Appreciate that too. When I have time today I'll take the plunge.
Any fact resolved discussion that uses feelings I either end or walk away from. If someone is determined to prove their god, I simply say: "I'll engage in this, if you can refrain from using feelings. None of your responses can use any term like that. You cannot say 'I feel it deeply.'" It's may get a "but let me...". Nope, no feelings. They walk away.
You want to tell me why you used a minor chord and it includes feelings, that's perfectly ok. Flat Earth, god, ufos, Rothschilds, those are not feelings. And never go past a sentence.
Also, not just senses, then memory as well. Humans have one of the most fallable interpretations of flawed data input possible... inherently corrupt recall. Memories are reassembled each time they are recalled and they get details added or lost based on the context (feeling) the recall. I've got a "highly detailed personal memory" and even I know and can watch the process pick and choose details based on context of the recall.
Annnnddddd.... the memory is not even stored as a whole time slice. It is stored with Major Fact/incident and then a host of meta tags. This is done so that the brain can conserve data. EG: 10yrs old, grandparents house, winter, just me, grandmother, and 1st cousin Gary. There, that's a pool of probabilities I can pull from vs. recording all that.
Annndddd.... it's stored after the buffer (short term) decides if it is worth storing. If Yes then it is filed based on secondary emotional tags. Not fact, emotional chemical response.
It is astonishing that humans ever got a damn thing done and were able to learn anything at all. Meat sacks hell bent on believing their emotional fog is the physical reality they inhabit. Funny enough, on the quantum level, that world does respond to our personal POV.

This is meandering away from the original topic - @bit101, are you still interested in this, or should we untag you? @retech “Flat Earth, god, ufos, Rothschilds, those are not feelings.” No indeed! They’re absolutely not. I’m autistic, and I’ll probably never get how a discussion that from my perspective is totally about facts can be mostly about social information and status for most other human animals around me. Winning or bonding.🤷 Strange! 1/2
