There's a specific word that describes light filtering through leaves, but I don't know what it is. Anyone know?

>To re-present means to show again, the object of representation isn't so important as how the representation happens
This isn't directly related but the problem I have with seeing Art as representation is that it seems to ignore the fact that such an act contributes nothing to Art; perception is already a creative act as necessitated by the unique human viewpoint, to say of this that it must be representative is redundant and demands of the artist that he make a creative act of the already creative act of perceiving.

>Technical Mastery can be used for anything
As far as I am concerned either Technical Mastery, like any other human activity conceivable, either contributes to human flourishing or detracts from it. Same goes for ideologies, although not so readily or without a billion caveats.

>I put extreme importance on how it's used
Again, I would say you can it can either be used for flourishing or to detract from it

>Superiority and Inferiority are values based purely on position
Yes, the position of the strong and the weak.

>minority position
To say of something that it is a minority is simply an underhanded way of demanding more favourable power relations for a certain group. One could just as easily say "group that does not have as many numbers as the bigger group nor the strength to become the dominant group" instead of "minority" but one doesn't because one is asserting, consciously or unconsciously, certain power relations.

>It would support the status quo and back repression
Same goes for both those terms; you can just as easily describe status quo as the continued dominance of a higher power, and you can describe repression as the inability of some group to overcome a more dominant power. All thoroughly ideological terms on the part of the resentful and inferior who would not need such terms in the first place if they were strong.
