How do we know Feelers feel anything real? What is "feeling" anyway? It's a very complex category, isn't it?

How can we really know that we or anyone else genuinely feel anything, and don't just believe that we do? That's the question.

This question is meaningless, from a rational point of view.
(That's not a criticism, I simply mean there is no way to answer it. It's like asking, "How do I know that you and everyone else in the world is not just a figment of my imagination, and I'm imagining this conversation and the rest of reality around me as we speak?" It can't be answered through any rational process.)
