It's not the same thing. This is what you're all doing. He had to be wrong because you are right, and there's no way this version of sight is even possible in your eyes. Question: If beautiful and ugly people are not traveling in the light, how do we see these beautiful and ugly features if not for conditioning? And how are we conditioned? Do you see the problem here? It has to be either light is bringing this beauty and ugliness to us, or somehow we are conditioned to seeing this beauty and ugliness as if they existed externally. Let me go over this one more time: Beautiful and ugly features are either traveling in the light (which you admitted and science itself never said this to be true) or we are conditioned somehow to seeing certain features as more beautiful or more ugly than others. Which is it?Efferent means conducted outward. That word came the closest to what he was trying to explain. If he had found a better word that would have described what he was demonstrating, he would have used it.
Yes, and if he had been wrong about his claims, he would have said so; since he never said he was wrong, he must be right, right?
He was wrong, not because anyone says so, but because his contention is just not the way brain and the senses work, where the eyes do in fact detect and absorb light and transmit information to the brain.
