- CuriouslyC 10y agoI directly experience the sensation of making choices. All the scientific data I have ever perceived has been through countless filters and transformations. I find it hard to muster faith in my perceptions of scientific data if I can't trust my perceptions of something much more raw and unfiltered.
- sjy 10y agoI directly experience dreams and optical illusions, too. Trusting your perception is basically the opposite of science.
- CuriouslyC 10y agoThat is going way too far. I would say science is the practice of "triangulating" reality by trying "project" our perceptions (which we assume are noisy) into a space where they are directly comparable - kind of like how you take multiple measurements to get a distribution, then move forward using the mean.
