Completely unrelated (or is it?):
I think that desires and opinions are like optical illusions - they tend to flip/flop and play tricks with the mind.

wisdom and hangovers
Can a hangover leave the residue of wisdom? Something more than the typical "that was a mistake" afterthought? (or wisdom beyond the physical residue of dried throw-up?)

True wisdom *avoids* hangovers ... and the subsequent "optical illusions" caused by such behaviors!
Maybe true wisdom does avoid hangovers. But what I was getting at is can a person come out of a hangover thinking more clearly or lucidly than usual? this doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
and I don't think that what I said in the second part is an optical illusion. I think it's true. I think that people often have competing desires or flip/flop between desiring something one moment and then being averse to it the next, and that our outlook on reality is partly based on all these shifting desires and opinions - thus the experience of an optical illusion. I don't know.
