If you have about 20 minutes, give today’s video a go.
In this fascinating bit, the host displays and explains 30 optical illusions.
Of course, now my eyes are asking me for a break and a return to reality. But then, is reading fiction reading reality, or is it an illusion? That is a philosophical question better left for smarter people than I am.
There’s no earthly way
I’m smarter than you, Steve-O,
but the gauntlet flung cannot lay,
and I must therefore have a go.

Are novels reality,
or are they just illusion,
or do both sides have parity
to make it more confusin’?
When we go through the Pearly Gates
will Gandalf greet us, or Tolkien,
or are they both God-given states,
with more yet to be seen?
Are our characters our avatars
brought to word-borne life
on pages, then across the stars
to make bright Heaven rife
with our creations standing whole
after God breathed into them a soul?
Ugh! Watching this made my brain crack. I’m going to need weeks of therapy to recover!!
