I know, I don't want to get too personal here, but there will be lots of times I've been in social circumstances, and I think I'm pretty savvy about reading people, but I'll be with my wife, and she will say, after we've had a conversation with someone, Boy, did you notice how upset that person was about blah, blah, blah.

So there may be sex, gender differences that are going on, but also at the same time, it's not to say that I couldn't learn how to do that. So when we say people are very good at that, I think that's true, but we still have to epistemologically unpack everything that goes into what makes us good at being able to do that. I think that's going to be a very, very sophisticated story.

But then the other example, it takes us back to perceptual cases where you're talking about, are you looking at me or me looking at you, and we're also aware that we're in a room that there are other people in the room who are filling and so on. But getting right down to issues of, if I choose to focus right on one thing, then it is true that everything else Pales by comparison.

Yeah, that's right. And pales is metaphorical. So if we're going to try to then unpack the metaphor, I think we would say we focus and unfocus. And then we can give descriptors of what the state of unfocus is and what the state of focus is. And I would prefer using that language to the language of screen. Because screen really is something that is in the way. It's a thing itself.

That's another obstacle. So if there's a dressing screen between the two of us and I'm undressing for privacy, the whole idea of the screen is that it's blocking. So the metaphor is too simple. Sorry, that would be different from, and I think a better metaphor would be to say to filter. And I think sometimes our sensory apparatuses are engaging in filter.

They're just attending to some things and not attending to other things. But a filter is different from a screen. But also just to stay on this one issue here, the issue of focus and unfocus, I think it's not a filter either.

Okay, remind me what element of the tabernacle... I will, I will, I'll lay it out.

It's partly because... So, is this a metaphor for what?
