I just spent an hour trying to figure out exactly what gestalt is. (Ironic, I know) I can't remember my day. I hold no memory of what I've done during the day. I mean, holy crap! Does anybody here know anything about gestalt psychology, and is anyone willing to explain it without using the music analogy yet in simple terms?
You know, music....You don't define music as individual notes, you define it as the sound of the notes put together. Even then, I feel like I'm missing something in the definition.
Oh, my head....I consider myself quite knowledgable in the ways of psychology, but WOW! Now if you'll excuse me, I...need...to...reclaim the past 24 hours of my life by living greatly for the rest of the week. Ah, screw it. I'll just go back to the gestalt thing until it totally blows my mind. Just give all my stuff to Hikara.
