What is he talking about though?

Simply amazing and interesting human. He was passionate about his work and always hopeful.

Always lovely to see a new (old) clip of dear Dr. Sacks that I hadn’t seen before. ❤

Will Forte needs to play this guy ASAP.

This is so awesome. Great video

Incredible man!

This is so cute🥰🥰🥺🥺

This story is part of On the Move, an autobiography by Oliver Sacks.

My grandmother has this. Blames it on me and my girlfriend and our kid. So bad in fact that she's actually in the process of having us evicted off the property. I'm on the verge of being homeless because of it.

Talking with Chat-GPT4 i have just realised this is me EXACTLY. My wife and i talk all the time about how I cant "hear" music. I cant hear the words being sung. If I read the lyrics i am blown away by the poetry but I cant "hear" it when its being done. MY description was always since I was a kid "its nothing more than noise, I dont get it"

Lady GAga is a curse

It warms my Scandinavian heart that, in 50 or so years n the US, dr. Sacks never lost his nice British accent 😊

My heart

Number one❤

I do wonder how olivier took his Anphetamine.???

I am a super recogniser but also (like Mr Sachs) have aphantasia.

ქართული თაგმანი მაინც დაადე, მარტო რომ დაასათაურე ან საერთოდ არ დადო რა ჯანდაბაა 😡🤣🤣

So I thought I had musical hallucinations for years but only recently I’ve discovered that it’s probably audio pareidolia, I tend to hear music, or a pattern of music repeating itself when I’m around white noise, such as fans, kettle being on, tumble dryers, cars or any motors that are on. People who have musical hallucinations hear it all the time regardless of no white noise. I hope this might help some people who suffer with this, if you have a fan on in your bedroom, it might be better to turn it off

Where can I find this interview in its entirety?

If you don't know something for a fact why do you speculate and say things that are not true?

I did not know that Sacks was in the Everyman Library, but I am not surprised he should be there. He is one of the greatest writers in the English language.

one of the greatest books of the 20th century, along with Awakenings, and also, in my unpopular opinion, A Leg to Stand On

Need to buy this!! ❤ Are more books going to be released in this collection?

A man with greatr wisdom.

Should I react relaxed that It's not just happening with me or should I react sad for all of us. I'm learning music since my childhood. And it somehow resulted in having MES. Generally, I would be happy to listen to music all the time. But, the truth that this is affecting my life quality, concentration and absence of silence is killing me from inside. Till now, I have not disclosed this to anyone in my life. Felt insecure. Its very complicated in my case. If someone know how to switch it off and reads this message, plz let me know. BTW anyone wants to know what song is playing in my mind, now?😅

Oliver's books should be a must-read. RIP, my friend

Prescient

Wow, thank you very much for bringing these words alive here. Much appreciated!

❤

Great job... I whish his thoughts would appear on KZbin more often. Just a short video like this makes me feel so much. Sometimes I used to wish I could meet him. I loved very much also his autobiography.

What happened to his eye??

So funny!

I had face blindness, would recognise their dogs 🐕 though when walking my dog in park . Just bought audio book 📖. The man who couldn’t Reg a hat .

I tend to focus on music I don't like but it happens to songs I do like. Anxiety and stress trigger it. Whats weird is it never happened with the original Dustlamd Fairytale by the Killers, but the one they released last year with Sprignsteen. I've read that Taylor Swift is a huge offender for brain worms and it's definitely the case with me.

That person must have been taking about five times the maximum allowed prescribed dose.

❤❤

He’s right. Why should I have a 🤬 nightmare.

♀︎ : No no I don’t have to read those books too.

His spirit always lifts me up, and I have to smile!☺😍❣

Amps p much cure all of my psychological ailments.

You can literally hallucinate objects and beings into existence because what's happening is you're tapping into that pure abstract creative potential of mind. That's exactly what you want. Of course it can be kind of freaky but music is that times a thousand.

Interesting.

Thank you for sharing!

If you have something that you really want in your life, spend lots of time doing about it. The more you do the more ideas will pop up the more creative your gonna start to get. Your subdoscious mind doesn't care if your vision is crazy. It doesnt care if you dont know how to do it. When you see a thing clearly in your mind, your creative "doing mechanism" within you takes over and does the job much better than you could do it by doscious effort or dopower. A different psychedelic from a different planet every nanosecond. All sorts of dreams are possible. The human nervous system cannot tell the difference between an "actual" doxperience and an doxperience imagined vividly and in detail. Synthesize "experience," to literally create experience, and control it, in the laboratory of our minds. A vision is a very emotional image, the most powerful image that you can come up with for yourself at this time. This vision will become like a hallucination in other peoples mind and this could be the cause of them creating extraordinary things.

Can you tell us about Epstein Island? I saw "Oliver Sacks" on the flight list. Cmon buddy you're so old it doesn't matter if mossad or Rothschild kill you. Name the jews, god can still forgive you. Redeem yourself you old perv

Just sit there to contemplate it all after you come back because you're gonna see such crazy and radical things in these trips. That when you come back you're gonna be like what the fuck was that? And you're gonna spend a week just in the shower, what the fuck was that? Cooking your food, what the fuck was that? Driving to work, what the fuck was that? Sitting at work doing your work, what the fuck was that? Thinking that. Trying to wrap your mind around it. Try to remember and trying to figure it out and that's a very valuable process.

On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.
