281. Commusings: The Sound of Sadness
b'Sound is a neurological phenomenon. In the air, it\\u2019s just a wave form. It\\u2019s only a sound when your brain decodes it, and then your conscious mind assigns it meaning. What mechanisms, then, allow a series of sounds to express melancholy? And how much of that experience is "real" versus an illusion? Commusings is our format where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
