Is willfully Listening to music ultimately meant for dumb people? I know Von Neumann played March music on his gramophone, but "which distracted those in neighboring offices, including Albert Einstein". Neumann "being a notoriously bad driver", seems to be naturally inattentive enough to use music as some form of stimulant for his brain. "As a 6 year old, he could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head" so music doesn't interfere with his thought as much, that is, he can get the pleasure(dopamine, serotonin, epinephrine hit) without sacrificing a big percentage of his mental computer power. However, through medication that increases these cathecolamines, specially dopamine, like Paul Erdo's amphetamines and ritalin, Neumann would be able to study in a silent environment saving most of his brain power for the goal in front of him.

I hate to reply to a thread as pretentious as this, but I stopped listening to music because I hate getting music stuck in my head since it occupies my thoughts with useless ones.

I have to listen to noisy music and pace to focus without amphetamine which I have been taking since I was a child. I was also a very gifted kiddo.
It feels like the sensory overload gives me order parameters for focus. music and walking around puts me in a cage, that way my attention doesn't have any empty space to saunter off to.
I wonder if this is why kids with ADHD fidget.
