if a man born blind, and able to distinguish by touch between a cube and a globe, were made to see, could he now tell by sight which was the cube and which the globe, before he touched them?

Of course.

What the fuck stupid shit is this.

God dammit Canada made me reply.

How would he know, if he had no prior sense of visualization or spacial awareness?

Yes he can and this has already been proved. Now stop embarrassing me

Yes actually, blind people can still imagine spacial shapes

He could see which shape has edges and which has not

You don't need eyes for spacial awareness

Yes.
Those born blind at birth dont lack spatial reasoning or proprioception.

>Cube has flat sides and edges with points
>Sphere has no sides nor edges with points

Golly gee I wonder if he could figure it out

Edges moron.

no

SPATIAL you fucking idiots are a diamond dozen I swear

He would instinctively know them by sight because allready he has recongnition of their forms.

Just as once you recongnize one chair you recognize all chairs because you have recognition of the form of a chair in the immaterial world of forms.

It's verry easy. Go read som Platonian metaphysics.

Do skip the whole transmigration of souls thing though, that's his one big pagan missconception.

A fucking leaf

Review Brah is a national treasure.

why the fuck is this on Sup Forums?

SAAAAGEEEEE

Is a tadpole a frog?

Or is he not?

Corners.

Allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.

Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake.

Spacial awareness is not synonymous with sight and uses a separate part of the brain.

It's already been established that they wouldn't be able to.
