“We should begin thinking of events as the primary realities and of time as an abstraction from them—a concept derived mainly from regular repeating events, such as the ticking of clocks. Events are perceived, but time is not (Gibson, 1975).”
James J. Gibson, The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception

Stokely Carmichael
“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”
Stokely Carmichael

“But then, of course, one can peek through the fingers, which is not only pleasurable but a lesson in practical optics.”
James J. Gibson, The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception

George Orwell
“Crimestop means the faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments if they are inimical to Ingsoc, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop, in short, means protective stupidity.”
George Orwell, 1984

Robert Walser
“We don’t need to see anything out of the ordinary. We already see so much.”
Robert Walser, Selected Stories
