Reading The Book King Leopold

Dillard And Leopold Gift Of Perception Thier
1,206 words&# 65279; Sight is merely the collecting of various fragments of light, but the act of seeing is about assumptions. Light bouncing of an object (a chair for example) is only that and nothing else. As far as optics are concerned we do not see the chair, we merely see what is left of any light hitting the chair. But those flashes of light are almost useless without interpretation and assumptions. Our minds use shading, texture and prior experience to determine aspects such as distance and definiti...

Meaning use as many and as much of the earth s resources as can be replaced, and that will do no harm to surrounding habitats because the organisms that live there are part of the land or ecosystem also. To do this kind of conservation at this extent after we have done virtually nothing for all of man s existenc...
