So you’ve already had some food for thought about why you can’t just turn an oven higher, like burning the outside of the food, and melting the oven.

There’s a cooking aspect too. Not all food is just instantly cooked to what we want when it reaches a specific temperature.
An example would be like beef stew, or pulled pork. It is technically edible very early on in the process, but the breakdown of muscle fibers, fats, collagens etc takes time to get to the soft falling apart phase appropriate for the dish.

unless you actually have a plan in place they usually aren't actually allowed to hold you against your will like that

like if they ask if you have suicidal thoughts and you say yes they'll ask if you have a plan in place or an idea about how you'd do it - thats the part you say no to even if you do

The need for survival and strength in numbers. Music brings people together, which, in turn helps our chances of survival.

"She bop, he bop, we bop I bop, you bop, they bop Be bop, be bop, a lu bop (I hope he will understand)

She bop, he bop, we bop I bop, you bop, they bop Be bop, be bop, a lu she bop Oh, she do, she bop"

Heh, at 6000 degrees the steel the oven was made from would melt, as would any glass parts. You would have a nice pile of red hot molten steel and glass burning through your floor.

There are people who don't enjoy any kind of music. I've known high functioning autistic people who simply had no interest in music. It didn't affect them.

From someone that experiences this 'call of the void' almost daily, I've spent long enough with it now that it doesn't make me anxious anymore, I know what it does and how it makes me feel. I can never just shrug if off but I can get passed it, it leaves me ruminating for the rest of the day.startung with a flash thought. What happens if I yank the steering wheel right? And then hit that barrier. I will then spend the day thinking about different speeds, other types of vehicles involved and the list goes on. I do want to say that I'm not suicidal, I don't wish to take my own life but I am OK with dying

>cost of $50,000

Damn where do you live that it costs so much.

I don't suppose you've got any recommendations for scientific literature that deals with intrusive/obsessive thoughts, do you?

I struggle with this stuff pretty severely (repetitions of phrases like, "you're worthless trash" etc. at <5 minute intervals, all day, every day, for decades). I've been through many years of medication and therapy/mindfulness/etc., and nothing has been even remotely effective on this front.

Dense material is best, but I'll eagerly take anything at all that might be helpful or interesting.

Vsauce did a video on this a while ago. From what I remember - when standing at a cliff, two parts of your brain are conflicting: One part wants you to pull back out of danger, while another part realizes that you aren't in any immediate danger. Your brain resolves this by making up something like you intended to jump or push someone.

That's how Lisa Simpson made the fries that were burnt on the outside but still frozen on the inside.

That could be cause for concern if you find its happening more frequently. My ideation started that way and without correction became an attempt. It could be nothing but better to be aware.

Humans are a prosocial species. Cognitive and behavioral adaptations with social benefits, such as empathy, are strongly selected for. The ability to positively regulate the mood of others and the ability to have your mood positively regulated by others is a powerful one for a social species. Dopamine buttons like smiling and touching are powerful tools for a prosocial species. A brain that releases a massive amount of dopamine in response to music is exactly that ability.

The ability to understand music evolved due to the pressures that selected for speech and language. Blissful enjoyment of music is itself a social ability that was selected for by the same pressures that favored enjoyment of touch and laughter.

Your math is wonky especially using a Fahrenheit scale, but let’s assume that overall heat remains the same but over a different amount of time.
Cooking generally requires that you cook the food all the way through, and the heat takes time to get from the outside of the food to the inside. So if you cook too fast the heat will cook the outside, but never have time to cook the inside before that outside gets over-cooked and burns.

>there is nothing wrong with talking to a therapist if you really feel like acting on these things

Actually... if you tell people you are having suicidal thoughts, you may quickly find yourself losing autonomy and be held in a hospital for a week for observation at a cost of $50,000

Deaf folks like music too. The feel of the beat or a loud bass. Not answer to your question but wanted to add on :)

The feeling of liking something is almost synonymous with releasing dopamine. Both things always happen together, and it's not any kind of new discovery.

So you're not really explaining why humans like music. You're just explaining what "liking" something means on a hormonal level.

Ooh that's a good one for this sub.

These thoughts are triggered when you, or more specifically your brain overheats.

When your brain overheats you react to otherwise neutral stimuli as if you were being attacked, hence the swearing as a defense mechanism.

It’s called Thermoregulatory Fear of Harm Mood Disorder.

Preventative cooling activities can really help and also ketamine too.

The brain finds pleasure in structures, patterns, rhythm, predictability and the sound frequencies that operate around the speech spectrum. As for more complex forms of music, there is also a great degree of intellectual stimulation (not dissimilar to completing a puzzle, for example). We also enjoy music as a form of communication, as musical forms and ideas have developed intertextual meanings over time, which enhance and help support the message in a deeper way than say, just reading the words to a song (rhyming is a form of pattern making in language). The triad - a most basic, common form of chord - includes elements of the harmonic series which appear in spontaneously in nature.

If you saw say a dramatic car accident, your body would naturally react by focusing on it. Your eyes widen. You become so hyper focused that time seems to slow down. This instinct probably helped our ancestors better avoid perilous events by being sure we took in every detail when they happen so we could better avoid them in the future.

When you are on the edge of a cliff and think about what would happen if you fall, your mind identifies that as another perilous event. It starts to become hyper focused on that thought just like seeing an actual perilous event would because it has trouble distinguishing the difference. It's not that you want to fall off the edge. Quite the opposite. But you can't help but think about falling off the edge because your instincts compel you to become focused on such events.

Thank you!
