Music can also activate intelligence. Neuroscience has shown that especially Bach's music, unlike contemporary music, reacts with all areas of the brain. Due to it's complex counterpoint and fugal structures it basically works like multitasking muscle training because the brain has to identify several independent voices simultaneously instead of just one, simple, repetetive, accompanied melody.

You're right. His comments are about the relationship between *openness* and music. But he also said intelligence and openness are commonly linked. So... 85% click bait? :)

[@mohannadali9662]

@@virus2003 eh, well honestly the man is pretty precise in his speech. So if he would've mentioned that specific relationship, he'd have done it much more directly, at least as far as I know him. The other thing's that, from the video, openness is more of an unrestricted broadness of the scope of any given idea (that tends to change probably according to the individuals ability to form associations on the spot, and or any other associations that are premade and are merely retrieved. But that's not a part of the video, just something I thought of that might interest you or anyone else reading. Maybe that's the link, I wouldn't know). Even though music can invoke an awe, that is, interest it could also be the case that it isn't from the music per se, it's from an idea associated to it. I mean who's to say which is which, maybe even both. This was rather pleasant. Thanks for the comment; it made me think more deeply and consider watching the entire lecture.

Always fascinating to hear Mr Peterson speaking. But as a musician, I was looking forward to hearing what his take is on the effect that music has on the brain and its development, be it learning to play or simply appreciating good music (entirely subjective). I don't feel like I've lost four minutes and forty two seconds of what's left of my life but I have to wonder about who it is that decides how videos here are titled.

[@terryblanchard5842]

Entirely subjective, listening to L Zeppelin " Stairway to Heaven" or Hans Zimmer musical score to the song " Danny Boy" to Clapton's " Can't find my way home, or Badge", it's chills, awe, nostalgia with all the bells and whistles. Knowing that the musicians behind it might prefer thier personal favorite a song I thought Ok. It's totally subjective. I know my dog loves my music, she likes anything. There is a few small studies on effects of music on animals. MRIs see some effect, nothing solid at all, but when a dog sees it's master, the MRI lights always light up. Music to thier ears? Just saying...

I'm more interested in his takes on different musical genres. Like sure I can appreciate Led Zep but recently I'm more struck by black metal music and how music can evoke sorrow and depression, not just happy and uplifting feelings.

[@the3foremicsseacraftsoundc709]

what i find most interesting about intelligence related to music is the knowledge factor itself. So you may be intelligent but never learned to play anything due to a variety of reasons. When or if you learn to play later it is usually through someone teaching you. But what they teach you and how they teach you directly influences your ears and brain later. So music you used to like a lot may sound not as good to you later after some time spent learning to play due to this. This amazes me and to the point that I have gone out of my way to learn to play without anyone teaching me at young age of 47 just to kind of prove this to myself. Now I have picked up some knowledge along the way that I wanted to tighten up some of my own music making attempts so nothing wrong with that for each individual. But I don't think people realize this. I attempted to learn to play in the later 90's and didn't get very far with it at all but I did notice then that I was already not liking some of the music that I had otherwise loved before that point. I didn't like this as that music meant more to me than that and it caught me off guard a little. So when i moved on with my career as a technician i put the guitar down and gave up on it at that time as I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with it anyway. Within a very short period of time that feeling about some of my favorite music not being as good as I thought went away and I found myself enjoying it again. This blows me away still that I would change my opinion on music by trying to learn to play it lol. But it's true. So I went a totally different route this time and when I picked the guitar back up a couple years ago I immediately just starting writing my own music and trying to put together some songs (have recorded about 35 of em since). I have had no instruction from anyone other than a couple tidbits from people i picked their brain on here and there. This time I find I still love all the same music that I used to without change. Now I don't know if I am very intelligent or average or below average / i repaired motorcycles for 23 years that most people didn't know how to and that's why they brought em to me but every one of em was its own process of troubleshooting and figuring it out so maybe I am at least average there. Point being though and this is why I thought I would mention this / I am not sure if there is not a difference in intelligence and knowledge at a high level. I have jokingly stated that I don't want to learn anymore about the technicalities of music or theory because I want to keep being able to write / try that one on and see it makes sense to ya / lol / it may not but I found this very intriguing and am still kind of in awe of it myself. Not saying everything I have written or composed since is great but there was so much freedom to not knowing theory and writing that way that it felt like I managed to write a lot easier. Now I have picked up more knowledge since by default as I have done this every day pretty much for almost 2 years now and suddenly my song writing has slowed down and can at times be a little more stressful due to that as I am getting pickier than before / keep in mind I still like all the songs I wrote before this just as much / WOW is all I can say the more I think about that. It tells me our ears train the brain which turns around and influences our taste in things a lot more than I ever realized before.

