What intrigues you the most?

For me it's the proximity value.

We know a few people, and their opinions we tend to value most - sometimes even more than our own. Yet, there are millions out there with infinite variations on any possible opinion, but we choose to exclude them from our own analysis of a situation simply because we do not know them.

Same goes for our self worth, our perception of our state of wealth (or lack of), cleanliness, figure, etc. It's strange, don't you think?

Could you repeat all that ?
I know when I am to close to a car in a parking lot
and that tree limb way up there is heavier that it looks and bigger too
that objects in my mirror may be actually closer than they appear
But people that argue about how far we are from the sun and the moon bother me
but I keep silent
I have a friend that works for NASA ,and he has a retired telescope
Its on a trailer ,onside a neat little dome
And it needs a tracking lazer ,,just so you can keep locked onto a planet
they move so fast ,,and we can't see that with one from wal mart ,,
But to actually see the planet ,,it requires a little more than a wal mart scope
BUT you would be amazed the people who argue with me I am wrong ,so I let them be ignorant ,I can't fix stupid
But theory and perception does play hugely in how we see things
When I show people how quick the mind can be tricked ,,and reality and what you think you see can be two totally different things
Like how the brain fills in things that are not there ,,at all
can add color to a black and white photo
make something look 3d when its only 2d ,like the wolf climbing out of a painting
I love how some try to dismiss my beliefs with logic "Thats infallible "
and they can't even prove what they are seeing is what is really there

I do optical illusions all the time
I make a "Butt Joint " in a wall ,look like its flat
But I just put 3 coats of joint compound and tape on the joint
I know how to read it ,,,and make sure light does not pick it up
So to the naked eye ,,,I made it disappear ,,but a long straight edge ,
I can show you not only is it not gone ,,,its raised up about an inch
But I know what the eye see's ,and how to trick it
and make that wall look perfectly flat ,,when it is not ,and that why I get the big bucks ,like my friend from NASA
I am good at proving things you think you see
is not always reality ,in fact ,,few things are as they seem
Its all in how our brains perceive it ,,,,even when measurements and stats and hypothesis, thesis, conjecture, supposition, speculation, postulation, postulate, proposition, premise, surmise, assumption, presupposition ,, sometimes say otherwise

I know ,,,,that don't make any sense

Sincere, honest and kind people who are aldo noy fragile. Tough ones.

@SW-User thank you for your answer. Why do those people intrigue you? They are more often only tough because of the situation presenting, than because they are inherently, in each situation, tough...

@DreamCoCreators both! Or may be i can relate to them.tough and bold people who stay humble are extremely rare. I must say. thanks :)

That is true. To be both tough and remain truly humble with it is difficult indeed. Thanks for your answers :)
