Double bass is not remotely the same instrument as bass guitar. If you don't already know how to play it, you're in for a long, steep learning curve.

take the L and walk away.

I'm here having reasoned conversations with thoughtful people. I left the karma farming behind on reddit, and I don't miss it. I can't lose.

The word "see" predates the concepts of neurons, chemicals, and photons by thousands of years. We see objects, not light.

The word "see" predates any concept of rods or cones or photons by thousands of years. It has nothing to do with those things.

That's not what the word "see" means. You're trying to to swap it for another word like "sense." You see objects, not light.

The light that enters your eye carries enormous amounts of information with it. Your eye and a small portion of your brain comprise a highly specific tool for extracting a small subset of that information and processing it. The information you use is only related to the last object the light interacted with, not the light itself (with the small exception being the "brightness" - that has nothing to do with the object).

No one claims to hear the air in their ears rather than the violin that is being played nearby. That's just not what the word "hear" means.

Look around the space you're in and notice that you can't "see" the light, only the things.

Yes, I know its unrelated. I'm just trying to force in the whole octopi problem.

Futurama is so dense with cultural references it gives me vertigo. Truly great show.

A cute(?) song about fungus, from the fungus' perspective.

I want to go to heaven, but only if I can stay here too. I love the real world much more than any fantasy one.