[@the3foremicsseacraftsoundc709]

I would love to discuss this with someone who has studied the brain and could analyze the information I am giving them here to things they know about the brain. I know I get a lot better reactions out of some of the music I have put out there from people who don't play music than the one's that do / especially the one's who have done it their whole lives so to speak. And I am my own worst critic like a lot of people so I don't think I am just a homer to my own music / i think there really is something to this because I still got ears and I hear what's on the radio and youtube and whatnot / some i like some i don't same as always has been so my ears work ok and a lot of the bands and musicians I like otherwise are the same as other people like too / or at least enough people liked em' they made careers out of it so I am very interested in why / most other things in life like sports for example, I found I liked em' more the more I learned about em' but not music for some reason. And I wonder what is different about it that makes that different for me individually.

A lot of people are not understanding what he's trying to say because they wish that what he says speaks more so about themselves rather than others. We all wish to be special, unique and anything that sets us apart from others we lap up. I believe what he's trying to say that experiencing a form of art can potentially instil and transcend someone into another domain of creativity. This differs on the person and how inspired they are and what they're trying to achieve. The openness is linked with how restrained the walls are around your brain, if you automatically reject ideas from source A or source B because it's preconditioned (for example if you follow a certain religion and only draw your creativity from that religion and reject anything that's not associated with it, this would be telling of your openness). Of course you also need to be able to comprehend the higher creativity echelons to contribute to it. To sum up, if I'm inspired by one story and comprehend it well because I'm intelligent enough to do so and push it further than it's original form; This is worse than being inspired by multiple stories and being intelligent enough to comprehend them, It's better to be inspired by the many and not the one. For how complex is the human and how intelligent must a person be to summarise it simply.

So this is going to be fun. I hope Jordan reads this one day.... I started to read Jung and we're basically the same person. But reckon this instead with music You begin to inhabit the music and learn how to let it transition through you. You can enter into music and prayer and it becomes you. The world around you changes and you see a kind of shine. Your mind pieces together various artwork in real life and creates scenes in the real world quite like paintings. You have reached the next level. You are empathic and can look into people. Now you can trigger archetypes with music and narratives and an aesthetically tangible state where you can feel a flow state and almost feel the music pass through you. Almost like a congruency with the world around you and the narrative. Even the universe you can choose to be in union with and it can make you function consciously and collectively. You can harness the power of the collective unconscious and embody public opinion. You can sing in ways that most people simply can't, almost like superhuman and with super human speed. You can enter into transcendent states of mind and you can imagine things deeply where you almost leave your surrounding world with your mind. Almost like walking into a dream.

It troubles me that so many just stumble around faking confidence and then placing ther trust in that bubble, the lie that they've fed and nurtured for themselves. Only trust based in that which is true, confirms itself which then can be manifest as righteous confidence. All other bubbles are burst causing their inhabitants to tumble back to the beginning to start again where they are again enabled to acknowledge the truths that they ignored or overlooked. Comfort and traditions do blind and bind up a person though.

"It's very rare for people to make any major contribution to a creative sphere unless they have an IQ of over 120." Actually, it's very rare for people to make any major contribution to a creative sphere simply because most people will not have the opportunity to do so. Socio-economic status, race, geography and an abundance of considerations are factors that will prevent most of the people in the world from making any major contributions.

One time someone online asked me to listen and rate their music samples, since it was an interesting situation that I've never experienced before, I decided to listen to his entire playlist, most of it were bland to me, a few were good, but one track had a beat drop in it that when I heard for the first time made the hairs on the back of my head stand up, it's like I got electrical shock. So that's my experience of having goosebumps from listening to music I guess. But when I told him about that part he didn't seem too surprised by it, which gave me the impression that he thought the opposite of what I thought about that specific track.

