perception is reality for the one who perceives. the real question is what a person perceives, and does it constitute others Reality
Are the colors that you perceive the same as I do? I mean, obviously the grass is green, but what is green? Green is the color of grass, so what's to say that the color I see when looking at grass is the color you see. If you were looking through my eyes, would the grass be purple to you?

Mainly the idea that Columbus was a "Champion" of Science over Ignorance in attempting to prove the world was round...even though no one thought it was. It was the Size that was the argument...and he WAS wrong.
Ok. Here, he is not this kind of champion of science ...

Completely off-topic but I wanted to say I'm proud of my city. They just announced their new plan in favor of the environment. The plan is to be 100% carbon-neutral by around 2030.
Starting next year no more energy coming from fossil fuels will be available for either citizens and companies. This is possible as already 98% of citizens use 100% renewable energy. Our CO2 emissions have already gone down by 30% between 2005 and 2016. I think it's a good thing but we'll see if they reach their goal. But even if they don't fully meet their objectives, at least there is a real desire to improve the quality of life while reducing environmental impact.

At this point we're not there yet. But the city has a very dense public transportation system. Many people who live in the city actually don't own a car, and I'm one of them. Their first goal though is to make the energy consumption of the city (heating, lighting, etc.) 100% carbon-neutral. Making it so that noone in the city uses fossil fuel for a car or in packaging at the store will be more difficult to implement. They act on what they can control. Gotta start somewhere.

Yea, here in the states many of us live in rural areas with next to no public transportation. I, myself, live 36 miles away from my place of work and Electric cars are very costly.

Yup... same here. If I had to actually report to the office at my job, I would spend all day (literally) commuting just TO work, let alone returning home, since it's over 350 miles away. All I can say is, thank goodness for telecommuting!

I'm in IT, so my biggest worry is that since my job can be done from anywhere in the world, it soon will be.

Over lunch time chat with a friend at work, we have decided to remake The Witches of Eastwick, starring Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Zoe Saldana and Jon Hamm as the Devil. I think we're onto a winner. Thoughts on the casting? Also, here are three t-shirts I designed and am having printed end of the month when I get paid. Replace Margo Robbie with Lady Gaga and Hamm with Tom Hiddleston IMO
