Edited: To say I like other people's lazy eye theories because...
In general, I sometimes think they're looking for adaptive traits such as the ability to change/morph or that they're looking for just the opposite. The theme keeps popping up in differant ways. (If your interested, Examples of Change below)
However, I don't know how you would determine any adaptive traits at birth. I always hear the average infant is pretty adaptive from the get-go (shrugs), so it seems like there would have to be some kind of specific physical test.. blood work or specific gene test to determine if the infants had the potential to change/alter their mind-body chemistry. Maybe, some kind of weakness like the lazy left eye? Bree was what..3 months old at the time when they identified the problem? The very fact that Bree was able to physically adjust/correct/change her vision and metaphorically her perspective at 4 yr old, could be what qualified her for the ceremony.
Quick Observations:
- Jonas: I haven't gone back to check Jonas's other vids, but if you go frame by frame in the foosball vid... he has a seriously dark and freaky left eye (the viewers left). It was around the time he was talking about loving his foosball table. Somebody's perspective is off.. hehe
- Gemma: Her hair often has a tendancy to cover her left eye. Haven't checked for freaky eye moments.
- Bree: To be fair, I think I caught Bree with a freaky eye in one vid. Might've been the video where Daniel and Bree hit the road..(tries to remember)... I think when Bree was sitting in front of the tree and Daniel was yelling at her.
Examples of Change:
The lazy eye trick. Physically adapting, but Bree also mentions seeing things from a differant perspective. Change.
The Proving Science Wrong vid about domesticated animals. Animals that were once wild now domesticated. Change.
Nut and allergies. Almonds are naturally poisonous (cyanide gas) until we domesticated them by growing the mutant non-poisonous kind. Anyhow, some people grow out of whatever allergies they have and some develop them. Change.
Salt. K, I dunno about salt, but Gemma talks about difficult life changes and eating Thai food for the first time and it was salty. Change.
Evironment. Bree has gone from living a sterile ..maybe all natural(depending how you look at it) and domesticated life to being thrust out into the big bad world dirty world. Will she thrive and adapt? Change.
Ceremony.
- The initiation begins around puberty. The time when the body starts changing physically, perspective changes (teen rebelion), and other people's deadly bacterial spit doesn't seem so dirty anymore. (wiggles eyebrows) Change.
- They force a diet and inject stuff into the body to what end? No clue, but it seems like it could be literal and symbolic of changes her mind and body are going through.
- Sunlight, Simple/Complex Sugars, glucose and Epogen (all potential forms of energy). I'm throwing that in ...just cuz.
