  • Add to that the blind spot right in the middle of each eye that the brain just kind of doesn’t care about. It’s pretty amazing, but it’s also useful for thinking about consciousness and what it isn’t. I.e., the missing info isn’t like a hole in the screen of a movie. Unrepresented info just… isn’t. That can help us get over the misconception of a “mind’s eye” that’s somehow watching the movie of your inputs playing out in your brain (which, logically, was always just a “turtles all the way down” trap/fallacy, anyway).






  • I'm nowhere near an expert, but this seems like a great example of using light. I still see details in the shadows and in the highlights, and yet there's still enough contrast to make me feel the warm sunlight coming through the cold surroundings. The textures in the snow and trees put me in the environment and make me feel the air and hear the gentle quiet sounds of leaves and breezes and distant animals. I don't know if this really is a great photo or whether I'm just fooled by it, but I particularly love this one.
