random rant..

i was thinking. people don't really see things anymore. they just assume that they're seeing something. you know? Like with colors.

influence by context.

like at night. a white house could look lavender when you know it's really white. people jump to the conclusion that the house is supposed to be white so it has to look white, even if it's not. people don't stop and say "oh that house is lavender right now even though i know it's really white."

like this whole thing too http://www.kyb.mpg.de/ki/people/wehrhahn/simb_y3-new.jpg

people need to believe what they actually see rather than assumptions and influences like that. it kinda bugs me.

A and B are the same but in context you don't see that because you think its just the shadow. if you were to separate each of the rows and look at them out of context, or even each cube, you would see the variations in colors and that A and B are really the same.
