INTJ - what people think

INTJ what people think: Always so well put together.

INTJ in reality: Pacing back and forth with anxiety, frantically looking through notes to get a perfect grade on the test, crying from being socially overwhelmed, being a freaking MESS when no one is looking.

Obviously doesn’t apply to everyone.

Being INTJ is

-looking calm and composed yet feeling anxious

-liking predictability and structure yet being mostly friends with P

-being good is crisis yet choosing a stable work environment to think

-not liking people yet working to help people

-being a good leader yet choosing no to

-looking cold while being very caring

-telling people to relax yet working 24/7

-looking well put together yet being super clumsy

like you can tell me all you want how the sound is stored in the grooves but fucking H O W

HOW DOES THAT GET INTO THE NEEDLE

HOW ARE THE VIBRATIONS TURNED INTO MUSIC THAT YOU CAN HEAR???

The vibrations aren’t “turned into” music, they are music. When vibrations occur inside your inner ear, your brain processes this as sound.

The grooves in a record are an analogy for these vibrations, a method of remembering them so that they can be recreated later on.

Put your hand on a speaker while loud music is playing and you’ll feel the vibrations. Those are exactly the same vibrations happening inside your ear when you hear the music.

But how do you capture that?

Take a surface that vibrates strongly when a sound is played, like the skin of a drumhead for example. Connect that surface to a little tool - when sound causes the surface to vibrate, the tool digs a little bit into some wax, leaving behind a pattern that matches - in proportion - the vibrations of the surface caused by the sound. This is your analogy (hence: analog music).

Now, when there’s no sound playing, you run that little tool back over the pattern. This causes the skin to vibrate again, this time in response to the tool running over the pattern instead of because of an external sound. The vibrations should match, proportionally, the original vibrations of the music.. and thus these new vibrations, if you were to amplify them, would be a recreation or “recording” of the original music.

That’s oversimplified of course and things have changed a lot since the days of wax, but that is very basically how the process of recording music worked at first, and the general idea of how sound gets from a groove in a record into your brain.
