It's why a phone screen on moderate to low brightness seems almost blinding in a dark room, but the very same screen at absolute maximum brightness can seem dull compared to daytime sunlight. Or why just a teaspoon or two of sugar in something that's supposed to be savory can make it taste much too sweet, while something that's supposed to be sweet (especially if balanced against sour or bitter flavors) might have ten times as much sugar and still taste only mildly sweet.For me, the last ~15 years or so almost feel like a blur, particularly the past five years or so, while the preceding 15 feel vast, because I was rather young.</blockquote>
