For 200,000 years our senses have deceived us into thinking that the Sun went round the Earth.
For 200,000 years our senses deceived us by not seeing the germs that caused disease, and so we were deceived into thinking disease was caused by demons. Gosh, even Jesus cast out demons.
For 200,000 years our senses have deceived us in almost any field we can think of, from Physics to Astronomy, from Power Politics to Economics, from Genetics to the Origin of Species.
In the Enlightenment we learnt that our senses are unreliable in any sphere except the sphere immediately surrounding us, such as the time our morning bus arrives.
But still after the Enlightenment of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, we still trust our senses in nineteenth century racism, in astrology, in mbti, and in all the pseudo sciences and New Age practices and beliefs.
Just read the posts on Central and we see our minds are still conditioned by 200,000 years of superstition, and see, that as far as Central is concerned, the Enlightenment may as well not have occurred.
