No kidding. Although he looks pretty much the same now eh?(add beard)

A child's need to understand, to place themselves in the world. Handling, sorting, mimicking, and determined to be part of the big picture. To see and feel it all. But since...

Every visible is invisible, that perception is imperception, that consciousness has a "puntum caetum" that to see is always to see more than one sees. It is invisibility itself that involves an invisibility. (Ponty)

Understaning is misunderstanding.
