Cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol -- the usual drugs and their dangers are familiar to most children and parents alike. Is sound an equally dangerous "gateway drug"?
As preposterous as that idea sounds, it's precisely what the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics claims. They are warning parents of a dangerous new drug -- binaural sound.

Is this like Kathryn Bigelow’s “Strange Days”, where Ralph Fiennes plays a sleazy ex-cop in a dystopian LA, peddling “wire-tripping” gizmos? That you stick on your head and groove out to someone else’s experiences?
Next in his sights is to outlaw 3-D movies.
Cops are as stupid as regular people.
I’m listening to it right now. I’m afraid that you’re going to have to do the drugs FIRST if you’re going to get anything out of it.
Yow! Gates of Hades got real loud and uncomfortable. So much for that.
The Pearl Jam track “Nothing As It Seems” sounds pretty god tho’.
now you’re talking. Absolutely awesome Floydness. I always follow it up with Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict, and Care with that Axe Eugene.
Awesome!

Loud sound IS ADDICTIVE and has been demonstrated to produce similar
DOPAMINE HIGHS as drugs and other addictions.
—sugar highs
—sex
—runner’s high
—workaholism
—alcoholism
That’s one of the reasons I’m so solidly against church music above 85-90db
There are also sophisticated sound frequency & frequency sequencing techniques that have been proven to be very hypnotic. And once such a ‘connection’ is established, all kinds of powerfully influencing content can be slid in on that hypnotic channel.
People who scoff at such realities are mostly uninformed . . . even grossly ignorant about current state of the ‘art’ stuff . . . I’d say . . . black arts.

Fact.
I heard that belts can lead children into a false sense of security. /s
Don’t forget Echos and One of These Days I’m Going to Cut You Into Little Pieces
It sounds like a rehash of the 1970’s “Noise Pollution.”
Nice to see you.
Are loud posts addictive?
heh heh heh

Let’s ban everything!
It’s only a matter of time ‘til they determine that certain colors are detrimental. I think it’s a secret plot by the Amish to force their way of life on us. /s

also, google “Binaural Brainwave Synchronizer” - there used to be one as part of Cool Edit before they were bought out by Adobe.
Loud posts? Whatever can you mean?
Besides, my keyboard has a great mute button.
LUB.
Getting slowly better.
Do you have a link handy on that post of yours of the Ferraro quotes I still plan to get to?
Hope your stuff is better.
Silly is silly
and wisdom is wisdom.
