Re: Straight or curved?
My first impression…..
I expect my brain has a pre programmed template view or pre conceived idea that influences what I see here, because of one of my off beat pass times……
I see the course of dismantled or disused overgrown railway lines on Survey maps or Arial view charts……

I seriously don’t ever try to annoy. Maybe I am just the kid that missed being told about the King’s new magic suit, :(

That is peculiar to the point of disturbing!

Yet more evidence that we humans have no idea what the world really looks like because our brain simply constructs something from the vast array of visual data that pores in to it through our eyes and along the optic nerve.

Re: Straight or curved?
Interesting thoughts… I have always thought the worst handicap that I can imagine would be to be suddenly struck blind….
But maybe if I was born blind, I might wonder why people think I am disabled.
I might be happy navigating through the world as I perceive it to be with the senses that I have.
I rarely know exactly what my nearest next door neighbour is doing even when he’s is doing something that makes some sort of mild disturbance that I experience, like a combination of sound, light vibrations or smell. Someone born blind might have a good idea what’s going on and think how horrible it must be to be like me, and “blind” to that.
How far I can see is a bit conceptual maybe like how long is a piece of string.