There With Me by Travis of Bickley For three quarters of a century I have been alone. My father and mother, my sisters and brothers, all around and loving me, but with that love, I was alone. I have had friends by my side, all around and loving me, yet still, I was alone. Fellow students and I did schoolwork as one, but in the end, I was one who continued... to be alone. I worked when told what to do, and when I was the leader, they worked with me, so harmoniously, even though I remained alone. My wife and child loved me as I loved them. So tell me, why was I still alone? My grandchild came and listened, sometimes, and I saw his love overwhelm me, but in his presence, I stayed alone. They have all been THERE WITH ME. All my life, they have been THERE WITH ME and loved me. And I, in turn, have loved them as wholly and holy as I can. We talk, converse, listen, play, work, witness our mutual moments and parallel lives. And I, in a room with all of them or just with only one, and the feeling to the depths of my soul are constantly the same... In this world of theirs and mine, as they are always THERE WITH ME...I am alone. And... I don't know why. I wander about the beauty and glory of all life and being. I want to share this wander of such magnificence, but like a preacher without the choir. or the teacher without the fire, who is there to warm themselves from my flame, or me with their yearnings and burnings. And I think, every one...EVERY ONE! is just as alone on this earth of billions as am I.

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Jordan talks a lot about IQ tests. It would be interesting to know what percentage of those with extremely high IQs (say, at least 180) have actually made mind-blowing innovations or produced artistic masterpieces. (In the case of many historic figures, I gather that their "high IQs" is speculative, or remains a reasonable guess, based on their achievements.) Has the person with the highest recorded IQ done any of the above? I have no doubt that such tests measure a certain layer of intelligence, maybe functional intelligence, but they don't measure the visionary level, which a true genius accesses. In my view, a genius is, essentially, an extremely creative person (no, not merely extremely intelligent), and what he/she creates or makes has not been done before. Or the creator (as seer) sees what hasn't been seen before. In the highest instances, the genius' contribution winds up elevating our collective consciousness. Extremely intelligent people don't necessarily fall in this category, because what they do, while interesting, even fascinating, is still not all that original or innovative. That's why even the majority of great intellectuals are not geniuses. So to reiterate my question: what percentage of those with extremely high IQs are innovative or great artists?

[@konradobidoski5415]

Fascinating comment. Using Hawkins' calibration technique, the answer seems to be 13%. Meaning, 13% of people above 180 IQ are geniuses according to this definition. Genius, again, according to the above definition, seems to be a function of level of consciousness, which we could also call "psycho-emotional development" of sorts.

[@viperracing2889]

Sometimes the expression "creative genious" is used, which in itself suggest that you can score very high on an IQ test without being very creative and vice versa. But a systematic review I read suggested that among the very creative, twice as many, compared to the general population, have an IQ above 120.

[@MrSher22]

There was a study in a book called outliers which tracked children with the highest IQ scores in america and found that most if them turned out to just be average people

[@SP-mf9sh]

I agree with you, I don't think you need a hight iq to create something great. Creativity and the process has nothing to do with neurology imo, ur brain is inclined for it because of neurotransmitters that work uniquely not functionally. High IQ ppl seem to have every aspect of their brain working extremely well with no defects...leaves no room for abstract thought processes. Also iq tests logic and reasoning not abstract thinking or how well you can emote and drag from the subconscious.

[@terencenordberg7482]

He’s not saying that all people with a high IQ are creative, and the higher the IQ the more groundbreaking the creative output. He’s saying there’s a strong correlation between openness/creativity and high IQ. Kinda like if all Brazilian people have black hair, that doesn’t mean all people with black hair are Brazilian.

Like hearing the live version of a song for the first time, and as you sing along the performer takes some liberties and changes the melody, and you did the exact same thing, without ever having heard it before. Or when you hear a completely new song, but are able to follow along anyway, because you understand what the melody's gonna do next.

If I dont like the curtains in my house, this is going to seriously bother me! I do have strong physical response to music; and, curiously... I am also afraid of heights... I have a neurological response that I feel in my feet and lower legs from nerve pathways, that is only triggered by heights. The sensation travels from my feet up towards my knees through the back of my lower legs, and only in that one direction. The heights can be in photos or in person, or from memory recall. Its not triggered by plane flight. It is uncomfortable and literally brings to me to my knees- my instinct is to get very low to the floor and crawl away from the ledge or balcony- even to roll horizontally like a sushi roll. Ive been curious whether other people also experience this!? It does feel like the musical response and my response to heights are from the same type of bodily systems.
