Everything that we see is moderated through the scientific image. Even if you look at a picture of a crystal, crystallographic picture of some atoms in a solid, you're not looking directly at the atoms. So i think the manifest image actually plays an important role in how we interpret the world. We're constantly comparing the parts and features of our best scientific practice to the manifest image.
Welcome to the March 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
