Week 6- PHILOSOPHY FILMS: A Glorious Piece of Meat

I like the film how it takes about the eye not doing a whole lot that it mainly decivies it self more than it does good for the body. The eye can change the way that you look at things and transcend things. This film was interesting because it went back to the theory that you don't really know anything or that how can you be sure of anything. It was basically saying that how do we or how are we able to know about these neurons, when we are really not that sure of them. What I find different is that the human eye tends to screw the human brain more that you think. Take for instance if you are driving in a car you believe or think that you are driving slower than you are really going. Well you can say because you do not have any reference points but your eye tells you that you have more reaction time than you really have. Or if you look at an airplane that is just lifting off it looks like it is going slower than it is going when in reality it is going close to 500 mph.
