#Subjectivism:
The truth does not exist
All subjective perceptions of a chain of events are equally true
#Relativism:
It is impossible to compare different cultures beliefs about reality in terms of "correctness"

Discourses of Climate Delay are the mother of all #classwarfarefromabove strategies to justify, excuse & preserve political privileges & economic inequality, unsustainable in a free and democratic society.
It targets demobilization of voters and the weakening of the #participation in public discourse and democratic process by #relativism.
The simple truth. It's all garbage, only designed to stop you from action against privileges, inequality and abuse of resources.

> a secularized #theology, with no room for the #supernatural.
> The continued active presence & work of the #holyspirit is ignored or outright denied.
> a rejection of the Bible’s ethical norms, especially around #sexualethics, which have been abandoned in favor of an Cross-less subjectivist #morality.
> the abandonment of #mission & #evangelism & an concurrent #religious #relativism .

Gaddammit, it happened again.
Someone posted this damn #optical #illusion ("The circle has no yellow in it, yo?")
The first image has been circulating for awhile. It's an example of the Munker-White's illusion, or the Bezold effect, and it's well understood.
I made this tryptych image back in 2020, to demonstrate what's going on. I do kind of know what I'm talking about here, since I was a TV/Film #colorist for many years.
The second panel is the first panel blurred. You can clearly see that the "yellow" circle is grey.
But, the third panel demonstrates that when you remove the color cast from the entire image, the circle becomes yellow. (In the first image, your brain perceives it as "yellow-er" than the blue background).
This is what your brain is doing all the time, as you move through different lighting conditions which is how you can still tell someone is wearing a green shirt, in a room with only red lights, so long as there are other colors in the room to compare it to.
When I tried to explain relative color perception to this person, the whole thread devolved into one of the dumbest conversations I've ever had about absolute vs. relative truth, statistics sample size, and how we can "never be really sure of anything," including when we measure temperature with a thermometer.
GAAAHHHHH!
New Rule: Optical illusions, outside of a *strict scientific context* having to do with understanding #cognition and the brain's visual system are a Trojan Fucking Horse for #nonsense
People, please stop using optical illusions, to push #solipsism and #relativism
