“Revolution in Thought: A new look at determinism and free will"

I have not attacked you for no reason. You have attacked me and this author.
"Disagreed with" ≠ "Attacked".

If your ideas cannot stand scrutiny, they deserve to be attacked. You yourself have not been attacked at all.

BTW, Laughing at someone who is being clearly ridiculous isn't an attack, either.
It was callous. It was nasty. It was demeaning. It was unhelpful. It was hurtful. And it was wrong IN ALL ASPECTS!

It's pointless.

Nobody is going to be convinced in claims like light at the eye/instant vision. It goes against all evidence.

That the author was wrong on this doesn't necessarily mean that he was wrong about environment and human conditioning, so if you see change as being important, it would be better to just focus on that aspect and drop light/instant vision, which serves no purpose other than to discredit the observations on human behaviour that he may have had.

Exactly right.

I think the author has a point worth considering: the perhaps counterintuitive idea that if we all believed we have no free will, we would behave better, not worse. And the stuff about conditioning. This is a subject of general semantics, as noted, and is repeatedly addressed by people like Krishnamurti, also noted.

But peacegirl is convinced this light and sight stuff is right just because the writer wrote it and she will never take it out of the book. Thus she will always be doomed to disappointment.

It is a very important topic because it changes our perception. There are things such as cars, houses, trees, streets, chairs (you get the point) that are real because these things correspond to real aspects of the known universe, but there are other words that do not correspond but appear as if they do. This has everything to do with how the eyes work, or we would not be able to be conditioned in this way, which has hurt many. Anyway, I'm tired of proving this to people. I have no desire for them to even read the chapter.

Nooo, this is not just semantics. This is an actual conditioning of the brain due to words that are associated with certain features. I can't believe you got nothing from this. Your logic regarding compatibilism is a semantic shift, which makes it appear that we could choose otherwise. It's a modal fallacy. Regarding the eyes, let me refresh your memory.

The word beautiful has absolutely no external reality, and yet because it is learned in association with a particular physiognomy, a beautiful girl is created when no such person exists. Obviously, there is a difference between the shape and features of individuals, but to label one beautiful and another ugly only reveals that you are conscious of a fallacious difference that is projected through your eyes upon substance that cannot be denied—which makes the projection appear real. By having the words beautiful, ugly, gorgeous, etc. as slides in a movie projector through which the brain will look at the external world, a fallacious value is placed upon certain specific differences only because of the words, which are then confirmed as a part of the real world since man will swear that he sees beautiful women with his eyes. But in actual reality, all he sees are different shapes and different features. This beautiful girl is not striking his optic nerve, which then allows him to see her beauty, but instead he projects the word onto these differences and then photographs a fallacious relation. The brain records all relations, whether true or false, and since it was considered an indisputable fact that man had five senses that were connected in some way with the external world, and since four of these were accurately described as sense organs, that is, they receive and transmit external stimuli, it was very easy for Aristotle to get confused and put a closure on further investigation by including the eyes in the definition, which he did only because he never understood their true function.
But peacegirl is convinced this light and sight stuff is right just because the writer wrote it and she will never take it out of the book. Thus she will always be doomed to disappointment.
No matter what you say Pood, you're not right, and I would bet my life on it. You would love me to take it out of the book. No way would I do that because the eyes are not a sense organ, which Lessans proves from his demonstration. You still hold the belief that bees in groups (without being in their normal environment) could recognize their beekeepers' faces without other cues. You found this on the internet with no test to prove it. You said dogs can recognize pictures and cardboard replicas of their masters. There is no proof of this. You never go back to correct the things you got wrong because you don't want to be wrong. But truth is truth, and I will not let this mistake continue if I can do something about it. I know people are going to laugh at me, but who will get the last laugh is yet to be determined. :)

It's not how our eyes work that conditions us in terms of how we interpret the events of the world. The eyes just convey information to the brain, which processes that information in order to build a mental picture of the world and self.

The 'light at the eyes/instant vision" adds nothing to the issue and only serves to discredit the authors insights into human behaviour.

People think he is wrong because they HAVE read what he wrote. It’s your loss that you refuse to learn something about how reality really works.

