COMMUNITY REWATCH, 1x20: “The Science of Illusion”

-Leonard, what the hell are you doing? How did the Dean let him get away with that?

-Troy: "Yeah, that doesn't really describe it. You're more of a fun vampire because you don't suck blood, you just suck." Damn Troy!

-What kind of cult is this that Pierce would genuinely believe that was a robe from his church?

-I love how Shirley and Annie are basically competing to see who's more of a badass.

-Oh Britta, that's not a very good practical joke.

-HOW CAN HE NOT TELL THEY'RE MAKING FUN OF HIM?!?!

-Britta, how did you not think to bring something to transport the frog in?

-Why is there an actual dead body at Greendale?

-They did not just have Britta step on that frog?!

-Shirley and Annie are so ridiculous.

-Abed just following Annie and Shirley around because his cables out is amazing.

-I can't believe we're actually getting a chase scene. This is so ridiculous!!

-Annie blinding herself by running into the pepper spray is so good.

-I love how the Dean just repeats everything Abed says.

-Pierce "reading" Jeff's mind is so fucking funny.

-*annie slams jeff's head against the table twice* Jeff: "What the hell, Annie?"

-Everyone having an emotional meltdown is so good.

-Pierce: "Troy, do you want a bite of my wand?" Troy: "I do." What?

-"Troy and Abed in the Morning!" I love them so freaking much.

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

Hello, I was wondering what criteria you personally use to decide if something is a species or a subspecies?

I quite like Kevin de Queiroz's recent take on the matter, so I will refer you to him. There has been quite a bit of subsequent discussion, some of which I agree with, some of which I think is a bit moronic.

TL;DR: They should be treated as a difference of degree, not of kind, and can conveniently be used to capture the grey zone that we know characterises the incipient stages of speciation.

Much as staring at inverted colors will leave an after-effect of color on a blank space, our audio senses will do the same. For instance, if you listen to "How You Remind Me" by Nickelback for five hours on a loop and then stop in a quiet room, you will hear the true voice of God.

If we did not know better what this is, it would be quite possible to imagine that something was out there watching us. The appearance gave me the instant thought that it looked like an eye in the deep sky of our universe. I want to know if anyone saw anything else at first look. Did you see anything different at first glance, If yes, please tell me what you saw, and I will be fascinated to hear of anything different.

so if light reflects/absorbs on objects to create color, then there is no color, and no color is black, but black is a color, and if theres no color what color would no color be, it cant be a void either because shapes… i want out

These illusions might involve shapes, patterns, or images that appear to change or shift depending on how the viewer perceives them, often tricking the brain in a linked or "chained" manner.
