about color
Journal Entry: Thu Mar 27, 2008, 3:08 PM
well some people like to say 'we live in a three dimensional world' or three dimensional plus time... whatever. some people say visual art is two dimensional.
but what about color?
color is another whole three dimensions that is present at every point...
so really a two dimensional item of visual art is five dimensional
a three dimensional world (four if you count time) is really six dimensional (or seven)
also some human retinas have receptors for a fourth basic color, percentage of people with this and whether it's a real phenomenon or not vary (google for tetrachromat).
of course you could extend this same sort of reasoning to say all sorts of other properties at a point are really other dimensions too. what's the taste of a particular point? what's it's smell? feel? odor? etc...
yeah you can argue this is all nonsense because all of these things depend on blah blah properties of things in three dimensional space, but... forget it because all those properties are only explainable really by delving into interactions at the quantum level, and there all sorts of other dimensions come up with all sorts of wacky names and indescribable properties.
i think the whole idea of any sort of space is just a convenience anyway. we find it comfortable to have a stable idea of what our space is around us and find it disturbing to perceive that it's actually fluctuating in directions and dimensionality all the time right in front of our eyes. well i think most people just learn to filter it out. i know i have. but sometimes, like when i'm really tired or really intoxicated, or just waking up or whatever borderline state of consciousness, i see the world differently from how it looks most of the time while i'm "wide awake" and functioning normally.
and, i kind of like what i see.
i'm intrigued, i want to know more.
well when i find it out i'll let you know.

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.

They ask if I feel remorse, and I answer, "why of course, there's so much more I could have done, if they let me"
