5 small observations enrich your view of things.

1: If you put your finger in front of your cell- phone camera, the image will become red. Now why do you think this is? It is the natural day light passing through your finger, picking up the color of your blood. To see this phenomenon more clearly, just shine a torch through your hand in the dark. Notice how you don't see the bone, even though you know it's there? My guess is that the light fractions and bounces around quite a lot in your finger before it comes through. But how then, you ask, is it that when I close my eyelids during the day, everything becomes black and not red? Well: Try again now and try to notice: What color is it really?

2: Sea- gulls are in many respects quite powerful; at least compared to some of our saints and gods. Jesus might have been known for his ability to stand on the water (an attribute also given to witches), but sea- gulls can sit leisurely on the sea for ages. Moreover while our lord had to wait until after his re- animation to rocket to the skies, our common seagull flies on a daily basis. So there you have it; sit on the water, and fly. Quite powerful beings.

3: As "we all know" passwords are a hassle. And it seems that nearly all security must choose between being insecure, or a pain in the ass. This makes mass adoption of reliable security unlikely. However there is a path of least- resistance here in biometrics, where you could be reliably identified by the shape of your face or irises, or maybe your signature. But then the problem is that this would mean the possibility for widespread surveillance. Think about every small store photographing your face when you make a payment! This kind of use of technology encroaches on our privacy. So in the end it seems we have a trilemma. Insecurity, cumbersome existence or little privacy.

4: Many songs is just one big exercise in avoiding one note or chord. 5th symphony, or chopin's piece. It gets a proper introduction in the beginning, and is then industriously avoided in many clever ways, until it is "landed upon" in the last. Just check for yourself. This chord we are waiting for, is most often the keynote in the key they are playing in. Strange but true.

5: The color read doesn't exist outside our heads. Red is just a small part of the spectrum of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that the sun bombards us with. Everything red about red is produced inside our heads. The same goes for every other color, sound or smell. We are in fact mostly just looking at a big mish mash of things our brains create for us. Is just so happens that this mishmash is highly influenced by the exact nature of nature. So colors are in about the right place that the radiation comes from. The pitch of a sound closely correlates the frequency of the pressure waves, and our smell is differentiated by molecules of particular shapes.
