  • Your screen on your phone is RGB. Red Green Blue pixels. There is no yellow light ever being sent to your eyes. So if you were to look at a yellow square on your phone the pixels are RGB in a mix convincing your brain it is yellow.

    So when you get a blue dress with warm yellow light, the pixels on your phone tries to convey that bit of yellow

    Different devices will show it more or less.

    If you printed out the picture there would be no illusion.


  • Computers cannot be random, true.

    Humans cannot be “random”, true.

    Things outside of Human and Computers control, “random” to us. E.g. Lava Lamps.

    We have ways of “randomly” selecting people, and we also have ways of not throwing non-eligible people in the hat. A couple of non-eligible people in 10,000 isn’t going to matter if at least 5001 people are eligible and competent.

    Now are humans capable of letting this happen “randomly” is another story











  • Yeah I’m the same way. Always wondered how people were able to give such detailed information to police sketch artists.

    Like I could work with one but at best it would be them drawing something close and me going “ehh this part and this part isn’t right” if I got a really good look at the person.

    Do you get earworms?

    I feel in a way I’d have to practice their voice in my head like I was trying to impersonate them vocally, just my mind could make any sound. But I myself couldn’t talk in a New York accent because I don’t understand what all to change and when. If I heard a New Yorker say a sentence I could repeat it back in my head the same way



  • What kind of sound hallucinations?

    Like people or yourself talking to you?

    Does it sound like you’re hearing it from your ears?

    People can project their mind’s eye image into reality. It’s most likely schizophrenic people can’t control it and would project things they didn’t know they were doing. We know it’s not there and it’s definitely in their mind but they don’t realize that they are conjuring it.

    Same with internal monologe.

    You have inner speech? I can talk to myself. But someone with an internal monologue they are not talking to themselves like me. Their brain is talking to them, they do not consciously pick each word.
