Yes. Joker and Harley Quinn. Only it's usually the doctor who influences the patient and not the other way around.

And two times one is four.

I heard a similar thing. But a bit more complicated. It wouldn't be just the eyes, but all senses used by the brain to edit a filtered vision of reality.

And while the eyes take in everything they're capable of, the brain only focuses on what it considers important. Which is probably false due to the many, many times one will search for something within their cone of vision, yet are unable to see it.

So while I'm not sure of the details, the brain can be thought of as choosy with what it shows.

Eugenics at face value, lol.

While eugenics might sound good on paper, they might not work that well in practice. Also on paper it is said that these genetic differences that often show up as disabilities are a natural barrier against super plagues that might wipe us all out in one go.

Fine tuning ourselves into more perfect, single characteristic beings would actually make us far more vulnerable to extinction.

Just remember that too much self-love turns you into a Narcissus, so don't forget to stay hydrated or you'll wilt.

Yes. I don't recall which community posted it and when, but Google is adifying their Maps. They literally have sponsored routes planned that will go out of their way to promote paying businesses.

It's an intentional move they've been testing. Looks like you're one of the "lucky" participants.
