Not really that related but this comic:
Got me thinking how the act of perceiving a blue colour wave length as red or green because it is an apple is a common way to show that our ability to perceive is an action.
The act of intentionality in this case is the drive to see things as similar, our perceptual system wants to keep the perception of apples consistent and to do so would require the applying of some act, some instruction or rule in order to do so. From this we can state that to perceive an apple, in the very least, requires some cognitive act in order for it to have this consistency. From this most would want to go from distinguishing mind driven content to world driven. But instead, I want to think in terms of different acts that we perform, some more consistent with the world around us than others.
Anyway, it seems the same problem is still floating around in my head.
