    Interesting! It doesn’t to me. I don’t feel that meaning in the context of sentence that is contrasting ‘dark’ with ‘friendly’.

    The only other time I can think of ‘sitting in a cave’ being used is by my parents before they would turn on the room light when they found me playing video games in the dark. Another context that is just about light and not size.

    But I could believe that some people associate cave with small.

    Our brains are surprisingly easy to trick.

    For sure! But in this case the brain is being tricked because we benefit socially from going along with what higher status individuals say is true. This is the social illusion of marketing, not a perspective trick or an exploit in how the eye and brain process light.




  • Most anarchists i’ve met tend to be focused on the practical and spend most of their lives thinking and talking about the ramifications of their actions and political action in general.

    If you’re seeing similarities between ‘rightist nihilists’ and anarchists, you’re looking at stereotypes and not reality. They’re world’s apart. Anarchism requires a core of burning optimism about human capacity for co-operation and self governance. Depending on what you mean by ‘rightist nihilists’ you’re talking about no strong beliefs or diametrically opposed beliefs, goals, organizing structures, etc.
