Default Re: Sight

Master of the faster: That's a very difficult question to answer. The most important thing is, I don't think anyone can have 'upside down' vision. I know you're just asking hypothetically speaking, but if there's a way of interpreting the world that the mind is not capable of reproducing...

To get to what Chrissi was talking about, if you just don't happen to see the world the usual 'right side up' way, doesn't mean you're seeing it upside down as default.
Pretend someone were actually perceiving the world entirely as upside down. We'd never be able to know it because they adapt to what they see and be able to work with it perfectly fine. Why? Because everything's standardized in themselves.

BTW, does anyone happen to know how George Stratton actually perceived the world? Did he eventually see things the way he did before he put on the glasses, or did he just adapt to the upsidedowness?
