Skinny Mary
Dollcee said, do you think a citizen could be really clever with somethings and really dumb with other things?
Dos said, that sounds like a good description of most citizens. From a musician’s point of view, to get good at something will usually be at the expense of something else and that is not only a result of how long is needed for development. It can also be a result of attitude and even physical factors.
Dollcee said, I agree with you about how long you practice for. A lot practice is required to get comfortable with playing some rhythms.
Dos said, what strikes me as interesting is how often I read on the line about some celebrity is gifted. Yet, I have never read an article about a plumber called Thomas, being gifted. Have seen how Thomas handles the sanitary snake, what a genius, he is so blessed. Oh, have you heard Skinny Mary’s new song, it is amazing, what a great big bum she has when she is so skinny.
Dollcee said reflectively, I am sort of really ignorant about a lot things, but I am capable with other things. One day I want to be a totally relaxed rhythm creature. I don’t want to be so out there, that I can’t connect with other citizens, I want to get so far into the groove, I get reported as ‘lost in action’.
Cybo said, it will happen Dollcee if you stay devoted to the groove. At some point in the future, I would like to be so aware of language, that I can understand most sounds. Not necessarily the meaning, the intent will be enough.
Dos said, that is interesting Cybo, I wonder how many different types of language exist.
Cybo said, anything that can communicate a message is a language and we are probably very unaware of the possibilities.
Dos said, I wonder if citizens only used maths as a means of communicating, similar to the messages from the nerves and chemicals, whether that would reduce conflicts.
Cybo said, I think you are describing machine language there, Dos.
Dollcee said, it would not take long for some smarty pants to adapt algebra to be able to communicate emotions of anger and jealousy and what not.
Dos said, now that is a funny concept, an angry and jealous mainframe that is depressed because it feels left behind by some new techno breakthrough that can only operate on a hand held device.
