It's an example of the Munker-White illusion, or the Bezold effect, and it's well understood.</p><p>I made this tryptych image back in 2020, to demonstrate what's going on. I do kind of know what I'm talking about here, since I was a TV/Film <a href="https://blacksun.social/tags/colorist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>colorist</span></a> for many years.</p><p>The second panel is the first panel blurred.

(In the first image, your brain perceives it as "yellow-er" than the blue background).</p><p>This is what your brain is doing all the time, as you move through different lighting conditions which is how you can still tell someone is wearing a green shirt, in a room with only red lights, so long as there are other colors in the room to compare it to.</p><p>When I tried to explain relative color perception to this person, the whole thread devolved into one of the dumbest conversations I've ever had about absolute vs. relative truth, statistics sample size, and how we can "never be really sure of anything," including when we measure temperature with a thermometer. </p><p>GAAAHHHHH!</p><p>New Rule: Optical illusions, outside of a *strict scientific context* having to do with understanding <a href="https://blacksun.social/tags/cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cognition</span></a> and the brain's visual system are a Trojan Fucking Horse for <a href="https://blacksun.social/tags/nonsense" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonsense</span></a> </p><p>People, please stop using optical illusions, to push <a href="https://blacksun.social/tags/solipsism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solipsism</span></a> and <a href="https://blacksun.social/tags/relativism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>relativism</span></a></p>
Peter Kahlert<p>Actually, Cartesian solipsism might be true. Or at least I find the pragmatist argument, that even Cartesian meditation must assume more than oneself, like language, awkwardly rationalist. Sure, a Cartesian I has extension, involves capability of thought or experience - and that may be pragmatically included. Sure, language, gods, and demons are not certain by <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/meditation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meditation</span></a>, and I as well am team 'socialuty first, individuality later' However, assuming solipsism was true, the solipsist may doubt reading or telling aboug <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/solipsism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>solipsism</span></a>. We just cannot know, thus our reasoning should be bound to something else but fascination with statements' capacity for transcendation. It should be joy, wealth, being able to like and affirm your existence, not whatever we believe about certainty, <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/doubt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>doubt</span></a>, and the medium we assume to discuss and re/think that in. <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/pragmatism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pragmatism</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/wittgenstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wittgenstein</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/descartes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>descartes</span></a></p>
