Just put it in Paint.

And I'm still the only person who sees that line you've drawn as multi-coloured? Maybe I need to start taking drugs again, because these grays are doing my head in. If it was red or purple I might stand a chance.

No, he didn't draw the line multi colored. Shit's insane.

Thank goddess for that, someone else can see it too. Here's a direct smear of the same colour - and yeah, it definitely is the same light gray - from one area to the other. Madness. What does it all mean?

that we see things comparatively?

What I did was selected a block of "A", dragged it to "B", dragged it back to "A", and repeated a couple more times. Illustrates very well. Actually seems to change color as you drag it, but obviously it isn't, so QED.

stop trying to fight it
it's just how our eyes work

Yeah, our biology is full of kludges. Evolution doesn't lead inexorably to perfection, it leads to something that's "good enough" at which point the selection pressure to improve becomes negligible.

Classic example: the blind spot(s). If our eyes had actually been intelligently designed we wouldn't have them, instead we have quite large holes in our vision and our brains hack around this by just MAKING SHIT UP.

An analogy I like: imagine a cell as a house, and that it evolves a door between 2 rooms downstairs. This turns out to be useful, and there is selection pressure to have the same thing upstairs. Logically you'd think it would grow another door, in practice it's about equally likely to evolve a mechanism for moving the door between floors as needed ...

Also, ror trip title thing. I'm truly touched that yuo care.

awesome! thank you for the link

Hmm... so experiential sensation is flawed fundamentally, and we compensate with imagination. That's awesome, actually. That means reality is totally subjective according to empirical science as well as certain philosophy or theology. Can we exploit this I wonder? That's what hypnotists do I guess, but can we exploit it more?

Maybe all y'alls, but mine isn't.

I'm not exactly sure, here's one of death with the artist's sig. Possibly a devianTart?

This one and >>12 are Lydia from Beetlejuice.
