art--well good.

just to be clear, what i was trying to say above is that the question of data limitation at the perceptual level is quite complex analytically--i wanted to indicate where i think the central complexity lay--which is in generating even a descriptive account of the mechanism that limits. repression is a problematic term, because it would be positioned in a strange space as both part of the functioning of consciousness and outside it, as a defense mechanism.

in the mass media thread, things unfolded as though the problem was solved in advance---but things are not so simple, i think.

the other part of the post is more critical, frankly--there is a basic disagreement that i would be pleased to talk about concerning the explanatory and political power of reverting to denunciation of the media to think about what is happening around us now.

i thought about posting to the thread on media, but i figured that my viewpoint was not symmetrical enough with the consensus on the thread to warrant posting there. maybe i was wrong in that?
