Why audiophiles are different (explained with color)


A very interesting video on color and color perception. How it comes into being.

In the act of doing so, it illustrates how the complexity of the high end audio world comes into existence.. 

at the same time it explains how we end up with almost what you would call 'violent detractors'. Negative detractors.

People unable to discern nuance. Audio haters. As in .....non evolved people, regarding audio.

This is not a put down, it merely uses the words to describe the position in life they are in at the time. They may evolve more into the given audio directions, or they may not. It is a matter of will, choice, time, and innate capacity to do so.

Thanks interesting article....

What we call the given, and what we modern call the Imaginary, are correlated and regulated one another in the space of what Cassirer inspired by Goethe called the symbolic form....

The "given" perceived, posit to be objectively perceived, is an idea that come from the domination of the nominalism and of the cartesianism after him, culminating in the technological and theoretic science before quantum mechanic....The "given" is not a myth strictly speaking tough,it is a new correlation and a new regulation between the fundamental polarities of the symbolic forms themselves who always mediate between a "pure" knowledge which never exist and "pure" spontaneous action which never exist either separated absolutely from one another .... Reality is always appearing as perspectival symbolic form itself...

Goethe is the first phenomenologist to experience it consciusly with his plant morphology, and in his color theory....Cassirer being more a disciple of Goethe than even of Kant unbeknownst to most....

@teo_audio - Another interesting topic is how we are engaged in statistics when we listen and recognise voices, instruments, spacial information (imaging) are all skills used with statistical interpretation.
I'm undoubtedly fascinated by the world around us, so..
Thanks mate.  (two thumbs up)
I only found this topic when I followed one of the posters who made the only intelligent post in another thread. I see he, or she, did the same in this topic.
Y'all let me know when you run a 90 minute marathon, or an 8 second 100 meter, or for most of ya, hear 20KHz again. There is some large differences in intelligence, this topic makes that a bit obvious, but our physical abilities are all real close. Ya know the word for pink and it helps you pick out pink since you spent a lifetime classifying pink. Does not mean you can see better in the dark or see ultraviolet light. Heck a lifetime of listening to music hasn't helped one of ya to know that grain can be noise, or harmonic distortion or any number of other types of distortion, but ya lump it all together cause ya don't know the difference.
When ya can't even get the basics right, ya probably should be a little more humble and think twice, three times for some of ya, before posting this elitist drivel.
One can go back through old threads and see just how outraged and indignant some are at the descriptions used to convey what we hear. Complaints of over the top language and hyperbole are disparaged with the heat of a thousand suns. 

Could it be that that is the latent underpinnings of the refusals to accept what is described? Can objectivists be so limited that anything other than a measurement can set them off? Think back on the movie, Contact, when Jodi Foster's character (a scientist who relies on measurements) tries to describe a beautiful celestial event and fails, and then goes onto to say, "They should have sent a poet."

Consider also, the movie, Arrival, where the more a linguist learns an alien language, the more she begins to think and process like one. We all see and hear things somewhat differently depending on our own life experiences and how we're wired. Some just resist too hard.

All the best,
