Salient -- most noticeable, sticks out, like a fortification with a projection that makes attack more difficult.
For a society the advantages of democracy only stick out so far as you care about the the welfare of the society.
Care about the society.
I don't know what that whole thing means. What in the world could he even be applying that to? These lawyer-types talk backwards sometimes. Professors especially. Lawyer professors especially especially. Let's try my reversonator, tick tick tick set to full 180.
If you don't care about [the welfare of] society then the advantages of Democracy [for society] do not stick out.
Yeeeeaaah.
tick tick tick
So if you notice something like that, it means the person does not appreciate all those delicacies attendant upon the stewardship of power in Democracy, that when mishandled set things awry within the not cared for society.
My body automatically sighed. I didn't even think that, it just did it. That happened at a bar one time at happy hour, not many people there, the bartender heard my body audibly exhale, a sound of resignation I guess, and he cracked up laughing so hard he spilled his pour, he said it was perfect like a scene being shot for a movie or something.
They do it all the time, those painters. They paint a seascape or a landscape and they stick a ship or a structure or a person or two in there -- sometimes they're itty, bitty little people -- because that's just something the painters have to do. It's the law.
Yeah, yeah. I know, I know. It has something to do with the perception of scale and all that but it still annoys me.
I can't be the only person on earth who sees it that way and there must be a word for it, and no, self-defeating, persnickety dumbbell isn't sufficiently specific. I'm thinking of something more along the lines of a psychiatric or neurological diagnosis.
Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Nice painting. Nice GIF.
The ship is important to this painting. I cannot be annoyed by it. It adds so much by it being so little because the imaginative daydreamy somewhat mental viewer places themselves on the ship and experiences the aurora all around, not just amazing light show in the distance, but the reflections off the surface of the water all around the ship, changing the color of the ship itself. And this aurora is not the regular faint light kind, this is a deep kind color aurora and the color shapes within the aurora constantly changing seem to form letters and numbers and symbols that flicker and disappear and reform as altered letters as if the cosmos is trying quietly but desperately to communicate, and the figures that appear within the aurora seem menacing to the fragile boat sitting on the surface of near frozen water with ice chunks all around, five seconds in that water and you're dead, it's that cold, that unprotected, that vulnerable. The ship is like a bug in the painting. I wish the name of the painting was the name of the ship as if the aurora is incidental, as if it were not a landscape, seascape, nor skyscape, but rather, an historical record of the ship.
I entered Lem's through Blogger dashboard to catch a glimpse first of what is going on, and notice 4 comments here to this anim right here, I do a zig-zag back and forth between dashboard and my other sites that stack up in dashboard. Another site this gif is hosted where I linked back to the source and also made a comment at the source, shows nearly 500 page views of this same gif and that's quite a lot for that little "place to put stuff" site.

Like it a lot but not enough to buy it and frame it, but like it enough to play around.

The ship. I find the ship a distraction.

I saw aurora once in Central Ohio, on a Halloween a couple decades ago. It was only white shafts in the far northern sky, though.
I was hoping to see some on a business trip to Prince Albert, Sask but the sun never really set that time of year.
Cool effect Chip.

So Keith Haring is really still alive and up at the North Pole?
