Maybe even too much. I’m surrendering! ’Cause I’m gonna start my OWN religion, and get in on the good stuff: tax exemptions, and lots of taxpayer money to do what I want… most definitely! Hey Newt -wanna join? We’re gonna have open marriages and multiple wives and all SORTS of neat stuff that you’re just gonna love! But NO nasty stoning of adulterers. Promise! As for Santorum- he’d make a fine preacher…in fact, we’ll make him Saint Santorum. And fix his google search. As for Mr. Obama,  obviously, we’ll need to demonize him even further. And his dog too. Mitt and Ron, hey, just for you guys: no taxes AT ALL …and human sacrifice of illegal aliens. Televised. Whoooppee! What a country! :-)

Well, you’d know if you’d understood any of it.

Obviously I haven’t managed to pique your interest. I’ll leave you to it then.

Actually I was hoping to gather some material for a non-dualist theory of human perception. Most scientifically-minded people nowadays are effectively dualist and this so-called illusion brings it out very nicely. In their need to satisfy their dualist assumptions they are prepared to set aside all common sense and even basic logic.

Would you consider yourself corrected about B’s status as a white square if your light meter gave you a zero from the site?
