When one listens to music in times of depression... I honestly think it makes it worse. But it's the fact that you are even more depressed is what the listener enjoys. This kind of emotional trigger which is already predetermined when popping in that cd. The listener already knows what to expect, but to feel your heart sink when all the right chords are played together can willingly push the listener to tears, and it feels great. The voice that comes out of the speakers is able to sympathize with the listener, reminding him/her they are not alone. But why do people continuously induce this to themselves? I'm not certain as I do it myself....
In other news, I read that you don't need high IQ to accumulate wealth. In fact, there is a slight inverse relationship with high IQ and wealth. In other words, high IQ can lead to high income, but not necessarily wealth. One hypothesis is because high IQ individuals are reluctant to take chances. They reason themselves to avoid high risk opportunities. Entrepreneurs on the other hand are in fact a little more stubborn but have this brilliant tendency to not listen to other's opinions. This I think is great news because I have concluded that I'm not good at academia no matter how envious I am of their intelligence. I'm sure I picked that up from my Dad....
