one of those refractive index displays, whatever called, the magic of physics, but still unanswered is the question of if they exist outside of your brain, today’s philosophy question

well I presume that the only involvement of your brain in the production of the image above was in aligning a camera and pressing a button, so I’d say that image does exist outside your brin.

it’s tough, i’ve seen similar denial before, the possibility that rainbows don’t exist is more than most can tolerate, an intolerable idea

i’m here for you, rev, to see you through the impending ontological crisis

Very generous of you mr. t, but you really don’t need to worry. If you want to define “exist” in such a way that rainbows do not “exist”, that’s just fine with me, no crisis or crises required.

I will continue to use the ordinary definition of the word though.
