ! If you can learn to do that, then you really have PP that will help you a lot in every aspect of musicanship.

Big thanks ! Wonderful film.

Hi. I make weird music that blends IDM with dubstep and other unique genres. I just finished an album I worked really hard at and would love to hear your thoughts. by ultralurk2000in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]xarkonnen 2 points3 points ago

Awesome, just awesome soundwork. Crystal clear sounds. Nice mixing and mastering.

But have to admit, it's quite poor musically. I hear no musical ideas, just freacking awesome rhythms and solid synths (which is good too). But I think besides from quality production music needs some idea.

How can I motivate myself to prioritize School/Work over more entertaining things? (Xpost from Askreddit) by DJ-Ragequitin SocialEngineering

[–]xarkonnen 1 point2 points ago

As it is supposed by Nature - the truth is always somewhere in the middle. Btw, thanks for mentioning r/scholar. Didn't know about that one :)

[–]xarkonnen 1 point2 points ago

What I've mentioned is definitely not a "noticing identity-related behavioral intention" to someone.

It is public commitment, commitment to your very near relatives/friends i.e. people who is near almost all the time and with whom you have strong social bonds and therefore responsibility for everything you have promised.

This scheme employs feedback mechanism, social control over your promise (which is void both in the TED talk and abstract of research you provided).

EDIT:word.

[–]xarkonnen -1 points0 points ago

Since it is r/socialengineering I'd suggest a "social" solution.

In the situation when you have as much your friends/relatives as possible nearby (like some holiday, family gathering, party etc.) promise everyone (publicly!) to prioritize school/work over entertaining. Public statements are very strong "weapons" of human psychology. You will see how effectively it works (it is very hard to avoid such a promise).

Definitely. I just love when people use their theoretical knowledge on practice. This is why good psychology professors are often so badass at their classes.

Awesome ! Does this knowledge really help in everyday life ?

And by the way, is it somehow possible that you still have presentation slides ? I can't find them.
