Evolution can never halt, but when you limit it too human's we enter a type of 'zeno's paradox'. . Exactly... 😉

Derrens experiment is reproducible and, as I said, is very real for the subject. What about a sense of rhythm or people with Synesthesia? Besides, what makes you think you wouldn't feel the same as Derrens subject? And I thought you were questioning what is and isn't a sense...

Are there though? 1/ to make sense of the world. 2/ to stand upright. Does it though? 1/ to make your life suferable. 2/ to make the prospect of your death, something to avoid/accept, depending on the context and phrasing. Unless we have these silly discussions and decide what to call it, AI will slip by on the slippery slope of apathy. Besides, AI should get the binary nature of the post. How could you tell? 😉

Indeed, but then you aren't an Olympian of indeterminate sex... Unless you're flicking the correct part's... 🧐

Careful, you're showing your bias Knickers...

And we're back to the start. 😣 Every Olympian has a physical advantage, in a very narrow window of opportunity; mine was wanking, I ripped the head off that thing... 😉 But don't worry, I tucked the rest in and made a beautiful job of it, I'm so proud...

What's the colour of their skin got to do with it? It's just a relection of our thread, the defence coming up with excuse after excuse to do nothing, or at least the bare minimum; the U.S. Constitution is colorblind, is a doozey. 🙄 When all we keep saying is, let's at least "reduce entrenched inequalities".

If we get all solipsist, then everything could be an illusion. The subject of his experiment (a PhD student) is both awake and sceptical and she past a previous test of suggestion, that gave everyone else the illusion of a sense of being watched, so not a frightened little boy that's struggling to stay awake. She was overwhelmed by a sense of awe, that was very real for her, he explained how he did it and it wasn't tapping into a primal fear. What I think he's saying is that this sense of awe/god/whatever (you want to call it) is hardwired into the system, which obviously has evolved to our advantage. My point is, if it's hardwired then it must be a sense, of some sort.

Depends on how reactive you are...

He got over it...

Nope, a true GOP American, thinks only about saving their money... Everyone, has to think about money or the economy goes tits-up... Do you want me to explain 'ozymandias' too?

That fact doesn't mitigate the vast profits the US and Europe made on the back of the black-on-black slavers, the significant historical evidence is, Africa is still poor despite being the inventors of the trade. It doesn't matter how you dress the argument, it's still a Barbie; it's just an excuse to not put your hand in your pocket; like the one many people use to not give the change in their pocket to a beggar: They'll just spend it on booze; so what? Most one of them made more money than I do; so what? But the best excuse of all, I don't have any cash, because I'm damn sure you don't have a card reader...

Yet in one of Derren Brown's experiment's, he successfully made an atheist PhD student believe in god, because we're hard wired to believe in an ethereal something, and since it's hard wired in us it has to be considered as a human sense, of some description.

Perhaps you're lacking a sense of... 😉 But for balance to work, we have to be in a gravitational field but not falling, it doesn't need to work when we are falling, so it's just a latent sense in that sense but still a sense, if that makes sense.

The only thing complex about this is, the ingredients of the word salad?

Indeed, I doubt you'd stand for that...

Is that a sense we have in common, like a sense of humour?

What sense do you use for that???

No shit Sherlock, but I am used to standing up... How do you know? I've been fooled before, by a train leaving the station...

How do you know you don't? It's certainly on the cusp, but there is an argument for a sense of awe... Yes it is, it helps us to stand up for more than a few seconds...

This is an interesting watch, as regards the topic.

No, I'd prefer to have a coach that 'gives out boxes', even to the kid's he doesn't like. That's the point.

Balance.

Well, he did have the only working tank in Russia...

Why would you think that? His MO is from weakness... He's obviously bluffing...
