That'd be 2 inches tho
Honey always seemed fishy. What's the tldr on what they were actually up to?
I doubt a single image can say something so broad reaching about someone's cognition. You'd need multiple images displayed in more standardized conditions to know anything with confidence. People could be seeing this on all sorts of displays, from an OLED smartphone screen with blue light filter enabled, to an HDR monitor with custom color calibration. They could have the image fill different proportions of their field of view and see it in very different emotional contexts. A single data point cannot say anything about a person's cognition.
On top of that, I have no idea what you mean by high vs low level vision. Are you talking about bottom-up vs top-down processing more generally?
Is it specifically testing to see how your brain changes the color or brightness of the red/orange based on depth cues?
The spacing of the lines on the circles gives the perception of a red/orange circle behind an object with slits cut out of it. Many of us can see an occluded circle because it's useful to be able to identify objects that are particularly hidden. It's like seeing an animal hiding in a bush at 100 meters, where you can't rely on binocular clues to perceive depth.
I'm guessing that the color/brightness change is similar to seeing the sun or the moon through a tree canopy. I've noticed that they look dimmer and more orange in a similar way to this image. The moon looks bigger and more yellow if it's seen on the horizon or through trees.
Regardless, a single image on 196 can't fully demonstrate which way you lean on anything.
All 3d images on a flat surface are an illusion in the same way as this image. It simply uses very limited depth cues when compared to most images.

I try to keep it positive there, as I've seen similar communities turn into spiraling pits of self hatred. Making fun of weakness is productive, but feeling ashamed is not.
So long as it's measured self depreciation, it's probably fine. If you want a women centered version of this, see @femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone
"He clearly became weak for rejecting masculinity and standing against us anti-woke fascists! We're obviously stronger because we follow strong leaders. We totally aren't cowards for only bullying those who are weaker than us!" 🤬
It might be better to pursue it and eventually be honest with them. As you learn more about their flaws, they will stop being an unreachable figure, and start to become a person you understand. At the same time, you don't need to hide your feelings as much (they might pick up on them, as like me, you probably suck at being sneaky). They'll feel respected and understood, especially if you make it clear that you'll accept a rejection.
That said, only try this if you can spend a lot of time with them. If you can't see each other very often, it would be hard for even a super charismatic person to form a meaningful bond. If they give a rude rejection to someone being so honest and vulnerable, you deserved better. If they give a kind rejection, you can move on and might be able to stay as friends. All potential options are better than the alternative, so be brave!
This advice (that I have never tried) should be taken with a handful of salt. I just looked at what didn’t work for me in the past, and assumed my anxieties then were totally counter productive. If someone was obsessed with me, I'd want them to behave this way. I want others to show me respect as an equal person, not hate themselves while seeing me as perfect.
Idk. I laugh everytime I see the pipe comic after watching a dude analyze it for an hour.
