    In this video I show you two arrows that seem to defy logic. No matter which way you turn them they point the same direction. However, if you just stand on the other side of them they change direction. I talk bout whether or not we can trust our senses and relate it to Plato's cave allegory.

      No because I only feel one in-between the two fingers so idk what he's talking about but the reality that we can't see seems so real I don't even know what to do, what if the reality you can't see is where the spirits go after their body passes and our reality is like their reality,they can't see our reality and we can see their reality.

      Dexter Bernard If there were spirits around us, we would see them unless for instance light passed straight through them. But then there is the problem of how they can’t interact with anything. If they were made of atoms, they would bump into stuff. If they do exist, they could possibly be made of some sub-atomic particle that allows light to pass straight through it and can still function

  • @tom_something
    @tom_something 4 года назад +1

    The illusion of color is the most interesting one to me. You've covered that a lot in your videos. The falsehood of black, white, and magenta as "colors" in the electromagnetic sense, as well as the false equivalency of yellow and red+green. The apparent transformation of an emitter to an absorbed just because the amount of ambient light has changed. There is so much more than we can perceive, but we can still perceive a lot! Flying airplanes, performing surgery and gymnastics, turning ore into metal, speaking, identifying spoiled meat, all using the sliver of inputs available to us.
    Our ears and our eyes have interesting limitations. Our ears can respond to thousands of distinct frequencies (the individual frequencies go into our brain, not the whole waveform. So that's very granular. But we have very limited resolution: two ears. It's like having a two-pixel video camera, but with incredible sophisticated sensors attached to each of those two pixels and a really good processing algorithm.
    Meanwhile, our eyes have incredible resolution. Lots of dots. But the information we have about those dots is extremely limited. Brightness, we've got covered in spades. But in terms of color, most of us just have three kinds of sensors, and from that we're meant to determine where across a broad spectrum a specific point of light belongs. Evolution stops giving when something is just good enough.
