Cocaine, marijuana, tobacco, alcohol -- the usual drugs and their dangers are familiar to most children and parents alike. Is sound an equally dangerous "gateway drug"?
As preposterous as that idea sounds, it's precisely what the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics claims. They are warning parents of a dangerous new drug -- binaural sound.

Oklahoma officials are convinced, though, that it's just the latest way for kids to get high. They call it "i-dosing" and claim that "digital dealers" are selling children the aural equivalent of crack in their eyes.
Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs spokesman Mark Woodward comments, "Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places."

Oh, yeah! So if you play binaural tracks backwards, will you hear "Paul is dead"?
It’s merely one of the more probable options for folks
. . . disdain? . . .
for my training, personality and perspective
without knowing more about me.
“If you’re an Oklahoman then report your neighbor as being in possession of an unregistered flute.”
LOL ‘Officer, it was about 26” long, silver, and full of holes - and it, it, it made me FEEL GOOD! You’ve got to find it and stop it before it happens again!!’
Is it the same as the “brown noise”?
“disdain? . . .for my training, personality and perspective
without knowing more about me.”
Do tell. No more disdain than you showed by labeling me as “stereotypically biased” without knowing more about me.
Did these idiots say the same thing about hi-fi and stereo in the ‘40s and ‘50s?
Perhaps.
However, I beg to differ.
Your assertions first thing out of the bag were at a minimum disdainful if not assaultively hostile.
Given your evident lack of robust knowledge of me,
I’d call that clear evidence of bias.

It's funny now but just wait until some cellist rats out your kid to get a reduced sentence.
It didn’t take “robust knowledge” of you to opine that you appeared paranoid when you highjacked a post about loud sounds to voice concerns about half a dozen other things that can either be destructive or harmless, depending on how they’re employed. Whether you’re excessively paranoid or not who knows, but your initial post certainly came across that way...not to mention that your hyper-reaction to a mildly ascerbic response tends to validate that opinion.
“It’s funny now but just wait until some cellist rats out your kid to get a reduced sentence.”
Damn cellists...never could trust ‘em.
String 'em up! Society is already going down the tubes with too much sex and violins!
“Society is already going down the tubes with too much sex and violins!”
LOL - I bow to your insight.
ROTFLOL.
At least that is more reasonably stated.
Hijacked a post? WOW. What a BIAS! LOL.
That’s a new definition, on me. Speaking specifically to the issues presented in the Opening Post is now considered . . . by some . . . as hijacking a post.
Incredible.
Half a dozen other things? Really?
LOL.
Ah well . . . You’ve been slightly entertaining.
Cheers.
This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...it is my responsibility to enforce all the laws that haven’t been passed yet. It is also my responsibility to alert each and every one of you to the potential consequences of various ordinary everyday activities you might be performing which could eventually lead to *The Death Penalty* (or affect your parents’ credit rating). Our criminal institutions are full of little creeps like you who do wrong things...and many of them were driven to these crimes by a horrible force called MUSIC!
Our studies have shown that this horrible force is so dangerous to society at large that laws are being drawn up at this very moment to stop it forever! Cruel and inhuman punishments are being carefully described in tiny paragraphs so they won’t conflict with the Constitution (which, itself, is being modified in order to accommodate THE FUTURE).
I bring you now a special presentation to show what can happen to you if you choose a career in MUSIC...The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only...if you have to load or unload, go to the WHITE ZONE... you’ll love it...it’s a way of life...Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...Hi, it’s me, I’m back. This is the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER...The WHITE ZONE is for loading and unloading only...If yah gotta load, or if yah gotta unload, go to the WHITE ZONE. You’ll love it...it’s a way of life. That’s right, you’ll love it, it’s a way of life, that’s right, you’ll love it, it’s a way of life, you’ll love it. This, is, the CENTRAL SCRUTINIZER!
Wha'? I don't remember the name Ferraro. Tell me what it's about and I'll go snoop around.
That’s OK.
When I get ready to really tackle it, I can look through your INFORUM stuff.
It’s that doc of Mary stuff that I accused you of rationalizing on.
LUB
Well now, hold on; that's not so unreasonable. Flutes aren't harmless. As the founder of The Society to Beat Jean Pierre Rampal Severely About the Head and Shoulders With David Galway, let me assure you that flute music can cause hives and very likely liver damage.
Okey dokey.
I never looked at the doc itself. I was just saying what -> I <- think when I read those words. Despite my devotion to Mary, I’m not big into the whole rhetorical excess thing myself.
I didn’t THINK
so . . . which was why I was more than a little taken aback at your defense of it.
Though I’m not describing it as you would, myself. LOL.
Sigh.
