Fish will be the last to know water
What is Mr. Reggio saying? Can 'posited' also be used in place of 'premised'?
"I think Einstein said that ‘fish will be the last to know water.' My film is premised on the idea, the tragic feeling, that humans will be the last to know Technology. That's technology with a big T, not all the gadgets that we call technology, but Technology as the very terra firma." Godfrey Reggio

"Premised on" means "based on" . Posit means to propose or assume, so it does not fit the same meaning.
