I get your point(s).

Gentlemen must be gentle.

Until that doesn’t work. };^)

I was speaking philosophically, of those who “oppose” human progress and the freedom enabling it. The Universe, our awareness of it, our conceptual means of identifying reality, those “voices” (philosophers) who impugn each “advance,” and oppose human flourishing.

America tends to innovate what it needs.

China tends to steal what they need.

Roughly similar to your thoughts?

Philosophically, however, such awe-inspiring images will be used as examples of the seriously silly ideas that “reality is an illusion;” man is incapable of determining “objective reality;” “the senses cannot be trusted;” etc. ad nauseum!

Meanwhile, the battle between proponents of a freely competitive society of visionary, daring, and creative individuals, and one of anthill, beehive, or herd of lemmings, will continue – provided the latter do not precipitate a mass suicide in the name of protection of the hive, hill, or herd!

For a long time I had problems with the term. Fake rendition of reality. Not actually available to our eyes and brains during our actual experiences of reality.

Then came ‘Night Vision’ technology. Useful in ways that my eyes and brain couldn’t offer me without this new class of ‘eyeglasses’.

False color means we can see what our eyes and brain cannot. We are able to see what in our lifetime we would never be able to see in its actuality.

Seeing in false color is better than not ever seeing it at all.
