Aha, this worked for me. Thank you. I legitimately have a disproportionate amount of appreciation for you and the person a couple comments above you who also posted a diagram — although theirs didn’t help me, I am glad that I was able to find people who had attempted to make diagrams (else I would’ve felt compelled to try make one myself, because it’d drive me mad otherwise)
This was a really useful trick, thank you.
It sort of worked for me. As I was turning my phone, I was able to see it in the alternative mode, but as soon as my phone reached the 180 degree position, it was like something clicked into place and I saw the cube in the same way I originally did. The clicking reminded me of when you see textures load in on a video game — it feels really trippy.
You see, it’s not racism if it’s based on real, empirical data a stubborn intuition driven bigotry based on thoroughly debunked science.
I’m reminded of a quote by Max Planck:
"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die”
Or more succinctly paraphrased:
“Science progresses one funeral at a time”
Thank you for James Watson, for this final contribution to science. We are better without your festering bigotry.
Neat! This was so fun to learn about, thank you for sharing. Xiaolin Wu did not live in vain after all, because of nerds like us
I’ve heard climate scientists argue that most estimates they see are bullshit that isn’t grounded in the science and seems to exist purely to properly up the fossil fuel industry
I disagree, on the basis that sometimes when I want to cause my friends (the majority of whom are ex-emo-kids) to start singing that song, the trigger phrase is for me to go “Wake me up” in that somewhat rough way that the male vocalist does it, and then my friends are often compelled to singing Amy Lee’s part. It’s a simple spell, but quite unbreakable
I was going to comment with a wry joke that shared in your frustration, but I felt very tired and sad as soon as I started typing.
Instead, I’ll just say “Solidarity”. I’m proud of you for trying to get better, even though the system is making that very hard. I’m proud of myself too, but I find it’s easier to feel proud of people similar to me than directly feeling proud of myself.
