Bullshit? for president?

Apparently, music has a more direct connectino to the brain than speech because it doesn't have to go through the conduit that converts speech into language. The drawback of this is that those who are very knowledgeable of music theory may run the risk of creating a similar conduit in the brain whose purpose is to convert music to english language. At that point, it's possible that they don't hear the music at all, just the chord names and reasons why the music works[or doesn't]. One possible analogy is to compare situations where you don't understand the language being spoken to situations where everyone is speaking your native tongue. The former gives us straight up audio-input with no defitinos or meanings attached while the latter is more like a bunch of related meanings. Our rationaly-trained mind is subject to thinking the same way a computer does and follows logic tables which are programmable in binary. The problem is that our input is probably an analog style input which would give us a continuous stream of informatino. When we analyse this with our digital style of thinking, informatino [beauty?] is lost.

do you suggest that to fully appreciate something, we must not be able to understand it?
