Why is a desert like a forest?
they are both ecosystems necessary to the health of the planet. and full of fragile lifeforms.
Most DEFINITELY. But think more…. Composition-wise.
Seal of the Red Queen –
She of zealous passion – infatuous and impetuous – she is the Warrioress, the Lover, lustful and raging. She is the guiltless, the unapologetic, the one who rides in brazen nudity and cuts down all who stand in her way. She is the Whore and the Soldier – mad with passion and blossoming in ecstasy as she slips the knife between the ribs. Both feral and refined, she is adorned in silk and lace with blood at her teeth and a smile on her twisted lips. She of double-edged laugh, the loving and the hateful – the Red Queen comes.
Seal of the Black Mother –
Before there Was, there was Nothingness – Our Lady of the Abyss, who destroyed herself so that all might be, existing within the void that once was She. And so she remains in the emptiness – the vacuum – the shadows; She is the conscious blackness, devoid of all light, the Beginning and the Inevitable End. Silence is her song.

Little Lesson #2
One says it is green, the other says it is red. Who is correct?
Neither, colors depend on what kind of color receptors you have in your eyes. In a way, its subjective/depends on perception.
the only accurate way to say is by emission/reflection spectrum! o/ [/nerd]
@veneficiumxxveritas “its subjective/depends on perception” – correct. But for the sake of things, let’s assume that at least one of them is correct. Which one is it? Does it matter? Even knowing that one is correct, does it change the perception of the other? Physically. If one is “correct” and the other is “wrong,” what good does it to do tell them which is which? But is one of them wrong?
@hyratel I suppose you’re right – one could get a precise reading of the color along the quantifiable spectrum of colors, but the question is: would this reading change the perception of either party? I’m not simply speaking of two stubborn entities, but both are giving accurate attestations to how they perceive this object’s color – would this new evidence discount their own perceptions? Would this new evidence miraculously alter the way their own innate biology (as veneficiumxxveritas noted above) – of course not. So, the underlying question is not what color the object actually is – but who is correct.
I specifically chose the colors red and green because some with color blindness have trouble differentiating the two and things that fall between them, So, let’s assume both are color-blind. Their eyes gather the data and the brain interprets it as: green for one and red for the other. Say a third party enters, who has not been diagnosed with color blindness says the object is yellow.
We now have three who have seen the object and all three vary in the description of its color. Who is correct? Does it matter?
What is the definition of correct? Let’s say you see the object as well. Assuming you do not suffer from colorblindness, let’s say you interpret the object to be green as well. But two others see it, one joins the “Red Group” and the other, the “Yellow.” Having seen the object – witnessing first hand that is is quite obviously green – does this discount the remaining 4 people? What if the data from the spectrometer suggests that the color falls closer to red than any other color? Does this knowledge effect your own perception? Does this quantifiable evidence change alter your perception of the color?
