5. Visual Information.

'innocent eye'...."It postulates that we can, and possibly should, attend to all messages which the eye receives from the visible world with neutral impartiality because to be selective in our attention introduces a bias and therefor a distortion of the objective truth."

...."Whether we want to or not, we have to be selective because our eyes are."

(Part Two. The Perception of Order. IV The Economy of Vision. Variety of Vision) 

From this selection, a contradiction of the two premise catch my intention. 
Exactly as it mention, even though i do not intentionally be selective on particular topic, I have my eyes fix on some specific sentences I read. Then i unconsciously read over and over that sentences to absorb its meaning more deeply. "We have now seen why this demand is quite unrealistic." is the following of first passage. Nevertheless, we as a human can not be totally neutral in any objective truth as we always somehow pick thing we prefer, thus there's no such thing as right or wrong in our subconscious mind.


" We usually accept it as natural for instance that light comes from above or that areas of still water are level. These and similar expectations with which we approach the visible world provide opportunities for tremendous economies in reducing the amount of information to which we have specially to attend."

(Part Two. The Perception of Order. IV The Economy of Vision. Variety of Vision) 


This content refers to how we receive information from our everyday life has become a kind of common sense. We know and expect things to happen as the way they are. We know that it's going to rain when we hear sound of thunder, or how we think there's a horse from faraway when we see the farm house. Those are our knowledge that allows us to understand what we are experiencing without having to scrutinize every details. We can guess what in front of us just by see one part of it and we often consider something from its context or its surrounding.
Just like in a guessing game?

Semantic change

Semantic change, also known as semantic shift or semanticprogression describes the evolution of word usage — usually to the pointthat the modern meaning is radically different from the original usage. Indiachronic (or historical) linguistics, semantic change is a change in one ofthe meanings of a word. Every word has a variety of senses andconnotations, which can be added, removed, or altered over time, often to the extent that cognates across space and time have very different meanings. The study of semantic change can be seen as part of etymology,onomasiology, semasiology, and semantics.
