>> what's a phonebook?
<< well, you see- back in the day, if you wanted someone's phone number and they didnt give it to you- you could just look it up in a book that had everyone's phone numbers. You could even call businesses and hotlines by searching these big books that were thick enough to be used as booster seats for toddlers.

>> .... that sounds like a lot of numbers
<< well there is a lot of people
>> but everyone has a phone now
<< everyone had a phone, pager or fax machine back then.
>> ...uhh...
<< what?
>> what's that?
<< what's what?

same. either way they should warn about this- otherwise its bad customer service.

“While Light, Life, and Love are part of all that we naturally see and experience, they are veiled or hidden by our attention to the material and the mundane. The mystical student’s intention is to remove, one by one, these veils so that, to some degree, a greater realization will appear. For although Light, Life, and Love are obscured, in removing the veil, a realization dawns that Love, for example, gives birth to all that is good and renders purpose to that which is named “Beauty.” Love is boundless and eternal, and it assures continuity in the expression of all experiences.” Dr. Lonnie Edwards

I hate how I kept reading that as fourchan... I'd slap myself but that'd make me lose additional braincells in the process.

@michelestrider

Although true, it's not nearly as bad as the willful ignorance that literally causes masked murder-suicide that goes unnoticed due to lack of matured perspectives by a society still clinging to gradeschool playground behavior.

Set aside the Barbie-plastic-body oddity of microplastics, people are genuinely believing the world is perfect so long as they themselves are not affected by any passive negative connotations.

I think the best way to understand how most people might be able to understand a new sensory type or added sensory depth, is by watching videos or people who can see or hear for the first time in their lives. Medical advancements have made mankind slowly approach the precipice of overcoming natural limitations as a species.

@skyblond

you dont know what you dont know- until someone tells you about it. then you know what you didnt know- but will still never know what you dont know- only that that you previously did not.

its possible there are colors that most people cannot see and are not aware of.
