We think we see. . .

We think we see, yet perception is not so certain

We reason, a powerful tool, yet it can lead us astray

And when we scale the heights of spirit,

We return deep in knowledge? gnosis? noisis?

Certain in our convictions

Or convicts?

Humility before mystery

Approximation progressing to confidence

Test, measure, try all things

Dare to be naive…

===========================

Quick proof of our vision blind spots:

Watch the flashing green dot in the middle. What happens to the peripheral dots?
