i hate people trying to justify everything with science. sure, i love science. i love finding logical explanations for stuff. but i think its degrading to our humanity when people try to veiw things such as emotions from a logical perspectives. our mind is construct, an existance that does not follow logical patterns. we can reduce our feelings to chemical imbalances. but really, why? as a musician and someone who appreciates art and literature, i think that we should celebrate the things that make us human, not try and justify our irrational thoughts and behaviours. maybe i put too much emphasis on my own irrational ideals. i dont care.
Im not trying justify everything with science. all things shouldnt be, as you said, a musician shouldnt have to. I agree. When you read a book that you love, you shouldnt know why, you should just accept that you love the book, or movie or song or painting or whatever it is that you love.
The Arts should not be analysed through science.
However, we are
not talking about the Arts. We are talking about a hunch that someone has which they think is totally accurate. Now thinking
logically (not scientifically, they are different), this ability is complete nonsense. You cant form absolute opinions on a single experience
Now if we think scientifically, it is down to a thing called
confirmation bias.
Now if you know these things, like I do, it is clear what is occuring and that the person with this "ability" is deluding themselves. if someone thought they could fly, and told you they were going to jump of a cliff, would you not try to step in and explain why they are wrong?
That is all i have done. and to do that, you need logic and science
