Summary

Dennis and Julie start with the power of the ear/hearing… the importance of sound, and Dennis ponders if the eye/sight is intellectual? They explore the power of memories… audio recordings, old films, pictures, and home videos. People live in their present… they do not know the end of the story… that’s why it’s important not to judge people outside of the context their time. Other topics include: funerals versus celebrations of life; nonconfrontation of difficult reality; Numbers 15:39; lower taxes equals smaller government and smaller government equals less evil; the wise one is the one who sees consequences; Sowell’s - stage one thinking; good and evil; Adam and Eve… and the serpent.

You know, I so love this opening theme that I wonder how many people tune into Dennis and Julie

0:38.4

just to hear the music. Credit to Richard Friedman. Correct. And his wife, Leslie.

0:44.6

Correct on both. I really do. And it puts me in a mood, doesn't it? It's an interesting question.

0:54.9

This is so typical of us, I can't believe it. I know. I got completely off everything.

0:59.6

I was going to think about it. Can any of our sensory perceptions trigger the emotions

1:11.2

that sound does, specifically music, but sound in general? This is so typical you. And by the way,

1:17.4

I love it. It's what makes you unique. Smell perhaps. So I thought of smell, but it's rare.

1:25.6

When I smell a certain my mom uses Joe Malone perfume. And when I smell that, I think of my mom.

1:32.0

Yeah, it's powerful. It's very powerful. In fact, when I smell it, I think of your mom too.

So let me just go through this. So the power of sound is unrivaled in most ways,

not in every way, but I'll give you an example. I'm laughing because I'm sort of laughing at me.

2:02.4

I mean, I don't know how many people have ever made this experiment conducted this experiment to

2:07.7

speak better English. Watch a horror movie without sound. And it is not one fifth scary.

2:20.0

That's interesting. Well, you say that the ear is more powerful than the eye. I'd like you to
