Fuck conventional reality, FTL communications, Bulletproof people, thought reconstructors. Science!
Also, those images are very disturbing. There was at least one that had a bunch of what looked like words scattered around it that weren't in the original image. Maybe reality really is a horrible nightmare that our brains filter out.
I think all the words are all the different conflicting thoughts on what to replace the words with (expletives, parodies, alternate languages, typographic alternatives; all in a horrible blended cocktail mix). If anything, I'm not too shocked at all the footage. I consider the "Fog" in the recordings to be how we perceive things unless we're absolutely certain of our perception of it (or visible free will). Which also means, in plenty of cases, dreams may come in clear as day, or slightly foggy (especially if it's lucid). Depends on how much control we actually have over our dreams.
I can imagine creative people will be pissed off to see nothing but blobs in their recordings because they keep adding or subtracting things as they create them, whereas neutral-minded or indecisive people that go with the flow would have almost no change in their perception, because they repeat what they have seen; sometimes to the pixel. That's my thought on that subject so far.
In a sense, I realized, this kinda supports some of my thoughts on the Mind Reading topic. This is the visual spectra. I can imagine vocals and so forth would be just as messy and full of static. Though that static is more like thousands of simultaneous thoughts running in mind while talking to oneself or making a hidden snark at someone without actually saying it. Think of my earlier statement except in vocals now. Yeah...
Also, considering all this, Code Geass and What Women Want (especially if they not only hear the thoughts, but can also see them) have now been placed in HONF for me with this discussed now. It takes alot to creep me out, and this actually got me now. :shudder:
