    Clearly you've never been to Vancouver Island or you just smoked a whole lot of BC Bud while you were there. There is no bridge and even if there was, an ~26km crossing is nothing like the 1k or less bridges connecting manhattan.

    Really? You guys don't seem to have yellow/orange/red alerts every single day anymore. You might be more oppressed (if you cross their path) but you certainly don't seem like your government is terrorizing you all the time anymore.

    Maybe you're just a republican?

    That's too funny. Are you a USian? Because why else can't you see that the USA is an ideology based state.

    Science is not the pursuit of truth, science is the pursuit of practical descriptions.

  8. Oh for goodness sakes on Reverse Engineering the Technical and Artistic Genius of Painter Jan Vermeer · · Score: 1
    The end result should prove that Vermeer didn't use something like this. This persons end result looks like a flat 2d photograph. Vermeers paintings have depth because they are painted from a person accurately viewing the 3d scene. The reason that non-focus elements are fuzzy is not because he was looking through a lens but because our brain does EXACTLY the same thing if you pay attention. Most people probably don't notice that saccades involve changes in depth as well, because our brain is meant to hide the 'glitches in the matrix'. However, you can seperate depth changes (lens) from x-y movement (occ. muscles). If you do so, you can traverse a scene at a single focal point and if you can 'see' it you can paint it.

    I guess it's probably more obvious to those of us who were or are unable to change depth of focus.

    But we have to believe that people in the past were less inteligent, less talented, less human, or else what's the point?

    No, it doesn't suggest that. There are ordinary people from which statistics are derived and which have no real information about our limits, and then there are people who learn how to use their senses properly or are fortunate enough to have been born that way.

    Read DaVinci's work on light and optics. Once you get a field view, working out a palette is trivial.

    Never read any medical experiments have you? Nor the experiment in question right?

    Just admit it, you're just assuming it's on shaky ground because that's what you read and you have no clue about how 'real' research is done.

    Sigh, you're such an idiot.

    The etymology (notice the correct spelling?) of idiot has nothing to do with your idiotic response. The way to truth is not simply to ask how and why, it's asking the correct question in manner that will get you a correct response.

    Do you not notice the idiocy of you choosing to denigrate someone instead of actually putting in two seconds of effort to understand them. Ever think that something that is missing from your perception of the world isn't going to be easy to see and understand?

    I'll say it again, you're an idiot. Now go look up the etymological roots of the word and you will understand why you're an idiot.

    Wow, you have an interesting way to not answer. I guess that's because you cannot. You have an intuition, and it's more or less inarticulable, so you work around it in circles instead of facing it directly.

    You're an idiot. My 'interesting' way was by telling you in plain english but you're too much of an idiot to understand.

    You're an idiot. You want me to reveal to you the key to reality in a slashdot post? Your inability to accurately assess something for yourself is the reason for your life of darkness.

    Descriptions are descriptions and their 'truthfulness' is dictated by their usefulness. Awareness is a much smaller box than something such as indivisible atoms being divisible. Why is it much smaller? Because even though you don't have much of it, or know how to recognize it, awareness is something you should be intimately familiar with since it has been with you every single step of your existence. You want answers, don't look in books at other peoples descriptions, look within yourself where both the right and left side come together.

    Every advancement in every society has always been through a change in awareness or the reorganization of that awareness.

    assembling strawmen and burning them is always fun and yet pointless.

    It's best not to use descriptions of god that have nothing to do with the 'god' that humans experience and the mental masturbation of ancient myopes that has nothing to do with god in fact.

    Shit, western philosophy is still milenia behind.
