You're looking right at them, but they don't yet have enough value. This is what Phædrus was talking about. Quality, value, creates the subjects and objects of the world. The facts do not exist until value has created them.

Then you've got to find some new clues, but before you can find them you've got to clear your head of old opinions.

It's dualistically called a ``discovery'' because of the presumption that it has an existence independent of anyone's awareness of it. When it comes along, it always has, at first, a low value.
