Maybe the world is fine...

So I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't think blue and green are actually gone. I mean, we can't see them anymore, but I'm wondering if it's more like colorblindness than them actually changing the whole world. Because, think about it. If blue were actually gone, they sky wouldn't be gray. The sky would be red. That's how light and our atmosphere work. We see it as blue because of refracted red light. I remember reading about it forever ago in a science textbook. And if green were gone, we'd already be seeing the smaller plants starting to die, and they aren't, right? So they clearly still are...photosynthesizing. So. I'm not sure the world changed. I think this time it was us. And I can't decide if that's better or worse.

Well you're a friendly one, aren't you.

I was just thinking out loud, mostly.
And some people were still panicking about the colors.
I thought this might help a little.

Telling people they're color blind?
Implying hat someone has control over their body that they aren't aware of?

You didn't think this through at all, did you.

[notyourutopian]

It's a question of scale.
If it's something done to us, we can fix it.

If it's something done to the universe...how to we even begin to figure that out?

[godcards]

I'd like to know how one could fix themselves, if that were the case. We could be changed back if Retrospec has that much control, don't you think?

In any case, Retrospec is the one with all the answers... It might take longer to fix the universe, sure, but telling people on this scale that there's something personally wrong with them is only going to make the masses panic. As they do. About everything...

And yet you seem to be the only person bothered by this post.

We have to work on the assumption we can do something, because if we decide we can't,
we might as well simply roll over and wait for the next ridiculous thing to happen.

I'm just pointing out the flaws in your logic.

Isn't that what we're doing anyway?

[notyourutopian]

No, we aren't.
People are trying to figure it out.
We're working with what we have so far.

[godcards]

Which is nothing, except a sadistic entity who likes to watch us squirm.

[notyourutopian]

You must be awfully fun at parties.

This situation sucks.
You're right.
But we have to find what we can to latch on to.
Would you rather everyone just be miserable and afraid all the time?

[godcards]

My opinion won't change matters. Let them be miserable. However... if you need to latch onto something, something that doesn't distinctly imply that we're the one being controlled over the environment would be a better cause. That's all.

[notyourutopian]

See, I disagree.
If it's us, we can examine ourselves.
There are doctors on here who can try to figure out what changed.

If it's the color blue?
I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone with a doctorate in disappearing aspects of the light spectrum.

[godcards]

Then we'll have to agree to disagree. It's not just one person who's gone color blind, after all. It's a notable portion, and what's do say they couldn't control your very being?

I'd rather the color blue just be gone. They got rid of it, so they can put it back.

[notyourutopian]

But we can hardly rely on them to do so.
If this can be fixed, we have to assume We are going to fix this.
