Do we know why "deep" colors like in gems and gold are attractive?
I was thinking maybe it's something to do with water, good, clean water being transparent or translucent
>>
Because we decided they are.

In a world where grey is a rare colour and only expensive materials have it, it would count as an attractive/beautiful colour.

Grey is not rare you idiot. What are fucking rocks, what is granite, what colour are almost all pyrolitic compounds (stuff left over after burning). You're statement is dumb

No one knows for sure, but your guess seems as valuable as anyone elses.

It's probably a combination of our brain loving the fuck out of clean geometry and easily categorizable shapes and the value we put into clear water because the alternative makes us sick.

Also clear eyes are a sign of good health

Is there like a specific method you used to become this stupid? Fucking remarkable.

I don't think you interpreted his statement correctly. If you haven't figured it out already, he was giving an example by saying that IF grey were rare in nature it would also be adored like gold. Just wanting to confirm that you have already deducted this and have apoligized for your misunderstanding.

the light waveforms emitted or reflected by this materials are less random then the ones you'd see normally in nature, I think molecular symmetry plays a big role in our perception of beauty and also in causing the shine.

also many people think that the rarer something is the more value it has.

value = rarity * purpose
>>
Normal eyesight relates to brain chemistry. when we start talking things which evoke potential power of emotion that involves a lot more than just a simple circuit of electrochemical activity like the ocular region. It probably comes to cross region activity. Synesthesia. Or structures in the brain themselves and their relation to something like the psychoactive universe.

You dont have to touch something to value it

Hi, Peter Wiggan... or should I say Rothschild?


Nice mind control constellation you have there...

It would be a shame if someone interrupted your attempt to turn the human population into wetware CPU's

God fucking daaaamn. I've been struggling with the idea that humans were used as batteries in the movie since that would be thermodynamically impossible and also since there exists shit like nuclear energy. I wonder what else they dumbed down
