Diary of an ASD Squirrel. Day 205 , Monday 20/05/2024
Was up till the early hours of this morning with stomach cramps after last nights daring attempt to eat scrambled eggs & beans for tea.
Spent the day getting lots of exercise up & down the stairs to take a pew, if you get my drift.
Attempted to interact on here a couple of times but my brain is apparently on sick leave so it didn’t go exactly to plan 🙄🤦♂️
Hopefully tomorrow will be better !
Final Thoughts.
Is the babel fish truly a fish if it spends most of its life out of water ?
This & other great questions of our age will have to wait until I can think straight!
Thank you to all those who are helping me on this journey, in a myriad different ways. I am thankful to each & every one of you! 🫂 🫶🐿️🖖
@Tim_McTuffty
Hope you'll have a better night now. 🤗
Having a bug is no fun... 😔
Hey ho, let's hope tomorrow will bring some improvements 🌸
Have a good night sweets 😘
Sorry wasn’t ignoring you, just behind on catching up !
Interesting questions !
I imagine that as far as colour goes it was a predator / pry thing . As with so many other adaptations (hearing for instance) those that can recognise either prey or predator quicker get to survive to procreate.
Deep sea animals use color (red particularly) a lot for just this reason.
BTW Mantis Shrimp have the greatest range of wavelength recognition of any animal (I believe) , no-one quite knows why it needs to be so extensive !
For me (& any number of experts will beat me to death with a kipper for saying this I suspect) the brain doesn’t process light, anymore than it processes sound, or taste - the organs convert the signals into a brain compatible signal & the brain processes that . I do know that it’s an RGB signal mixed with light n dark (rods n cones in the eye).
As to how it processes the received signal , that is a whole other kettle of fish !
Oh I love easy questions like what is consciousness 😆
I could wax lyrical on this , but it’s an area of interest so I’ll get hyper focused & we’ll be here till Xmas !
