cruising for burgers Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 im pretty sure that a blind person can visualize shapes. just not certain details in the objects. they have hands, which they use to create the shape in their mind. thats why theyll touch someones face to get a rough approximation of what they look like. so it leads me to believe that they could then be able to dream of those shapes. it's not an approximation of what shape it looks like, it's a different sense, you just feel, touch, you don't imagine shapes... me thinks... bats don't see sounds, they feel sounds, and they move according to them, but they don't see a spectrogram in their head with their eyes closed, methinks lol yes, what tauboo said...

cruising for burgers Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 i think people get confused because people who haven't always been blind, experience mental imagery from touch (just like anyone does). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone remembers the movie Daredevil (horrible movie by the way) a blind guy couldnt create those outlines that Daredevil did? of course not to the extreme that he did, but something similar to that.

YEK Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 i was thinking about this today. like, when most people dream the main parts of the dream that sticks is imagery/symbols if blind people only dream of sound??? would their dreams be like poetry? could they write a book with these dreams?

Are they secretly farmers?they make a living from their music ya idiot I mean how do they make a living given that they don't do live shows, nor have released anything in years. Autechre, Aphex Twin make their living not through sales of their releases, not even through touring in Autechre's case, but with one-off live shows. BOC don't do these, ergo how do they make a living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I bought a turntable recently (it's my first one)... It's a manual turntable... I guess my question is, towards the end of a vinyl, it will just keep playing right? If I don't like, grab the tonearm right at the end of the vinyl can it damage the needle in some way? sorry I'm noob, never listened to music from an analog source...

They usually deal with that shit. Little known fact: Vinyl monkeys used to be very poorly trained; often becoming distracted by their own masturbatory activities, leading to frequent record damage. Angry audiophiles would sometimes punish these poor primates, eventually leading to the phrase 'spank the monkey' becoming a popular euphemism for compulsive self-stimulation. hope this helps.
