I can see the first one fairly clearly in my default state of consciousness, which I suppose confirms my theory that I have higher-than-average vision persistence. (I have never used psychedelics, and do not plan to)

Tips to make it stand out more: HDR monitor at max brightness, increase playback speed to 2x

Try not to follow the movement, but keep your eyes on a fixed location (e.g. a speck of dust on your screen)

> I have higher-than-average vision persistence

First time heard about this. Do you think that you have more "buffer space" for past visual input than average, or do the older and newer visual input "merge together" in the same "buffer space"? What I'm trying to get at is that does this come at cost of blurring vision or reaction speed, or do you have no problems related to those?

The latter. This is the first time it's ever been remotely "useful", the rest of the time it's annoying.
