  • Usually just a minute before vision gets blotchy, colors blend together and desaturate, and some things seem to move more around than others. For example looking at a dark painting on a bright wall makes the contents of the painting seem to jump more around than the wall around it. Staring longer makes things start disappearing as if my entire vision is becoming a blind spot.




  • I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato’s republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.

    Safe to say it’s not a system I’d want to live in.
