Subject: RE: BS: KISS keep it simple
I find wisdom in anecdotal evidence. Some of the greatest baseball champions have a neurological advantage in seeing fast things in slow motion. Like ear training, it is something many can learn. It can happen in emergencies like witnessing a 90mph car accident. I recall watching a man spill out the back seat as the car started cartwheeling and seeing him slide on his butt down the meridian with wide eyes going 80 mph. As a child, I saw what I called lightning people. In college, I could speed up my vision until the flicker of fluorescent light became individual flashes. These kinds of experiences can be called phenomenology since they are aspects of consciousness. Some things are experiential and not a fact for everyone all the time.
