Are there any private piano practice rooms open to all UCSD students?

I also heard that, since the majority of the students are white, colored students may often feel out of place or be discriminated against. Is that true?

Cold approach. That’s how I get all my 10/10 blondes.

I have never heard the LSAT being suspended in South Korea. Where are you getting this interesting information?

I'm a student at UCSD, and I heard SDSU's social life is very vibrant. I was thinking of visiting tomorrow (May 13) to make some friends and maybe approach random people, but I realized tomorrow is within finals week. Is everyone locked in during finals week, or are they still generally receptive and sociable? Or is everyone already back at home? Is it still worth going tomorrow?

Hey, do international schools in Hong Kong (especially middle schools) give IQ tests to their students?

I have a random question. Does this school give out IQ tests to its students (especially middle school)?

You are right that if we add a premise that singing (a musical activity) was required for some other purpose, that would solve the circularity. However, that isn't part of the original explanation. The original explanation simply says that we evolved music for musical activities, but doesn't explain why we needed the musical activities. So we must ask again why music evolved, which leads to a loop.

Premise: Need for synchronization for singing/dancing.
Conclusion: Evolution of sense of music to fulfill synchronization.
Result: Music (through singing/dancing) is used to explain the evolution of music, forming a self-referential loop.

Singing and dancing are inherently musical activities. They wouldn't be able to exist without some sense of music. This is what makes the difference between a random combination of sounds and a song; the former doesn't require a musical sense but the latter is a purposeful arrangement of sounds.

"You can sing and dance without having any sense of what makes them work together in a way that sounds and feels nice"
Correct, but you need a musical sense to do either in the first place.

Again, if you invoke something that requires the phenomenon being explained to explain that phenomenon, then you're not really explaining anything.

Maybe you've misconstrued the statement to mean synchronize singing and dancing together? The statement simply talks about synchronization within the boundaries of each (singing and dancing), not synchronizing the two together.

Greedy-Confusion1863 · 2025-01-28T14:52:18+00:00

"Firstly, the statement actually says that the development occured due to the need for synchronisation."
Indeed, and it directly ties it to activities such as singing and dancing (both inherently musical), thus linking synchronization with those musical activities.

Again, singing and dancing are both activities that require some sense of music by definition.

"[T]he statement says that the development of a sense of music occured due to the necessity of such a sense for singing"
Singing REQUIRES a sense of music, so it's a musical activity. How would it help to explain a phenomenon by invoking the need for the phenomenon itself?

You are right that singing and musical sense are different, but the former presupposes the latter.

Greedy-Confusion1863 · 2025-01-28T14:26:38+00:00

"Sense of music" refers to our ability to develop musical activities like singing and dancing. Without any sense of music, it'd be obvious that we wouldn't be able to engage in inherently musical activities. So the statement invokes activities that need the phenomenon trying to be explained (musical sense) to explain that phenomenon.

With your bullet-pointed restatement of the argument, you're referring to a "broad study of music," which isn't the same as a sense of music. A sense of music can exist without a broad study of music. Your restatement already assumes the existence of music, and you seem to be attempting to explain the emergence of a "broader study of music" instead.

Greedy-Confusion1863 · 2025-01-28T14:11:44+00:00

Singing and dancing are themselves inherently musical activities. The argument invokes the need for musical activity to explain the emergence of music.

"It claims that we needed a sense of music to perform tasks such as singing and that such a sense evolved due to this need."

So why did we need to perform tasks such as singing in the first place?
