Thoughts 9
In
the last post (Thoughts 8) I stated that the frames have to
encompass many things, but it can never comprehend the society as a
whole. With all of (societies) individual parts should
have been tacked on to the end of that sentence.
Considering
I have never made a scientific study, it still seems to me that the
only way we can use our intellect to learn is through sense
perception. What we see, feel, hear, taste or smell is the way we
learn. Humans probably learn more through sight than other senses.
If
the previous paragraph is true then the acuteness of a person's
senses would affect the way he learns; how fast and/or strong the
nerves transmit the signals, how firm an imprint is made on the
brain, how long is the memory, how the sense experience is related to
other experiences and there could be more. All these things are the
physical side of learning, a non-physical thought process. This adds
up to being hardwired in general ways.
Other
beings on this earth have some senses that are different from any we
have. Also, others having the same senses as us, have stronger or
weaker ones than we do. The bat uses echo location to find insects at
night. We use radar. There is more light than what is visible to us.
We have developed instruments to detect what we think is the rest of
the spectrum.
If
we had (maybe we have and they have not been discovered yet) other
senses our reference frames would be different. The difference in our
physical wiring makes a difference in our reference frames. Some
differences might be slight and others major.
What
I am trying to show is what everyone knows. We all see things
differently. In other words we live in different realities. Where we
place ourselves in our reality is what this chapter is about.
No
two people see things alike so wherever we place ourselves in our
reality is different from anyone else. To learn we have to have
reference frames, so I am going to set them up for our personal
position. I will try to give twelve directions of perception (there
probably are better ways of describing than directions of
perception) so people can categorized that particular part of
their reality.
If
the above is not clear, please ask questions.
