Waves is the right word, because it was like being in a wave pool made of people. Fortunately nothing serious happened, but I have never noped the fuck out of anywhere that fast as soon as we were able to.

The only known effect screens and colors have on health is when blue light is disrupting your circadian rhythm. You have failed to provide any evidence of the harm of bright colors coming from a screen on people’s psychological state beyond “trust me bro it just makes sense.”

Has any study shown that fiber from blended foods acts differently in the gut biome or with blood sugar, etc?

That hasn’t always been the case. Would you call a torii dull? Was the stained glass in medieval churches less colorful than today? Have you seen how vibrant basically all of nature is? You’re conflating everything bad about advertisements with color itself.

My neighborhood (all beiges and whites), most urban neighborhoods, and virtually all suburban neighborhoods are significantly desaturated and colorless compared to ancient Rome.

If you can’t find it at a credible source it’s probably not true.
The other article you linked is to an article in an Indian psychiatry publication that does not have any experimental data or methods in it, and concludes:
Notwithstanding the fallacies which emerge with the advent of the new-age mRNA vaccines, the hope it provides in overcoming a seemingly insurmountable and lethal pandemic largely eclipses most doubts about its credibility. All efforts should be made undertaken to vaccinate maximum number of people at the earliest.

Don’t you think it’s weird that you can’t explain what mRNA is but are so convinced it’s dangerous?

I can’t think of anywhere people step outside their homes and see that, unless they live in Times Square.
People have always made bright colors, both for art and for their clothing and homes. If anything our cities are dull compared to garish taste of the Romans, who slapped color on absolutely everything they could.

There is plenty to be said about misleading advertisements and advertisement saturation into our daily lives, but the bad thing about that isn’t seeing bright colors.

“I do not care what reality is, I simply assume that there is a vast conspiracy of people lying to me about contemporary art” is the kind of anti-intellectual bullshit that drove me off reddit. Thank god there’s not much of it here, present company excluded. You have so much disdain for something your AI “art” literally can’t exist without, and will cease to exist without real artists continuing to make new art for the talentless shit machine to chew up and spit out.
Literally anyone who makes any piece of physical art has done more than AI “artists” figuring out the best way to add and remove noise from a noise generating machine trained on the work of actual artists, lmao.
So you could make millions but it’s just beneath you?
“Expensive abstract paintings are just money laundering” is intellectually lazy and conspiratorial. The entire art world and the IRS aren’t working together to let some people get away with money laundering, but only as long as they use art to do it.
A lot of contemporary art is not for mass consumption the way that high fashion is not for street wear. Everything does not have to have mass appeal, and that doesn’t make it unimportant or simple to do. I guarantee if you go to an art museum’s daily tour they will be able to tell you a lot about how these ‘simple’ paintings were made that shows how they weren’t simple at all, and what movement they are in response to/part of that adds much more significance to them.
If you’re going to nitpick about whether they’re really worth $x million, what makes any painting worth more than the canvas it’s on and the paint that makes it up? History? Mass appeal? Appeal to other artists? Appeal to rich people? Artistic self expression? Effort/length of time to make it? Originality?
So if it’s easy, why haven’t you done it?
Yup! Didn’t expect a bit on whale monitoring tech in a video on Europa
