It’s also the speed of news now. When you had a edition a day in print there was time to do research.

Now with instant publishing on the web it’s more important to get the basic story out fast. With the hope it’s the one that sites like reddit pickup.

So white light is when your brain sees a roughly matched signal level on all three color channels. So white would be all of whatever color receptors we evolved for the planet. It’s more of a signal overload than a color.

We actually can’t tell the difference between the mix of primary colors and the actual color. Take Cyan at about 490nm. Looking at it triggers your red, blue, and green receptors in a spefic set of levels your brain reads as Cyan.

However your brain can’t tell the difference between a signal at 490nm and the right combination of 440, 540, and 580 nm. So for example a tv can only show 3 colors but your eyes and brain can’t tell the difference between that and all the natural colors.

We are the most sensitive to green because it’s the wavelength least used by photosynthesis and most plants reflect it. So we evolved to be extra sensitive to it. Camera sensors are usually 50% green, 25% red, 25% blue.

A small number of women have a mutation allowing them to see yellow. So some women can tell the side difference between true yellow and a primary color mix.

More people need a transplant than there are donors. A lot of people die waiting for an organ. Some people are willing to skip the wait list and get their organ from non willing donors.

My IQ was tested several times back in school and I usually clocked in at 148 or 149. That said I don’t think IQ tests are very useful. They also test for very spefic types of thinking. Those traits that people considered smart have. It’s kind of circular.

I think it’s like a physical fitness test that just measures bicep thickness. It tells you something but not as much as it claims.

I’m very good a understanding systems and understanding how changes effect them. I also pick up concepts very easy but struggle with remembering the details.

Presumably that’s because I learned it quickly and didn’t have the repetition to cement the details. Because I know the concept I’m board trying to memorize the details.

I know what J K reproduction types are but don’t remember which is which. Same with baryonic particles I can’t remember if they are half integer spin or not and or if they obey the Pauli exclusion principle. But I understand what those concepts are.

I’m ok with people and general social interaction but I don’t read people well and stick to the social rules for a situation. I’ve totally misread interactions more than most people but usually keep it civil.

I do a lot of cooking and am very good at getting the effect I want. I know what protiens and starches do at various temps and how to calculate the right amounts of salt, acid, and sugar. I’m not good at winging it or being creative with flavors.
