knowledge is power; knowledge is weakness

[VIII]

knowledge is power; knowledge is weakness
Perception is created by knowledge, what is known. Perception is limited by knowledge, what is known.

knowledge is a tool; knowledge is a trickster
Knowledge is a base for understanding, the ability to comprehend. Knowledge is a base for misunderstanding, limiting our ability to comprehend.

language requires knowledge; language is limited
language defines culture; culture defines self
language limits self

self has no language; self has perception

The entities did not share words. The 'telepathy' was attachment of language, a layer over self, over perception. The entities demonstrated. The entities shared an advancement of language, a perception.


I will have to return to this later in a sober state...

 

[brokin]

Without perception you have no knowledge.
How could you Know, and than understand something you can't perceive?

Knowledge is limited by perception.

Depending on what belief "tunnel" you are trying explain

 

[The Day Tripper]

Perception is part raw uncensored sensory input, and part interpretative translation to "printed symbols" to be able to cognify said sensory input. Part of this is focus, or being able to block out certain aspects of perception to rationalize things into understandable components.

Without knowledge, language, culture, or memory, its all uninterpretable chaotic sensory input. However, an unquantifiable amount of sensory input gets lost in translation, its a cold hard fact. Language is a crude attempt to communicate a direct subjective experience that is infinite, and thus inherently flawed. Not useless, but crude and flawed. Progress can always be made to enhance communication/language.

To me, better understanding how to use language, and communication to transmit encoded data to another subjective interpreter, is the ultimate goal. That requires continuous commitment and mindfulness of the process on both ends though.

Sensory input is interpreted by knowledge to make perception, which is translated/encoded (for better or worse) through language/communication to try and replicate the perception received by the person relaying the message. The result of this process is culture imho.

I think its chasing after infinity, whether its scientific observation, effective communication, or trying to understand exactly how the mind interperets sensory input. Worthwhile for the pursuit of knowledge, but there is no end in sight.
