True. You really need to be your own advocate. But if your doctor isn't able to help you, you should keep looking. Somebody out there might know how t...

Sure. Primates originally evolved in the PETM. There's no reason to think we won't rock and roll through the next 10,000 years. And we aren't in a mas...

Could be. If you have access to pubmed you can look up "musical imagery". There's reason to believe that the left side of your brain is "communicating...

I'm kind of befuddled that you don't see the problem with this. Oh well. Cool discussion, thanks!

I don't generate any internal humming when I sing with others, so I have no idea what you're talking about. :up:

That's correct. Could also be an evil demon or brain in vat.

It's not a cultural or social class though. It appears to be biological. There's a genetic anomonly that's associated with perfect pitch. On the other...
