Critical listening and altered states
Sigh. Wrong again. Ok, I give up. Instead, a koan: The words all flow, Yet meaning hides in the prose, Mind in tangled knot. And a limerick: There once was a poster online, Whose temper was awfully inclined To flare at a tweet, Then stomp tin... 
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?

A.I. had been trained "reading" how many books do you think ? He can perfectly resume a new book in seconds... Try it... It is wrong half the time about reasoning in context yes  you are right here .  But the facts he gathered can be sourced... ...

Acoustics? That absolutely makes no sense in the context of this conversation, You are right. Acoustic wall panels had no place in a conversation about altered states and critical listening... But if you dare to google search acoustics as scie...
