My eyes must really suck because even the one on the right looks gold and white to me, but in bad, slightly fluoro-blue, light.

I don’t agree that this whole dress trauma we’ve all been through is a privileged distraction from “the issues” or a stupid way to celebrate net neutrality or whatever (though, yay, net neutrality!).

In fact, I’m hoping DressGate will be a turning point in our societies whereby we become way more self-critical about what our brains think is self-evident and natural and the only, inevitable way to see things. That’s probably a bit optimistic. But I do think it could be cool to talk about the dress picture in an educational setting to introduce the concept of ideology.

PS: On this matter I have to admit I’m wrong and the Daily Mail is right. The dress is as blue and black as the Northland by-election.

PS: Yes, this (this?!) has brought me out of blog-tirement and I’m not sorry.
