Explains a lot, really. ;)

 
Yes, do they control me?
Maybe it is Russian mushrooms?
Or are they containing CHernobyl radiation?
 
My night vision is exceptional
But now something really strange happened
Day before yesterday I was in the  sup[p]er market.
Shopping list says 'grounded pepper'
 
Standing in front of racks there with a thousand different small bottles with all sorts of colors grounded stuff in it.
Looked at some labels, was not pepper
So, where...?
I stepped back a bit, all of the sudden I had a smell intensivation, smelled a hundred or more things,
took a deep sniff, noticed the pepper, got ii
 
Now dogs can do that (to find drugs for example in custom control)
but HOW can my smell suddenly increase hundreds if not thousands times so I can can pick
out  a closed bottle from meters away in a second?

I think your nose was simply overwhelmed by all the scents when you were
closer to the bottles - backing up diluted the smells enough that your
brain could then differentiate them...

Possible..

Thinking about it, the stuf was all the way on the left in the racks, moving back widened my view
but does not explain the smell intensivation..

One of Richard Feynman's books (What Do You Care What Other People Think
- AIR) went into some simple experiments he played with his wife on
scents...

I have some old youtube videos 'Feynman lectures' somewhere.
Wikipedia mentions he rejected Le Sage theory of gravity, but then
a mathematician using Ohm's law would reject electron tubes..
Mathematicians are good at math, but are dengerous explaining things
that do not fit their equations, run-away crap results such a string theory ...

  scroll down to
   "In 1965 Richard Feynman examined the Fatio/Lesage mechanism,"
Well....
Now we hand it all to AI, a vicious circle as AI and math... well
