CHANGE ME OMFG CHANGE ME PLEASE Jergenson, a social media enthusiast, shares his ideas about how people live in constant “digital dualism” (129) a term coined by the author himself, which is “the habit of viewing the online and offline as largely distinct,” (129).However, Jergenson argues that being either “online” or “offline” doesn’t really exist anymore, that people are perpetually connected even if it’s indirectly. The once separate “on” and “off” modes people used to have diminished as social

Daniel Kish, and Cathy Moss, and two unnamed actors. This film is all about unlocking the senses and perceptions, helping the curious understand how the brain works, and making sense of the world around us. To create mind-bending sensory illusions, Hollywood filmmakers use color, light, motion, depth and sound to hack human brain. Just as movies use image and sound to create illusions of reality, our own senses can be forced into thinking we hear or feel things that don’t exist. It’s an episode that

An all too familiar phrase “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” has been blanketed in the minds of society throughout history. However, how much truth lies in that phrase or belief? If one is to examine the nature of this concept, beauty first and foremost needs a specific definition. Beauty is that which brings enjoyment to the person who observes or contemplates. The answer may seem self-evident when examining different cultures around the world. Ethiopian women for example, wear a lower lip

categorize/measure every humans’ viewpoint in one condensed set of capabilities. Nussbaum does an adequate job of making her list of capabilities broad, but a select number of them are not as applicable as others. While Nussbaum’s list of core capabilities is decisively somewhat universally inclusive, I believe Nussbaum’s list of capabilities in its entirety fails to captivate the sense of universalness that Rawls’s “overlapping consensus” encompasses, and believe that it cannot be applied universally

1880s when Francis Galton described a condition where he thinks of numbers in visual imagery, which is known as synesthesia today. Synesthesia is the experience in which a stimulation of one sense triggers an additional sensory experience (Rothen & Mejer, 2010). In other words, it is a condition where the senses are cross-linked, and the experience is automatic and reliable (Rich, Bradshaw, & Mattingley, 2005). A common type of synesthesia is called the grapheme color synesthesia, which is when people

Sixth Sense Technology is a mini-projector coupled with a camera and a cellphone. Sixth Sense can also obey hand gestures.

her brain is to use the body’s senses as a way to send messages to it. Humans have five recognized senses that are responsible for giving our brain vital information. These senses are one’s taste, touch, smell, hearing, and vision. While these senses are highly important to our daily functions, the Senses Challenge has shown me how unaware we are of how complex they really are. In taking the Senses Challenge, I learned many things I did not know about each of my senses. The challenge that perplexed

Throughout the last centuries antirealism has been questioned with what is real and not real through our language, beliefs, thoughts, perception, senses, and overall knowledge of what exist beyond our external world. Realism is obviously the opposite of antirealism that is questioned by many philosophers as to what is real and what is not real amongst our external views in a life or a world of questions. Antirealism philosophers for centuries have expressed their opinions and thoughts against realism

René Descartes main goal in the Meditations is to establish that one exists and that a perfect God exists. However, he first argues that the idea that everything perceived around one could be false because the senses are sometimes deceiving. In the first Meditation, Descartes introduces skepticism and brings forth a method of doubt in which he evaluates his beliefs, and questions whether they are true or false and why they should be doubted. He presents various hypothesis that prove there is reason
