Thank you for standing up for the truth about the Far Left pushing people to the Right. When you can no longer state facts without being called any number of terrible things, there is a big problem.

I wonder if it's also possible to tell slippers from boots in other cultures?

It takes YEARS of study to develop an expert opinion on the stupidity of others...

I had a professor (English, though she sang and played piano) who not only believed that gender was a social construct, but that musical interpretation from an emotional standpoint was also largely based on nurture rather that nature.

To be specific, she thought that minor scales made people sad not because of inherent properties but because we are "conditioned" to have that response. The "blank slate" theory truly knows little bounds.

No ethnomusicologist worth their salt would actually suggest such a thing. But I imagine that this doesn't match your dogmatic ideas about social sciences and therefore can't be true.

1. Which ethnomusicologists were asked and what was the question? 2. Did you read the article? “everyone”* = those that have regular and consistent access to the internet and speak English at more than a conversational level. *The sample was seriously skewed.

People at Harvard ; does salt taste like salt in other cultures as well?

Don't compared Sicilian salt to that rockgrind you eat over there.

time to pull out your copies of Leonard Bernstein's "The Unanswered Question" ... his Norton lectures at Harvard drawing analogies between our innate appreciation of tonal music and Chomsky's generative linguistics,

I’m not sure how the results of this study preclude the possibility that we are blank slates. Couldn’t people just be looking for similarities to the song types of their own culture? It doesn’t seem necessary to assume there is a genetic basis for song categorization.
