How does the visual processing work in, say, a lizard, where the two eyes can operate independently and don’t have to point in the same direction?
Then [Gaia] bore the Cyclopes, who have very violent hearts, Brontes (Thunder) and Steropes (Lightning) and strong-spirited Arges (Bright), those who gave thunder to Zeus and fashioned the thunderbolt. These were like the gods in other regards, but only one eye was set in the middle of their foreheads;[57] and they were called Cyclopes (Circle-eyed) by name, since a single circle-shaped eye was set in their foreheads.
The cornea plays an important role in light refraction in many terrestrial reptiles. It plays a lesser role in refracting light in aquatic reptiles. The steeper the curvature of the lens or the cornea, the greater the light gathering capacity. The lens is a composite of relatively soft crystalline proteins. Reptilian lenses are often oval and are focused by deformatio. Some aquatic species have round lenses (e.g.,sea turtles) that are deformable. Snakes have round lenses that are moved toward or away from the retina to focus.
They respond differently to light of different wavelengths, and are thus responsible for color vision, and function best in relatively bright light, as opposed to rod cells, which work better in dim light. Cone cells are densely packed in the fovea centralis, a 0.3 mm diameter rod-free area with very thin, densely packed cones which quickly reduce in number towards the periphery of the retina. Conversely, they are absent from the optic disc, contributing to the blind spot. There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula.
Cones are less sensitive to light than the rod cells in the retina (which support vision at low light levels), but allow the perception of color. They are also able to perceive finer detail and more rapid changes in images because their response times to stimuli are faster than those of rods. ... Because humans usually have three kinds of cones with different photopsins, which have different response curves and thus respond to variation in color in different ways, humans have trichromatic vision. Being color blind can change this, and there have been some verified reports of people with four or more types of cones, giving them tetrachromatic vision.
So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
They made for Zeus his all-powerful thunderbolt
According to Apollodorus, the Cyclopes also provided Poseidon with his trident and Hades with his cap of invisibility,
the Cyclopes on the Aeolian island of Lipari, working "at the anvils of Hephaestus", make the bows and arrows used by Apollo and Artemis
Virgil describes the Cyclopes, in Vulcan's smithy forging iron, making a thunderbolt, a chariot for Mars, and Pallas's Aegis, with Vulcan interrupting their work to command the Cyclopes to fashion arms for Aeneas.
Vorhies’ new book is called “Google Leaks: A Whistleblower’s Exposé of Big Tech Censorship.” The book dropped earlier this month.
...
“As a senior engineer at Google for many years, Zach was aware of their bias, but watched in horror as the 2016 election of Donald Trump seemed to drive them into dangerous territory. The American ideal of an honest, hard-fought battle of ideas — when the contest is over, shaking hands and working together to solve problems — was replaced by a different, darker ethic alien to this country’s history,” the description adds.
Vorhies said he left Google in 2019 with 950 pages of internal documents and gave them to the Justice Department.
It is unclear what, if anything, the DOJ did with those documents.

Cheers for the value add, brewtiger!
I'm wondering if there's a connect between Shane Browning, who's twitter handle is @VVission123, and both John McAfee and Mr Pool:
1) John McAfee miss-spelt N.C.S.W.I.C as N.C.S.VV.I.C. as i pointed out here.
The odds of using 2x V as a W, appearing twice with two actors in this movie are pretty low?
2) Mr Pool posted a picture of this in a speech bubble, here, on Aug 8th:
1,2,3...
LET'S GO
(Could also be read as "Let 's Go"... i.e. Let the hooked fish go free?)
3) Shane Browning's twitter handle uses the VV, split Vs, as an upside down M, so the handle is a play on Mission Impossible? "This tape will self destruct in 1,2,3..."?
I'm rambling now... it just hit a note with me!

b) Consider the V/W as descriptive of our Eye Lenses focussing Light to Cone and Rod cells in the eye, with, respectively;
i) V being One eye, and
ii) W being Two eyes?

What if it was more obvious, and the W is the two Vs in McAfee’s post? In French “W” is “double ve” which is literally “double V”. What about a triple V?

I'm wondering if we all should take a round of ivermectin. I've been thinking for a while now that there is something that is already in us via governments world wide that assists covid and the vaccines. Do you have any thoughts on that? To be clear to those who read this. I am asking for
Janes opinion and she is not giving medical advice. Jane if you feel more comfortable please feel free to PM me. I am not trying to put you in
a difficult position by asking this.
