More vision stuff. We don’t see the world, like looking through the eyes as windows. What we see as ‘images’ is our possible action on the world. A blindfolded person will tend to put their hands out like this, to feel their way, showing what the real function of sight is. Blind people don’t, blindfolding is not a simulation of blindness. Something that ‘looks far away’ is not actually far away, the image is our relative action on that thing. It’s so habitual to feel that vision is just ‘looking’ though. I think our ideas around vision shape our ideas on just about everything else, ideas matter.
