Conversations with Strangers

I was stuck on Warhol's "Isn't life just a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?" so I asked strangers on http://www.omegle.com/ with some interesting results:

You: isn't life just a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

Stranger: i think thats contradictory
Stranger: because how can something change as it repeats itself
Stranger: it either repeats or changes, not both

Stranger: i don't agree with that statement
Stranger: well its wrong basically...human experience is a series of images yes. but it doesnt make sense to say they change as they repeat themselves, does it?
Stranger: repitition and change are virtual opposites
Stranger: and the way in which ur average person takes in life is through images and responses to those images
Stranger: assuming they arent blind

Stranger: no
Stranger: you feel stuff too
Stranger: and smell
Stranger: and hear

Stranger: that's right but it should be a nice imagez

Stranger: well
Stranger: if ur refering to evolution then yeah
Stranger: definitely
Stranger: because life is to continue the next generation
Stranger: it technically has no real purpose
Stranger: what do you think the significance of life brings to the universe?
Stranger: nothing

Stranger: do u know the resolution of the human retina?
Stranger: lets say you're looking at purple light
Stranger: its about 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Stranger: i dont think an image has ever repeated itself
Stranger: ever
Stranger: anywhere
Stranger: which means its not so much repitition as familiarity maybe?
Stranger: or association

Stranger: it's pretty straightforward, but i don't agree with it
Stranger: from Warhols perspective, you know, the scene he was into, yeah, that was pretty damn repetetive
Stranger: but, that's what sort of art he was into, you know
Stranger: he made pieces that were indistinguishable from reality
connection imploded
