You don't know that, you're only repeating what your father wrote in his book, and there is no support for those ideas. There is support for the concept of conditioning through the other senses internally, not just vision. Many people can learn to like different foods, like different music, or appreciate different aromas. And vision isn't conditioned the way Lessans claims, both Lessans and you are wrong. Society sets up standards for the members of that society. Some African tribes believe that certain visual ornaments are beautiful, western societies don't share those ideas. The standard of beauty is determined by the society, and those standards are adopted by most members of that society.

Re: A revolution in thought
Vacuums are, by nature, dark. Light dirties up the vacuum. This is why we need vacuum cleaners to suck the light out of the vacuum and restore the vacuum to its pristine dark condition.

True, there is no process, internal or external, that sets up a standard for everyone. Even very strong social pressures are not capable of forcing all the members of a society to adopt the dominant social standards. Voila, social deviants!

Why not? You still aren't explaining why you think efferent vision is needed. Linking a value internally to form an archetype is exactly what Lessans described.

That's not what he described.

The combined word/object is projected when the object is seen. You may try to create another model that doesn't require efferent vision. As always, it will boil down to whose model is correct.

I was making a comparison. Nothing is shooting out of the projector just like nothing is shooting out of the eyes. A projector uses light just like our eyes do. Because of the way the eyes work some of what we see are accurate representations of reality but others are not depending on what word slides are stored in our memory banks and projected onto the screen. I know you're going to argue with me that it doesn't require efferent vision for this deception to be accomplished. That's fine and dandy. Bottom line is whose explanation is more accurate.

It's not just a matter of conditioning affecting visual input more than the other senses. The other senses cannot create the same kind of conditioning because they are receiving and transmitting external stimuli which is an individual process. You could say a certain food is yummy to a baby over and over again, and if that baby doesn't like that food she will reject it. There is no standard that can be created where the more you say something is delicious the more delicious that food will be to every child that hears this. You could say it a thousand times and it will not affect the tastebuds of that child. Conversely, you could say a certain food is yucky 1000 times, but if that child likes the taste of that food, she will think it's yummy and no yucky face or word will convince her otherwise. That is not the case with the eyes. It's true that what a child is exposed to will influence his taste for a particular item. But even in the same culture, there is no agreement on what a child will like or dislike due to individual taste.

You mean nothing is shooting out of the projector just like nothing is shooting into the eyes? Which would be bull, of course, but that's the analogy. If you compare the eyes to a projector, the retina is the screen.

Lessans' version doesn't require efferent vision, and you still haven't presented any version that does. What do you even mean when you say this projection is 'external'? What part of it is occurring outside of the person's head?

Are you actually retarded? LIGHT shoots out of a projector, just as light goes INTO the eyes. They are not the same at all.

You are talking in metaphors again. Please explain this in literal rather than figurative terms, and then explain how any of it requires efferent vision. If you don't actually know then just say so.

So what? Again, how does this difference translate into a need for efferent vision?

Because a standard cannot be developed, no matter how hard you try to do this. As in the other senses, no word can develop as an archetype for the general population. There is a difference even if you choose to ignore it.

You're still not even trying to explain what essential role efferent vision has in this process of developing an archetype. You also appear to now be conflating personal archetypes with social norms. It looks very much as if you have no idea what you're even talking about.

Re: A revolution in thought
Good news, boys. The pace of this thread has picked up nicely, and over at Fivethirtyeight.com, Nate Silver is forecasting that there is an 89.1 percent chance that the parties will begin here on Sept. 10 – five days sooner than the previous forecast.
If everyone would just make moar poasts, we can move the date up even sooner. Keep that in mind, boys.
Here are some questions to ask peacegirl to generate moar poasts and get to the parties quicker:
1. Can you spell “cat”?
2. Why is the sky blue?
3. Larry, Jim, Charlie and Harry each have access to a precious, precious cunt. How many precious, precious cunts do they have access to in total?
Incidentally, Flo may be able to book for the parties amphetamine-gobbling dwarfs who constantly bounce around in ecstasy. Here they are:
Do you boys think these dwarfs would be a good fit for the parties? Let Flo know.

You are trying to make his claim work without having to make the claim that the eyes are not a sense organ. I appreciate your effort but I will stick to his claim because I don't think your model would cause the kind of conditioning that we see across the board.
