RE: Music Science: Is music innate?
Thank you for this great article. I enjoyed reading it. When you think about it, the scales we are used to are just like the decimal system. There is no reason not to use another system. The duodecimal system is even objectively better. But we are used to thinking in tens and hundreds.
A second part would be awesome :)
That's true! We are historically pretty inefficient people. Even language itself as it stands inhibits our ability to communicate specific ideas and emotions, to the point that often only a single language out there can express them... there's always a better way!
Yes, we have many of those in Germany. For example, green Jello is called Waldmeister-Götterspeise which literally translated means master-of-the-woods-food-of-the-gods. And then there is "weltschmerz", "schadenfreude", and "fernweh". You could write pages about them. Maybe I will do that 🤔
