Only half-works for me......the green dot "wipes" the purple ones away in one rotation, and then on the next one, puts them back in place.....!?

So, like Man, is that real? Which color, Man? Is it moving, or just disppearing?
Far out, Man....then if it is real to you, is it real; or is all reality subjective, Man? Like is this painted shell worth a doobie, or do you need somebody's else's reality, like the government's, to make the exchange.
Why is the government's reality better than yours, or mine? They just decide on a number, man. They took back all the certificates, look...those are only Federal Reserve NOTES, man... like an IOU. The certificates used to say they had the gold or silver and the currency was like, a title, man.
Ok...groovy.
SOME reality is subjective, right...
Which?
(buncha clinical psychologists got volunteers and put special-lensed glasses on them, 24/7, which inverted the view they saw. Had them stay on for two weeks. By the end of the two weeks, the volunteers saw the world just as regular folks saw it--their brains had rejected the inverted world, and compensated, turning (in effect) the world up-side down, so that the logic they knew would work.
THEN, the psychologists took the glasses off. The volunteers once again saw the world up-side down, until their brains re-compensated.
In Fact, the lensing properties of a human's eye directs stimuli inverted on the back of the eye, then the nerve endings send the data to the Central Processing Unit, which puts the images in your mind with the ground on the bottom and the sky on top.)
Far out.
