At 4 in the morning
Little Anecdote
Hearing music in the morning, but it wasn’t really
there. It was confusing, and it was really weird, but in
a cool way. I just thought you all should know that.
Knowledge Issue
To what extent is our sense of hearing a reliable way
of knowing?
The YES Camp
First we shall explore the reasons people say yes!
Pragmatic Theory
We use hearing everyday in communication with
people and it seems to work out just fine. If it works,
it is TRUE!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!
Emotion and Musik
Has a song every brought you to tears? Ever been in a
conversation that enraged you? Could you imagine
being deaf? Is this all bullsh*t?
We are very attached to our sense of hearing and life
without it would be hard. (imagine hearing ears dogs
for the deaf)
Anywhoozle, my strong emotion in what I hear tells
me its true.
Instinct
Hearing is connected with instinct in humans and
almost all the animals. We hear a sudden sound and
we are startled. It is a form of protection that evolved
in us. The deaf humans couldn’t pass on their deaf
traits, because they kept being eaten by dinosaurs
they couldn’t hear.
Logic and SCIENCE!!!!11!
Its scientifically proven that we can hear! Sound is
vibrations of air that are picked up in our eardrum
and it transmitted from to our brains with magically
nerves in the inner ear.
The No Camp
I wouldn’t trust my life on what I hear………
Experience
Ever hear something that was not there?
Ever think some one said something else and the
misunderstanding led to trouble?
Ever play the game telephone?

Then you may not believe your own ears! XD


Fear
Sounds can be scary!
Hearing something that not there.
Noises in your house in the middle of the night
If it troubles us so much, when there is no threat,
should we trust hearing.
The return of Logic and Science
Its scientifically proven that you can loose your
hearing!!!! Yay! In the age of the iPod and old people,
hearing loss is increasing. There may be a multitude
of sound that you wont be able to hear, because you
played your slipknot music too loud on your iPod.
People can Lie
For example, the ancedote at the beginning of this
AMAZING presentation was not even my own story. I
think it was one Ms. Davey told to the class. But I’m
not completely sure, because hearing is unreliable.
Language
What good is hearing, if everyone around you talked
in Swedish? Language can be a way of knowing, but
it can also be a way of not knowing? That probably
doesn’t make sense.
Synthesis
For all the lazy ppl who don’t pick a side….
Yea hearing is great all the time but its generally good
I enjoy hearing, even if it is not always true.
Yes ppl can lie, but they can also tell the truth, or not
say anything at all.
Hearing loss is bad, but stem cells will cure it in 10
years, why worry?
THE END
IM SORRY I PUT YOU THROUGH THIS, BLAME MY
MATH INTERNAL ASSESMENT!
Works Cited
To what extent do I even need this slide?
How do I know if a work is cited?
If no one like works cited, why do we do them?
Discussion TIME!
To what extent should we trust hearing?
Are there better ways of knowing?
Would your rather be deaf, blind, or dead?
Are iPods worth the damage the do to your ears?
Can you make a mathematical model to a heavy duty
freight mining elevator?
THE SUPER END
IM DONE!
Peace out homeskillets!!!!!!
