I’m sure during, although I’ve tried to extinguish that trait through the years. Grad school was in many ways like a shark tank, fed by the Dept.

You weren't. You came across as attempting to counter the narrative that everything is relative, and that nothing has meaning, and that there is no such thing as a fact. Cheers, Graeme Gill.

Whoa whoa whoa... if broadcast and print media have taught us anything it's that all facts are subjective, opinion is just as valid as experimentation, and there is no objective reality. Are you trying to blow my mind, or what? /endSarcasm

Or to put it less obliquely... thanks Rich, interesting article and valid comments. Scientific method for the win.
OK, so I tuned in to the postmodern colorsync list by mistake.

Neigh-whinny! Of all people I’m not one who would be touting relativism or anti-absolutism. The narrative changed several times, each time it was challenged. Relativism seems to be a problem, one I was pointing out. “Watever is is” - not me. Henry Davis

I suspect that most great painters paint for one. If others happen to get it, all the better. You’re not alone. The PhDs in my circle seem to share the same, um, affliction. By comparison you must have a light case of it. Henry Davis

I didnt know there was a tetrachromat artist, it would be interesting to know what another tetrachromat thinks of her -original- work. I wonder how much tetrachromacy or traces thereof is really present in the population. On a different topic, I know my son can see stuff I dont at dusk, he describes it as “glow”, I think it may be IR. but i wonder which channel is registering it?
