So I was relaxing while leaning back in my chair, a significant distance away from the monitor, and I saw something that should have been “physically” impossible.

I have nearsightedness and I now wear a deliberately weak prescription glasses so that I can practice my eyesight (I’m am a bit lazy about it though, so I end up not really practicing all that much, but that’s the logic behind my deliberately weaker than needed prescription here).

So what I saw was very clear text on a background of fuzzy text, which is extremely strange. I mean, the text should either be fuzzy or clear but not both at once, which makes zero “physical” sense. However I saw very clear text as though overlaid on top of the fuzzy gray stuff that would have been produced by the nearsighted perception of that same text.

From the POV of subjective idealism what I saw isn’t surprising, because what I am looking into isn’t some external object, but a state of my own inner expectation/will. Since when I am looking out I am not literally looking outside myself, but I am merely examining the state of my world-building will, then of course this can be rendered in pretty much arbitrary ways and what I see doesn’t need to abide physical limitations.

All in all this is a relatively minor phenomenon, but it’s kind of curious, so I decided to make a note of it here.
