The world has completely changed in 12 years for me (as “pictured”), although you can point out unimportant perennial themes, such as the wall items are the same in the office. It goes to how the ‘stupid’ read images in an image-obsessed culture. There are are too many (pre)assumptions in a person’s thinking for/in the perception of an image, and that without historical knowledge (Australian Historical Association), the fool population are stupid, and lifelong learners need to say it, and say it loud.
Very morning, when I wake up, I hear on the media, on the national broadcaster (ABC) even, the nonsense. We’re expected to believe that “this” person is “smart”, that the economy is “smart”, and that “A.I.” is smart, all based in false assumptions.
We need to say, …
“…you-I-we are projecting into the image what you-I-we think you-I-we perceive, but the measure of what is correct in that perception, is to the extent you-I-we know the history, and know it because you-I-we have opened your-mine-our mind to open learning and prepared to put aside your-mine-our presumptions (the prejudices of assumptions).”
For example, in the picture, are now the absence of persons which changes completely what is perceived in the picture (image).
Featured Image: August 10, 2012. I arrived home this afternoon to a wonderful surprise provided by my lovely daughter, Genevievre . I walked into my office and my chair was missing, and in its place was a box. I said to myself, “where’s my chair?” and “what is this box doing here?” Genevievre had given her dad a new office chair. What a kind and beautiful daughter!
