Yea that’s fair, I didn’t write this with LW in mind but I should have considered dropping/trimming introduction as it’s not as necessary for this audience.… Interesting, I’ve heard similar thoughts to yours regarding music from quite a few people. This makes me think that the ubiquity of art in the modern world is affecting us more than we may realize. Curious what research exists on long-term effects of music/art consumption, although this would be hard to study I guess (which is why I’m suspicious that there is something we haven’t yet appreciated).
I was in Denver recently and there is street art (giant colorful murals) everywhere. It seems like this is almost universally regarded as a good thing vs. looking at concrete walls, but now I’m skeptical. There is at least some evidence that students learn less and get more distracted in busy classrooms for what it’s worth.
