  • Mirror Mirror on the Wall - Who's Most Devious of them All?

    You see a mirror on the wall – How do you interpret this phenomenon?

    Do you:

    [A] See yourself looking back at yourself from within the mirror – albeit reversed left to right?

    [B] See a sheet of glass; on the reverse-side of which is a thin coat of reflective silver that appears to display answer [A]

    [C] Other?

    Answers [A] + [B] are examples of literal modes of thought!

    Both are consistent interpretations of perceptual [reality] [physics] [illusion] [belief] [faith] [dimensionality]!

    Answer [C] is an example of creative and/or lateral thinking!

    Technically [C] is more accurate than either [A] or [B].

    Give an example of [C] that is [1] Accurate, and/or [2] Fun!

    [1] Must be written as a neutral-idiotism: i.e. Standard Lingua-Anglo/Americana… (boring-old common-sense English – A.K.A idiotspeak).

    [2] MUST be written in a tautological-idiolectic manner that employs creative circumlocutive-prolixity! - A.K.A coluretalk).

    Answer [2] MUST also be a philosophically consistent explanation of the phenomenon.
