Waiting for Validation: killing the yeast

Playing music can be good for your brain
Stanford researchers find it helps understanding of language
- Carrie Sturrock, Chronicle Staff Writer

Don’t we know this already?
Doesn’t it simply make sense?
Particularly to those of us who naturally cursed/endowed with a greater measure of intelligence residing in the right-brain?
But until science ratifies a hunch, in the real world, it exists simply as instinctual response.

We know, yet we don’t know.

Must we wait for the academic elite to codify, substantiate and validate our every intuition?
Will we even be alive (or still within the educational system) by the time this process has been completed?

We are after all, gifted with the ability to see ahead and often far too far in the distance. Call it an occupational/avocational hazard. Those things in life, which make perfect sense to us, are often generally misunderstood in the present; by the time they are accepted, we odd folk have already moved on to something else that again seems a mystery to most everyone else yet is wholly rational to us.
As artists we have to carry on, despite the critical obstacles that are often placed in the path ahead, an unavoidable ingredient of an artist’s predicament.

Often, by the time such validation has been reached the kernel concept has long been extinguished and is no longer viable for the originator.

Proofing the pudding. Such a lengthy and uncreative process.
