“Maybe my next book will be Kanye West Was a Neuroscientist. He’s making use of the same musical principles as Beethoven, the same idea of building toward a pattern but then denying the listener that pattern by injecting randomness, because that unexpectedness is what your auditory cortex really craves.”
Rhodes Scholar Jonah Lehrer (Matt’s cousin) in a past Wired Q&A; prior to explaining “you’re just a massively distributed parallel network.” Curious fellow. (via boutofcontext)
As far as I know, not really my cousin. This reminds me that I need to finish reading Gödel, Escher, Bach.
