> If you step back and look at it, letting vibrations in the air control your emotional state is kinda a scary proposition, no?

How is that different than letting reflections of light off of objects control your emotional state? Do you also have no emotional reaction to art, or even as simple as preferring a certain color?

I'm not them, and don't find that scary at all (speech certainly affects my emotional state!) but I don't have any color preference, or feel like I have anywhere near the emotional reaction to art that other people do.

Are you suggesting visuals of any kind do not create an emotional reaction for you? I'm not sure what the point of your comment is otherwise.

Would painting a room bright pink be no different to you than painting it black? Does looking at roadkill or a corpse feel absolutely no different to you than viewing something most would consider calming like a sunset, flowers or someone who you consider to be beautiful? If you do feel different, then yes, light reflecting off of objects does create an emotional reaction to you.

No, it's great, it's like having a cheap, legal, safe drug that can be used as a downer or upper, and more.
