Optical illusions

Simulation Theory “There’s a one in billions chance we’re in base reality,” claims Elon Musk, product architect of Tesla Inc., founder of SpaceX, and more. In recent years, the simulation-argument has gained serious traction as we further advance technologically, and intellectually. However, not everyone is on board with the “simulation argument”—a term coined by Nick Bostrom (Philosophy Professor at Oxford University) when he published a journal stating: [A]t least one of the following…

10. Is it a beard? Is it a clown's frilly neck poof? We don't really know. But check out the crazily posh, over the top neck fur on this critter. Frilled lizards would be envious. In fact, the so called king of beasts -- the African male lion -- would be envious. All that furry drama, drawn up in a surprisingly conservative black, white and gray color scheme, as if to intentionally set off the topaz eyes as stunningly as possible. Could you be any more subtle, sophisticated and dramatic all at…

concept is recognized as existing and true. Other simple natures such as shapes, can be substituted for “numbers”, if we follow the same line of thought. Again, if I were deceived into believing that the triangle in front of me is a square through optical illusions, but I cannot create the idea of a square when in fact does not exist in reality. Thus, the concept of these variables are ontologically dependent bodies because its product is certain whether or not these objects exist in…

Filippo Brunelleschi is widely known as one of the founding fathers of Renaissance architecture, as well as the first modern engineer. Born in Florence, Italy in 1377 and died in April 14th, 1446, Brunelleschi was the second son to Brunelleschi di Lippo di Tura di Cambio Bacherini a notary and Giuliana di Giovanni Spini. Di Lippo’s family was from Ficarolo on the Po and was of importance and well known, as Di Lippo was also a diplomat. From a very young age Brunelleschi was taught mathematics…

uniqueness lies in the fine details; the blocks of marble were cut into rectangular prism so they would lock together, and the pillars were made tapered with the bottom side bigger than the top. The architects of the Parthenon built it with an optical illusion in mind. Individuals can look at the structure from several angles and still see perfection. The size was made virtually perfect with the width of the building being 1.618 times the height. The ratio of the height to the width, known as…

Descartes reasons for doubting his beliefs in meditations were because he wanted to prove a scientific method, he wanted to prove that true knowledge came from the mind and not in the sense. Descartes spent a lot of time separating the world into two substances using only the mind and body. He says science truth is made up of our body and religious truths deal with the soul and mind. His biggest question was can something be true if it can be doubted? He became a skeptic and started doubting…

The font is easy to read and simple. It is not too much for the eyes, not too complicated. Outside Sources: Gilbert uses outside sources when supporting a claim he makes about the way people think and their happiness. The sources are graphs, optical illusions, experiments, and data. The authors sources make him look more knowledgeable and further supports his claims. Personal response: The book is intriguing, I really like the human mind and who people think. The book explains what the human…

One element that I did not like from the Hamlet performance was the time period the director had chosen to stage it in. I expected the actors to recite the Hamlet play-text in a modernized way since the time period was set in the 1950s; it only made my ability to comprehend the actor’s dialogue more complicated and confused. The second element I did not like from the Hamlet performance was the role change of Laertes from Morgan C. Hall to Rex Glover. I was really looking forward to watching a…

one Mr. Hubbard used, that try to produce truth using empirical ways. How reliable were the studies? It is known to humans that our sense perception is unreliable because our senses trick us into seeing and hearing things that are not real. Optical illusions can show how our eyes are lying to us. I have first-hand experiences about unreliable sense perceptions every single day. Ever since I can remember, I was diagnosed with hearing impairments in both of my ears. What I hear is not the…

Mr. President had a busy and turbulent life. Franklin D. Roosevelt visited his family summer home at Campobello Island where he had contracted poliomyelitis. His mother was much younger compared to his father. The age difference between his parents would probably lend to his promiscuous lifestyle because he seem to have a fetish with many women. Franklin D. Roosevelt had an affair with Lucy Mercer which his wife, Eleanor, knew about. Being that, he promised to stop seeing her but continued to…
