Audiophile demographics?

Are you sure about that? Have you tried hanging out with those above 120 and below 80?

I said means "little" not means nothing....

No need for IQ test at all to feel and know these large differences....i advised students about reading in all fields for 35 years.... :)

But true intelligence in life is not IQ related....It is consciousness related....

What is IQ ? Pattern solving, thats almost all it is.... Then do you think the A.I. that just solved the protein folding problem is intelligent? Wolfram think that but perhaps his IQ is not all there is about intelligence...And no need to test to see that his score exceed 140.... :)


Beware, any machine can now discuss with us, hiding his indefinite memory to us, without being recognized on the spot....🐵


True intelligence for me is linked to the capacity to feel and perceive the living interconnectedness of all that exist.... Spiritual and moral experiences has nothing to do with IQ....

We live on 2 plane simultaneously, machine dont.....Consciousness for me is the working relation between 2 simultaneously living planes of experience...Think about your dreams for example or about your innate moral imagination....

«For sure the one who said "I" is another one» -Mark Twain reading Rimbaud

« 2 planes of existence? Yes, the time perceived and the imperceptible one...»- Myself reading Dostoievsky "the dream of a ridiculous man" one of the cleverest book ever written....

My citation of Libet is a riddle....😊

...I see I haven't missed much while 'away'....*G*

🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This is not what his experiments showed or at least a distorted interpretation.  More accurate would be there is brain activity before we are able to communicate an intention. If that is a "discovery", I hate to see the rest of the work.

More accurate would be there is brain activity before we are able to communicate an intention.

Your formulation is more accurately formulated indeed.... :)

Libet himself would say it your way....

Sometimes it is difficult to resume a controversy in 6 words.... But most people after his experiment interpret it like a proof of the non existence of free will....Not Libet himself for sure....I wrote the distorted intrerpretation to illustrate my riddle about consciousness and the general opinion about Libet at the time....

:)

But my riddle takes the sea anyway.....

I think women have traditionally not been audiophiles because they had no one to show them the way and excite them about it

.Interesting! I know three women audiophiles, one of whom is my mother in law.
She developed an interest -- similarly to what you wrote -- years ago when I was auditioning various pairs of speakers; I was then looking for an additional pair of speakers and we began auditioning together; to make a long story short, I explained as much as I could about electronics, compatibility and circuits, and sound reproduction. We embarked on a speakers evaluation marathon,  full time, even down to positioning speakers, amplification characteristics, and speakers evaluation sheets!

OTOH, her daughter (i.e. my wife) loves music but isn’t even interested in firing up the system, let alone audiophilia of any sort...
