His accent is very strange
Млять, меня одного вштырело или все-таки в названии написано сцука по-русски "Болото"? Если это не иллюминация, то что это? Ролик шалоболик с названием на русском, но без русского звукового ряда, а субтры опшин тютюб? Реально флойдовский зеволл…
My brain could only see the direction he was actually spinning the diamond. It didn’t make sense the other way and I couldn’t picture it. Not even for a second
How can i get my musician the living legend himself Tiny Giany aka Jeff Steinberg on one of these stages. Anyones help be appreciated.
6:22 i saw left side of desert red and right side desert green ?
Anyone else
ya. button the shirt.
I wonder if this guy was aware that his pajamas were unbuttoned.
The looks made me feel that he is single!!! 🤣😝😝😝 No offence
We don’t see we believe
His voice is so creepy. Sounds like hopkins' portrayal of hannibal lectre.
Hello Clarice….
F
I had to watch this for sociology. I'm supposed to summarize it, so I guess I'll do that now lmao.
something id known for a while: the light that enters our eyes, travels back along our optic cords, reaches our brains areas, arrives at the areas of translation, LETS us know we see something, plus–the time taken for us to both realize and recognize WHAT we're seeing—all that takes time…we dont see life NOW…we see things just a bit in the pAST…WE, THE HUMAN RACE, IS BLIND.we dont see things as they are NOW…always and only a bit in the past.
In the first experiment 0:37 the greens and greys looks noticeably different. The oranges look the same
16:05 whats his point? I still see 25 purples and 25 yellows clearly…despite the yellow and purple glows
Lol i would've been as good as dead with the jungle photo. Even after he put the color i still didnt see what it was
Taking coffee in between
This guy is awesome! Genius
受験勉強そっちのけで見ちゃうヤバイヤバイ
Are ye gay
Evolution is the dumbest religious cult in the history of the world
Now you see me….now you…the brain in all it's marvel, is still able to learn and also be fooled at the same time.
is it bad if during the desert one, the desert on the left was red and the desert on the right was green? isnt it supposed to be the other way around?
maybe english isn't his first language….and the way he words everything is misleading. this would explain a lot of these weird misunderstandings lol
His shirt is killing me 😂
Om colorblind… I'm like… " uhh… same….same….same…"
bi alt yazı koymak bu kadarmı zordu
why do things half assed? go ahead and unbutton your shirt down to your navel
See you think his shirt is unbuttoned, in actuality, his fly is down.
That 6 yr old is me from the future, i think
САААААМБАДИ ВОНТС ТОЛД МИИИИИИ….
I wonder what the ticket price was? He talked a lot but said nothing but parlor tricks. “Step right up, look at this hand, put the cash in the other.”
•°▪●3:11" [..]that the same image can have an infinite number of possible (real world¿?) sources".
Took me some time to figure out what he said. Is this the litteral version of "a slip of the tongue"?. ¤
Fun observations to say the least. However, to observe that our brains rely on context to interpret visual input is very different from the conclusion that "we are defined by our ecology." That's too big of a leap. Is this just a predisposition towards metaphysical "relativism?" If one allows themselves to be defined by their environment (and others in their environment), they are yielding far too much control.
Do your shirt up mate.
I know it will be covered but WHAT'S UP WITH YOUR DAMN SHIRT? THAT'S what the eye is drawn to. Illusion? Self image? Ego? Waste of time? Ding Ding Ding!!!
retinal cells work on chemicals, when we see different colors and look at a different picture, it takes time to get the chemicals giving signals from the retina to the optic nerve to get neutralize and process new information to pass it to optic nerve, essentially we are superimposing photos like in camera over exposure is used to create fancy effects on images
Soooo when’s he going to finish taking off his shirt. Jeez. Sometimes inspired people need someone to remind them how to do basic things lol
my brain flipped the red and green when I looked back at the photos.I saw red on the left not right.
So a 10 year old video just show up in my feed
Am I the only one who wasn't effected by the desert picture?
Pro tip: Our brains didnt evolve, they were designed. If you prove evolution, you will be the most famous and every one will know your name and it will no longer be called a theory. Absent those things, evolution is still not proven in any way, shape or form and no evidence exists other than wishful thinking and fairy tales.
