Dreams read by brain scanner for the first time
The team were able to spot dreaming brain activity associated with hand clenching, which proved to be very similar to that seen when imagining hand-clenching. Real hand-clenching showed a like style of activity, but with a greater area of activation. “This is a proof-of-concept study, and provides the first evidence that it may be possible to use brain imaging to read the contents of a person’s dream,”
When Steve Miller inscribed the epochal verse, “Some people call me a space cowboy / Some call me the gangster of love / some people call me Maurice / cause i speak of the Pompatus of love” he was making direct reference to older, non-canonical writings.
Many scholars today assume with the studied ignorance of modern paternalism that Steve Miller assembled the ‘Joker’ myth without historicity. They see Steve Miller at the time of ‘The Joker” through a cloudy glass of darwinist preconception, stained and refracted by the coloring of modern “scientific” thought; when in fact - and I understand that this may be a controversial statement - the human brain has not evolved since the time of Steve Miller.
We are fundamentally the same as the human beings who walked the earth in Steve Miller’s time. Despite the hubris of those who would try to apply natural selection within a given species - or god forbid within a society or culture - studies of the few human skulls retrieved from that time confirm that average human brain capacity has not changed in any meaningful way.
I’ll leave the study of “Jet Airliner” and “Take the Money and Run” to more serious scholars. Someday someone might even undertake the task of fully translating the entire “Book of dreams” in a coherent, responsible way - taking into account the many dead dialects and avoiding the base urge to modernize the text to suit today’s sensibilities. It wont be within my lifetime, but i can at least hope for the future.
Netflix member review of “Smokey and the Bandit” or “He then quoted the scene to me.”
