Thought Experiment
Short reading followed by my commentary – but be warned! I’m making a point with this “thought experiment.” Let me know in the comments how listening made you feel and how far you got before wanting to turn it off.

I have long held the opinion that the amount of noise that anyone can bear undisturbed stands in inverse proportion to his mental capacity and therefore may be regarded as a pretty fair measure of it. – Arthur Schoepenhauer
Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation... - Jean Arp
You cannot hear music and noise at the same time – Henry David Thoreau
He who sleeps in continual noise is wakened by silence. – William Dean Howells
