Knowing the territory takes patient and direct observation.
For a number of months now I had James J Gibson theory of perception on my mind. My understanding of his ideas suggests to me that 1. There is a world out there and 2. We only know this word through perception.
I also have 2 young kids—and I notice that they spend a lot of time looking at the world (in many different ways). This is how they are getting to know the territory in order to build up their own models of reality.
I am excited for this sequence, I suspect that it will help me in clarifying what I think about the importance of perception.
