This is a low-tech device comprised
of a pocket sized soundproof
box, and a hollow tube that branches
and ends in earplugs,
much
like a stethoscope. Although, unlike
a stethoscope the device is
intended to hear nothing at all.
Most of the designing Is
invested
in
soundproofing
the box, which
contains a pin attached to a
magnet
that drops on the push of the device's
single button. The
magnet
simply moves in and out of a sheath
that allows contact with the
pin.

A further development towards
hearing yourself think would be
to develop the Hear Horn. From a
young age children are
trained to beat out a steady rhythm
in morse code using the
muscles of their inner ear using
stream of consciousness typing
on a computer that electostimulates
the muscle of the inner ear
with the morse code signal for each
letter typed. Eventually
this process of conditioning will
result in the innr ear beating
out your thoughts letter by letter.

If a pin drops in a soundproof box and
nobody hears it, does a mime die … ? |
|
| |
Heh, I can do that Morse code Eustachian-tube click thing. (+) |
|

No, you can't. That clicking noise you think
you hear is Elbonian
Brain Beetles tucking in to their dinner, i.e.
your cerebrum. |

well they're in for a treat then, very tender, barely used. |

I've always thought that a cathedral is a perfectly
designed place for one person alone to come to the
conclusion that thoughts are things, becuase, when
you are in a cathedral by yourself you have complete
stillness and silence in a regularly shaped, stone
container, so that every sound you make is
reverberated back to you. It makes it easy for you to
notice that sounds and actions that you may have
previously thought were internal to you, actually
have an effect on the outside world. |

They're also perfect places to fly radio-
controlled model helicopters. |

The custodians do, however, seem a trifle
intolerant. Oddly, when it's pointed out that
there are signs prohibiting smoking, food and
drink, flash photography and dogs (excpet
assistance dogs) but nothing that says" No
radio-controlled model aircraft", they can
become surprisingly abusive. It came as a
shock to discover that Bishops know that sort
of language, and unfortunately those pole
things with a hook on the end that they have
make depressingly efficient swatters. Do they
not realise that model aircraft are quite
expensive to repair ? Mean-spirited, we call
it. |
