Why Is The Sky Blue?

The sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter other colours of the visible spectrum. At sunset, the light path is so long through the atmosphere that red is the stronger colour.
Antonio Gramsci put forward the idea that the values of a ruling class come to be seen as the norm. That over time, these values become accepted as normal and, as a result, people are born into a society in which they do not question the status quo but adopt these values even if they cause conflict within themselves.
But normal doesn't mean natural. The colour of the sky is only the colour we see.

The History Of The Present

‘Hey Seb.’
‘Hey Seb.’
‘What have you been up to?’
‘I’ve been wondering how knowledge is acquired.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Exactly that.’
‘Exactly what?’
‘That. You just asked a question. Because you want to acquire knowledge.’
‘No, I don’t. You just said something I didn’t understand.’
‘So you want to acquire knowledge.’
‘No, I don’t.’ I glared at me. ‘And it’s not knowledge if you’re talking crap.’
‘How do you know it’s crap?’
‘Because it usually is.’
‘But how did you acquire that knowledge?’
‘I’m going to hit you. I have knowledge that that hurts.’
‘And besides if my knowledge is crap then it means that your knowledge about it is crap too so maybe it isn't crap after all...’
I hit me.

The Eye Of The Beholder

The funny thing about your image is that it isn’t yours.
You meet someone over brief moments and the way you look, the way you dress, and the way you act creates an image in that person which then escapes beyond your control. You then become branded someone nice or smart or funny or intense or some other reductive adjective which they use to describe you.
Sometimes your image has nothing to do with you, it just depends on the other person’s mood.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but what the hell is going on behind that eye?
