gabrielradio: 'Cynics (...) who are especially good at seeing through bullshit pay dearly for their gift. I suspect that being able to see past nuance comes at a cost. The ability to rapidly reduce complicated moral questions into simple either/or propositions is probably a function of an absence. To wit: the moral clarity of most cynics is probably a function of some sort of emotional colorblindness.'
gabrielradio: 'the colorblind can see through many kinds of camouflage. Because theyre not distracted by colors, they can often see the contours of a thingits outlinewith unusual clarity. Even so, despite this upside, being colorblind is, on balance, a net handicap to the colorblind individual. Theyre missing out on a great deal.'
