The reading for most of this stuff is ridiculously dense, as well as being more reference. You sound like a perfect candidate to dig into Colour. There are a great many extremely knowledgeable people around that project that can help. Mark

RGB, much like CMYK, are merely colour encoding models. In the case of RGB, it represents three lights at arbitrary intensities. In the case of CMYK, it more commonly references a series of four inks subject to some arbitrary density scalin

I don't. I am willing to wager giving right wing nut bars a platform and place to "debate" their opinions on minorities and women is a great place to start trimming weeds, however.

The "free market" isn't some sort of benevolent cognitive entity. Your "free market" can collapse into batshit loopy eugenics as it can a wonderful academic discourse. Cultures require grooming like any garden.

Language influencing thought (modernized Sapir Whorf) forms a base foundation against innate facets / late Humanist thinking. The field of perception and "optical illusion" is another such foundation. See Carpentered World

But recall that Noam Chomsky himself, a titan of left thought, rejected postmodernism for his entire life, and debated Michel Foucault in 1967, dismissing the blank slate and Foucault’s naïve argument that there was no defined human nature

Good luck with that. The issue here is that it reaches right back to the core ideas around epistemology, and those, whether we are culturally mature enough to accept it or not, get murky. > Maybe it's not possible. Well said.

Exactly, and the statistic of 50% doesn't portray the actual reality. The better fact is to cite that a monkey is as accurate as a polygraph machine. Remember that 50% numerical accuracy is _because it cannot be any lower_. If it could

Not designed by sociologists. More rubbish out of the polygraph playbook. AI is the modern Mechanical Turk when applied to the complex nonlinearities of human behavior.
