When I look at democrat political rallies I see lots of crazy people.

Explains the excuse: "I thought he was a deer.

Yet your peripheral vision can detect dimmer stars than your direct vision. Look directly at Orion, or the Pleiades, then look at something nearby—you’ll see stars that ‘weren’t there’ when you looked directly at them. You can make them disappear by looking at them.

I read a study a while back where they had people wear special glasses that could track the movements of their eyes precisely, and they found that when two people encounter each other, both eyes of each person simultaneously scan one eye of the other person (I think they said the right eye)

It happens so quickly that we don’t know we do it, and it isn’t noticeable, but the instruments picked it up. You focus for a brief second on one single eye of the other person.

They ended up testing a bunch of other animals of all sizes and types (even including chimpanzees) and they only found one other creature they tested that does that exact same thing: You guessed it...dogs. When a dog sees a human face, they focus on the right eye for a split second just like we do.

Additionally, they found that dogs are cued into humans in ways no other animal is. They did an experiment where they would put a treat under an upturned bucket, and have a little shell game with two identical, empty upturned buckets.

A human would gesture towards the bucket with the treat, and try to get the animal to go to it and get the invisible treat by overturning the bucket. They tried it with chimps, birds, cats, etc.

None of them would take the cue of the human pointing to the bucket with the treat under it. Except for dogs.

They took a little puppy, and the puppy picked it up immediately when the person pointed at it, literally on the first try.

Further, the person didn’t even have to point, they could simply look. More remarkable, they didn’t even have to linger with the look. They could just flash their eyes for a split second at the bucket with the treat, and the puppy would go unerringly to it.

Dogs have lived around humans so long that they are tuned into us, emotionally and physically. So they are a little bit different than other animals in this respect.

I have a theory about vision

in the human male brain

the exact image of the object

that is being searched for

perfectly overlays the image

received through the optic nerve

so that the two images cancel each other out.

I call this phenomena male pattern blindness.

Our eyes are just light detectors.
Our brains interpret the light detected by our retinas.
Our eyes don’t “see things”, but our brains do.

Sounds like a line out of a Carlos Castaneda tale. You can look at something but do you see?

When I was younger I used my one eyed sensor to do most of my thinking.
