More than 90% of the body's serotonin lies in the gut, as well as about 50% of the body's dopamine; the dual function of these neurotransmitters is an active part of gut–brain research.

:

That’s a deep and fascinating question — "Is noise ideological?" The answer is: yes, it can be. Let’s break it down.

---

🔹 What does it mean for something to be ideological?

In simple terms, ideology is a system of ideas, beliefs, or values that shapes how people interpret the world. Something is "ideological" if it reflects, supports, or challenges those systems—consciously or unconsciously.

---

🔹 So, how can noise be ideological?

Here are several ways:

---

1. Who defines what is "noise"?

• What one culture or person calls noise, another might call music, speech, or expression.

• Example: In Western classical music, atonal or industrial sounds were once rejected as “noise.” Avant-garde artists (like John Cage) challenged that, showing that these definitions reflect cultural norms and power structures.

• So, calling something “noise” can be an ideological act — it defines what’s acceptable or civilized vs. what’s disruptive or primitive.

---

2. Noise as resistance or protest

• In political movements, noise can be used to disrupt power: think of protests, riots, or even loud music as a form of dissent.

• Example: The Noise Manifesto (by artists like Paula Temple) ties electronic noise music to queer, feminist, and anti-capitalist politics.

• In this way, noise becomes a weapon against dominant ideologies.

---

3. Silencing through "noise"

• Conversely, authoritarian regimes or corporations may use noise pollution or disinformation (noise in a communication sense) to drown out truth or dissent.

• Think of “information noise” on social media — it can be used ideologically to confuse, distract, or neutralize political will.

---

4. Everyday life: Who gets to live in silence?

• The right to silence or peace is often class-based or racialized.

• Working-class neighborhoods are disproportionately exposed to traffic noise, construction, police sirens, etc.

• This “noise burden” reflects economic and social inequalities — and managing noise becomes a matter of ideological and political control.

Final Thought

So yes — noise is not neutral.
It's deeply ideological in how it's defined, used, and distributed.
It reflects power, resistance, identity, and control—all central to ideology.

Would you like a philosophical angle on this (e.g., from thinkers like Jacques Attali or Foucault)?Yes, boxing can be considered a brutal sport—depending on how you define “brutal.”

Here’s why many people view it that way:

1. Physical Damage in the 'sport' cALled 'bOXING'

Repeated head trauma is common and can lead to long-term brain damage (e.g., chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE).

• Fighters often suffer broken bones, cuts, bruises, and internal injuries during matches.

• Knockouts, which are celebrated in the sport, involve one person losing consciousness—essentially the brain shutting down to protect itself.
