@dsgood Darn. Okay, she trains you to optimize your nontypical sensory perceptions. Useful in some sports that may not exist yet. And sex.
20 Sep 2014
@dsgood, September 25: Actually, synesthesia can be useful in physical activities -- including for sports which already exist. I find mine useful this way.
I gather that women are much more likely to have synesthetic responses to sex than men.
Bill Detty @BDetty Sep 20
@dsgood Sudden thought: service animals for the synesthesia-impaired.

Lee Gold 1/30/14: "'How do you define 'hate'?"
Being constantly angry at the person for existing.
"I've never devoted much energy to being angry.
I've sometimes despised people or (more properly, in my judgment) their actions.
I've sometimes feared or been wary of people because they might hurt me.
But most of those attitudes were intellectual decisions, not emotional ones.
"Does your synesthesia extend to emotions?"
Not as far as I'm aware.
"I tend to think of anger as fire color: red or red-orange.
Most of my negative attitudes are ice color: white or gray.
"As a pre-teen, I did lose my temper a few times physically in a fiery berserk rage,lasting for a minute or two, but never felt like that as a constant emotion. Your remark sounds as if you did once experience hate as a constant anger. What color / pattern was it?"
Not as a constant anger, but only when I thought about a person (or organization.)
What I did have constantly was anxiety. Partly from ADHD, partly from family heritage.
And my synesthesia isn't primarily colors these days, but visual/tactile patterns.
stardreamer 01/30/2014 "***From politicalwire.com:
"Deal Book: 'Sheila C. Bair, a former head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation who once argued that former regulators should be barred from joining the banks they oversaw, is joining the board of Banco Santander, the Spanish bank said on Monday.'
"From her 2012 book, Bull by the Horns: 'There should be a lifetime ban on regulators working for financial institutions they have regulated.'"
Re Bair, I suspect that this is a close-parsing issue. As a member of the FDIC, she did not directly oversee banks _in Spain_, so it skates by on a technicality. Whether it passes muster on a moral or ethical basis is a different question.
Why yes, I _have_ read a lot of genie's-wish stories, why do you ask?

Sunday January 19, 2014 I co-led a Minnesota Speculative Writers discussion on "Writing characters with minds different from mine."
Possible topics announced: "Synesthesia" Margaret Taylor (co-leader) and I talked about our personal experiences, with audience discussion. We don't have the same set of synesthesias, though there's overlap.
"Help! I'm a man and I need to write about my woman protagonist falling in love."
"I need to write a character who's a psion. What's a good way to do this?"
"My character is an alien who can see radio waves. What's a good way to do this?"
Each of which could take up an hour and a half of discussion on its own.
Also discussed: Face blindness. Eidetic memory. Different kinds of memory. Writing the opposite gender in general. Writing characters with different sexual orientations or preferences.
My synesthesias include: Sound to visual/tactile patterns. Sight to touch. Tickertape: When I hear people talk, or I think in words, I see it written out. (Never twice in a row in the same font, which I suspect is a bit unusual.) Sound to touch. Thinking in tactile/visual/kinesthetic diagrams.

Friday December 13, 2013 "What's this tickertape thing? Doesn't everybody see spoken words printed out in front of them?"
I keep learning that people often don't know either how differently their minds work from everyone else's, or how similarly they work.

(1) Now we know – The Green Slime is really black. And it’s living inside the Chernobyl reactor!
Like out of some B-grade sci fi movie, a robot sent into the [Chernobyl] reactor discovered a thick coat of black slime growing on the walls. Since it is highly radioactive in there, scientists didn’t expect to find anything living, let alone thriving. The robot was instructed to obtain samples of the slime, which it did, and upon examination…the slime was even more amazing than was thought at first glance.
This slime, a collection of several fungi actually, was more than just surviving in a radioactive environment, it was actually using gamma radiation as a food source. Samples of these fungi grew significantly faster when exposed to gamma radiation at 500 times the normal background radiation level. The fungi appear to use melanin, a chemical found in human skin as well, in the same fashion as plants use chlorophyll. That is to say, the melanin molecule gets struck by a gamma ray and its chemistry is altered. This is an amazing discovery, no one had even suspected that something like this was possible.

Tuesday December 10, 2013 General Mills was dumping nasty stuff in my neighborhood for several decades. Minneapolis city government found out about it in 1981. Now, a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of Southeast Como property owners, to get General Mills to clean the stuff up.
This evening, there was a meeting at Van Cleve Park with the lawyers handling the suit.
The stuff is called TCE. It gets into water; it also vaporizes and gets into indoor air. It's known to cause medical problems, and suspected of causing others.
Repeat: the city government learned of the problem in 1981.
***"Paul Walsh of the Strib says: 'A Twin Cities gymnastics coach has been put on leave after a Cottage Grove father accused him of tattooing his 15-year-old daughter without her parents’ knowledge. Along with being put on leave as the girls gymnastics coach at Park of Cottage Grove, Terry Hardy, 37, of Hastings, has been fired as coordinator of gymnastics for the South Washington County School District’s community education program. He is not a teacher in the district.… Rasmussen, who is not a gymnast, showed KMSP-TV, Channel 9, her tattoos and told the station that Hardy tattooed a cross on the back of her neck, the word "strength" on her wrist and her favorite song lyrics across one shoulder. She also told the station that Hardy pierced her tongue, but she removed the stud.' So it was kind of a religious thing …?"

Sunday December 8, 2013. A telepath is investigating the mind of someone with very strong synesthesia (synaesthesia.) From John Brunner, The Whole Man:
"...Howson found himself on the top of a dizzying slide, lost his grip, and went headlong, skidding and slipping into a vast uncharted jungle of interlocked sensory experiences.
"...Howson had experience of minds with limited audio-vision -- those of people to whom musical sounds called up associated colors or pictures -- but compared to what went on in Rudi's mind that was puerile.
"...Images presented themselves: a voice/velvet/a kitten's claws scratching/purple/ripe fruit -- a ship's siren/fog/steel/yellowish-gray/cold/insecurity/sense of loss and emptiness -- a common chord of C major struck on a piano/childhood/wood/black and white overlaid with bright gold/hate/something burning/tightness about the forehead/shame/stiffness in the wrists/liquidity/roundness..."
Rudi Allef has been unable to convey his artistic visions to an audience, frustrating him to the point of trying to kill himself. Later on, with the help of Gerry Howson, another telepath, and another artist, he becomes able to do so.
My synesthesia is nowhere near this strong. However, I do want to communicate aspects of it to an audience. And so far I haven't been able to.
I'm not remotely frustrated enough to consider suicide; a good thing, since I don't know any helpful telepaths.
My preferred medium is printed words (or the electronic equivalent.)

What color is an orgasm?
People with a condition known as synesthesia are prone to swapping their senses. They can feel colors, see music, and smell words. This raises an important question for science: What's it like to have sex when you've got synesthesia? Thanks to some inquisitive researchers, we have the answer.
