    I am fully aware that I am about to clang some cymbals, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.

      I’m fully aware of what I can do to stop it.

      But then other people wouldn’t get to gear the wonderful clanging sound!

      And they need to know!

      So stop it I shan’t.

        I do possess the ability to shut the fuck up, just usually not the willpower to follow through with it.

      We’re cymbal folk. The few not the many.

      I’ve got a whole repitoire.

      Did you know that the Cubic represention of color that computers use is inherently flawed?

      Did you know that cucumbers are melons and that all fruits are vegetables, just like root, tubers, and leaves?

      Did you know that a lot of things we take advantage of in our conscious experience can vary wildly like a lack of different types of bonding modes, the ability to and qualia of distinguishing senses, and the little tools like facial recognition and speech synthesis can malfunction?

        Cubic color? What do you mean? I’ve always seen color spaces represented as triangles filling the curve.

        Botanical vs culinary

        It may be inherently flawed, but we can’t just arbitrarily emit wavelengths of light with current technology. Realistically I doubt we ever could, we would need to alter the emission energies of materials on the fly, which would be akin to actual magic. It is frankly amazing it works as well as it does notwithstanding.

          I don’t think that’s what they mean. Because our cones send a signal for only 3 colors of light with overlap. We detect 3 and our brain interpolates the rest.
