Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

In the book, there is a certain society that keeps slaves, and the members of that society are trained and conditioned to not acknowledge the presence of the slaves, to the point where they no longer "see" them. Their minds simply do not register the presence of another person.

There is a rather powerful scene, where one of these society members meets the group of protagonists, and they describe his eyes as looking glazed over and faraway. The first and only thing he asks them is, "Do I see you?" and once he learns that they are on his societal level, he is able to acknowledge their existence.

It's not exactly the same for me, but that's where I learned the technique from.

Might I ask why, though? It's not really making sense to me. Do you just not acknowledge the existence of people who aren't like you? I'm not sure how you'd possibly be able to make this work in present day society...

It's more like...I find myself not acknowledging other people unless I have a reason to. I go for a walk and pass a dozen people along the way, but I don't "see" a single one of them because I have no incentive to acknowledge them.

At the time, I figured that putting all this stuff on the secret would just make it cluttered and tl;dr, but I guess maybe I ought to have been more thorough about explaining it. Or maybe it's just a confusing secret in general, I don't know.

*laughs* It sounds like any city dweller passing a homeless person in the street. I'm surprised the OP needed to read a book to learn how to do that.

Aha, yeah. I don't really get it still. Then again, I grew up and live in New York City, so I do the same just because it's in my nature.
