Scale of judgement. (work in progress)
In order to remember and judge the world around us we need scale.
Anecdote:
Last winter, I went to the park in many times to look at the scenery and nature. A friend happened to be there one day and described the ice on the river in terms of its thickness. This boggled my mind for a minute. What does the thickness matter? From his perspective, the thickness of the ice was important. Thereafter every time I saw the ice I wondered and estimated the thickness of the ice. The imaginary gauging of the ice greatly helped me remember the ice imagery in my mind. But I hated to think of the ice in terms of thickness, it just exists.
Human senses of the physical world.
Different levels of cognition to achieve perception and scale-judgement.
Sight sound touch taste smell. touch offshoots Balance, hunger, biological hormones that induce lust (sexual pleasure+reproduction), pride/vanity (oneself looking good/being worthy, for the purpose of sexual pleasure+reproduction). All senses intertwined.
To sense reality it is time dependant, and sense of time passing is relative to the wakefullness, fear level, enjoyment or unpleasantness of the current situation.
A camera can capture a moment in time, but an audio recording can’t. Audio needs time again, for the recording to be played-to be sensed. There is no rewind on a still picture, and no frozen moment hearable in audio.
You got some time?
