I bubbelieve that we the people are
just like bubbles.
We are all different shapes, colours and sizes,
just like bubbles
and some of us last longer than others,
just like bubbles...
and though our surface tensions may vary,
we all come from the same Source,
just like bubbles.
All bubbles come from joy.
All people come from Love, because only Love exists.
When we don't know we come from Love,
we fall in Love.
When we realize we come from Love,
we rise in Love...
just like bubbles.

Music, Mind, and Meaning
Marvin Minsky
Computer Music Journal, Fall 1981
Why do we like music? Our culture immerses us in it for hours each day, and everyone knows how it touches our emotions, but few think of how music touches other kinds of thought. It is astonishing how little curiosity we have about so pervasive an "environmental" influence. What might we discover if we were to study musical thinking?
Have we the tools for such work? Years ago, when science still feared meaning, the new field of research called 'Artificial Intelligence' started to supply new ideas about "representation of knowledge" that I'll use here. Are such ideas too alien for anything so subjective and irrational, aesthetic, and emotional as music? Not at all. I think the problems are the same and those distinctions wrongly drawn: only the surface of reason is rational. I don't mean that understanding emotion is easy, only that understanding reason is probably harder. Our culture has a universal myth in which we see emotion as more complex and obscure than intellect. Indeed, emotion might be "deeper" in some sense of prior evolution, but this need not make it harder to understand; in fact, I think today we actually know much more about emotion than about reason....
