Eye: What is a visionary? Eye: Isn't it true that most people can see? Eye: I mean that I believe that I see more than most people. Eye: By connecting everything I have ever seen into one congruent image. Eye: That means that I can see everything, all at once. Most people just use their eyes. Eye: For that, of course, an example is needed. A startfish is always a good example. Eye: Because it exists. Eye: Fine. We'll use a stop sign, although there are two reasons why I didn't pick the stop sign to begin with. Eye: Right. There are three reasons why I didn't pick the stop sign to begin with.[[[I take it that no one was expecting that Spanish Inquisition, right?]]]]1.) Stop signs involve driving, and that is an entirely different, if not more complex, concept. 2) I needed a plug for bubba. 3)It was the first thing that came to my mind. Eye: Child, there are more points flying around this page than there are in an entire basketball season. Eye: Right, the stop sign. Or does that mean I cannot continue. Eye: When you first look at the stop sign, you see language. Eye: Do you know what "Yeah, I guess" means? Eye: Oh yeah? Try this. Explain to me how your mind bio-chemically allows for understanding the sign's meaning. Eye: I can. Eye: Would you like me to? Eye: That's what I've been trying to do since you read the first word you ever read on these pages. Eye: Ok, but that really depends on what aspect of the stop sign you'd care to examine. Eye: In normal every-day usage [e.g. stopping at the stop sign], it doesn't seem all that complex to me either. However, when I actually take the time to look at it, it becomes infinitely complex. Eye: Duh! But I am actually trying to make a point. Eye: Perhaps, but I'll do it anyway. If I were trying to prove to someone that I was a visionary, by my meaning of the word, I would show him my ability to create a logical [or most-plausible in the worst case scenario] explanation for any phenomena. Eye: Right. The first thing that happens is that you see the stop sign. Eye: This happens first because in using our eyes, we are also using light. Eye: Which "appears" to be the speed limit of the universe. [I use the word "appears" because I don't believe that all that math stuff we humans have is complete.] Eye: No. The sight isn't complete yet. Focus, focus! Eye: Because I've only mentioned the stuff that happens outside the body. You know, photons and stuff. Photons are the little tiny "particles" of light that travel really fast. Kinda like an atom, only an atom has mass, or weight. Eye: So then the particle of light hits the lens on your eyeball. Yes, "lens" is a technical term. Eye: Well, it eventually passes from the lens of the eye to the nerve cell. Here is where the picture gets interesting. Eye: The first part of the nerve cell says, hey, I recognize this stuff. It is supposed to travel in this direction. Eye: Well, no. But, if nerve cells were capable of speech, that is what they would say. Anywhoo, as the nerve impuse travels into the rest of your brain, things like color and hue get added. . . unless, of course, you're blind, but in that case you wouldn't be driving so it doesn't matter all that much what a stop sign does look like. Eye: That smoking can ruin your health. Eye: Well, when it comes down to conceptualization, the easiest place to start is CERTAINLY NOT at a sign that says "Stop"!! Eye: With a story about creation.
