Comment on Why do we humans love music so?

But we don’t love patterns
I would disagree with that somewhat - I think we do love patterns, but the more complex and intricate the better.
Which is why music appeals so much - it’s chock full of patterns overlaying each other, echoing and counterpointing each other, contrasting each other in ways that are both conflicting and harmonious. Good music is like seeing the rhythms of the world all around you.

Yes! When a chorus repeats and becomes familiar, or when a sequence resolves and the pattern is “recognized”. Satisfying to the core.
