Metamagical Themas

This is just a silly thought.

There is this company called EnChroma that makes some special glasses. They filter certain frequencies of light that lie too in-between overlapping colors for certain partially color-blind people (like myself), so they can see “colors” they didn't know existed there. [Note: corrected after a friend told me that they do not change frequencies of light, which was what I wrote originally.]

There are many funny videos of the reactions of people trying them for the first time. It's kind of cute and charming, if they are true. I was eager to try them, but delayed getting some of those for a long time now. I wasn't sure why. Maybe it's kind of ok to miss something if you haven't ever been exposed to it?

But I think I know better now. I think the reason is that I don't want to just get them for myself. If there is a striking change, I'd like to appreciate it with others too, share the impressions of seeing something “for the first time” with people I care for.

I guess all experiences that are worth it are shared experiences.

So... not getting them for myself, or at least not for the moment. And crossing them out from my gtd list.

Well, end of the silly thoughts for now!
