Page 409 - America's Failure to Perceive the PKK

thousands of engineers and experts who have been working on this
endeavor, no sound has yet been obtained that has the same sharp-
ness and clarity as the sound perceived by the ear. Think of the high-
est-quality hi-fi systems produced by the largest company in the
music industry. Even in these devices, when sound is recorded some
of it is lost; or when you turn on a hi-fi you always hear a hissing
sound before the music starts. However, the sounds that are the prod-
ucts of the human body's technology are extremely sharp and clear. A
human ear never perceives a sound accompanied by a hissing sound
or with atmospherics as does a hi-fi; rather, it perceives sound exact-
ly as it is, sharp and clear. This is the way it has been since the cre-
ation of man.
So far, no man-made visual or recording apparatus has been as
sensitive and successful in perceiving sensory data as are the eye and
the ear. However, as far as seeing and hearing are concerned, a far
greater truth lies beyond all this.

Compared to cameras and sound
recording machines, the eye and ear
are much more complex, much more
successful and possess far superior
designs to these products of high
technology.
