Polar Princess - Intuition

QUOTE OF THE DAY
‘GPSs blunt the way traditional Inuit carry land in their collective memories. The anthropologist Edmund Carpenter believes that Inuit perceive space more from auditory cues than from the visual and measured cues that we apply to geography. While Kabloona eyes pinpoint a place specifically within a space and next to a background, Inuit ears can perceive sound coming from any direction.
More precisely, Carpenter believes that Kabloona sensory traditions mirror the first sentence of Aristotle’s Metaphysics, telling us that sight, not sound, is “above all others.” Our traditions continue with the Bible’s “Seeing is believing” and on to modern physics, measuring light waves. Yet the parts of our brains that process sound or intuition are little used – unlike those of traditional Inuit.’