And this is why deposing is so effective: it reveals positions as "sycophantic" rather than "reasonable". If someone is incapable of evaluating claims to that point where they take the bad with the good, I have no reason to even start to take their claims seriously.

The book would be more credible if the errors are edited and removed. It's not that the reader thinks that 'light at the eye/instant vision' is wrong, but that according to physics, it is demonstrably wrong. The world does not work like that.

That’s the theory. The brain obviously processes information, but because of how it works, the information that it processes is the result of our becoming conditioned by words. This process does not remove building a mental picture of the world and self. In fact, it is based on what we see, although what we see is distorted when we use words that do not describe true reality.

You don’t understand why physics has nothing to do with it. When you say eye/instant vision, you still have the mindset that light has to reach our eyes through travel like in a car. You are missing the entire reason as to why this is not so.

Physics has everything to do with how light works and how we see. Your author’s claim has nothing to do with physics, though, and by the principle of transitivity, nothing to do with how light works and how we see.
When you say eye/instant vision, you still have the mindset that light has to reach our eyes through travel like in a car.

Because that is exactly what it does.
You are missing the entire reason as to why this is not so.

Could you give that alleged reason for the first time ever, in all the years you have been promoting these claims? Because the author certainly doesn’t.

He gave a demonstration of what he described is happening. The neural networks would remain the same but instead of the brain converting the signals into images, it would use those signals that connect the retina and optic nerve to see the world as it is now. IOW, the signals do not get transduced as images because nothing in the signal contains that information. That’s why he said nothing in the light strikes the optic nerve. Rather, the optic nerve allows the brain to look through the eyes (the retina), as a window to see existence.

The brain and eyes are part of the central nervous system which gives further evidence how the eyes are different from the other 4 senses. Science has already mapped out how the eyes work in great detail and they are correct except for this one misstep which has huge implications as to how we see the world and each other. When we stop using words that don’t symbolize reality but have caused a distorted view of what we think we see (because we cannot deny that we see these differences with our very eyes), we will be living in a world that brings everyone up to a level of equality that was never before possible. Once this new understanding is confirmed to be sound, science can do more testing in order to map out this alternative view in much more detail.

That's an astonishingly large number of words, when a simple "no" would have carried the same information.

Sorry, still no model. A nice display of gibberish, though.

Your author says the light enters the pupil. What happens to it then?

Total blank out from him and you.

Earlier you said the optic nerve has no nerve ending, and that “ought to be a clue” of something or other, lol. Except, the optic nerve has up to 1.7 million nerve endings, and the are all afferent, not efferent. The lens focus the light on the retina after it enters the pupil. The retina consists of photoreceptors. You used the word yourself earlier. Did you notice the “receptors” part in there? That means RECEIVE. The photoreceptors RECEIVE the focused light and convert it to electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.

Nor is any of this guesswork, assumption, or dogma. It’s well-tested reality.

How does your “model” enable us to see? Where does the light go after it enters the eye? How can the optic nerve transmit signals when it is entirely afferent? Even if it did transmit signals outward, how would that enable us to see?? How would these signals interact with the incoming light?? How would this inane patchwork of falsities enable us not just to see but to see in real time??

You have no idea. You’re just making shit up, throwing at a wall, and praying some of it sticks.

It doesn’t have to be an exact model. This is insanity pood. He has to show what is happening and why. It can be confirmed empirically. Give this author a break. He came from a different angle which you want to throw in the trash.

It’s not about what sticks to confirm his demonstration. It’s ironic that this is what science is doing because they cannot prove that signals are interpreted as images. Your post does nothing. It just repeats and repeats and repeats the same model that you believe has been proven, but has it? That is the reason for my being here. 🫤

Even if it did transmit signals outward, how would that enable us to see?? How would these signals interact with the incoming light?? How would this inane patchwork of falsities enable us not just to see but to see in real time??

You have no idea. You’re just making shit up, throwing at a wall, and praying some of it sticks.
Well, I can sure as shit know my model helps people to see because AFAIK, didn't someone get an ocular implant that processes signals according to that theory?

Yep!


Not only is the eye a sensory organ, we have reproduced it's function in situ using that theory.

That’s really awesome. And, of course, yet another direct and incontrovertible refutation of the author’s claims.
