There is no such un-biased 'seeing'. All observation is, after all, theory-laden. But one can of course strive for objectivity. (Which really means, in practice, that no belief or 'view' is sacred: least of all one's own. As Hitch put it: 'Question everything.')https://twitter.com/G_S_Bhogal/status/986350983730073602 …

It may seem that way. But, really, you have cultivated a more sophisticated set of expectations. Expectation _is_ perception. It's just that some 'expectations' (world-models) are a less-wrong, more nuanced, more explanatorially (sp?) rich fit with the world than others.

Right. There are layers to expectation. And these layers can be stripped away (e.g. a dentist can be viewed as a dentist, or a human, or a mammal, or a system of cells, or a system of atoms, etc). Layers can also be added, if you habitually search for things in what you see.
