“Sometimes a photographer is a passenger, sometimes a person who stays in one place. What he watches changes constantly, but his watching never changes. He doesn't examine like a doctor, defend like a lawyer, analyze like a scholar, support like a priest, make people laugh like a comedian, or intoxicate like a singer. He only watches. This is enough. No, this is all I can do. All a photographer can do is watch. Therefore, a photographer has to watch all the time. He must face the object and make his entire body an eye. A photographer is someone who wagers everything on seeing.” PeoplePersonsI CanSometimesEnoughBodyEyeFacesCan DoWatchesSupportLaughingSeeingObjectsDoctorsPhotographerLawyerSingersComedianPriestsScholarNever ChangeMaking People LaughPassengersWagers Author:Shomei Tomatsu

“I love museums, but I always thought there was something funny about a group of strangers silently staring at works of inanimate objects together.

“So when we come across somebody who does understand this and makes an effort to try and explain it to us, some people freak out and turn that person into either an object of worship or, some people freak out and want to kill that person. I think it's because they know what's true but they don't want to know, they don't want to face up to what that actually means. So they're going to kill the messenger and hope that by doing so they'll destroy the message so they can go back to living their ordinary life again.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantTryingMeanPersonsDoeFacesTurnsEffortObjectsWorshipMessagesOrdinaryFreakMessengersOrdinary Life Author:Brad Warner

“Language would have evolved first as an internal object, a kind of "language of thought" (LOT), with externalisation (hence communication) an ancillary process. I can't review here the strong and growing evidence to support this conclusion, but I have elsewhere. There are ample reasons why having a LOT would confer selectional advantage: the person so endowed could plan, interpret, reflect, etc., in ways denied to others.” WayFirstsKindPersonsI CanReasonLanguageStrongProcessSupportGrowingPlansObjectsCommunicationEvidenceAdvantageConclusionReason WhyEtcInternalsReviewsDeniedElsewhere Author:Noam Chomsky
