Quote:Our senses are easy to fool, but our instruments with which we measure reality are not.
You skipped a step. Our senses are easy to fool, but the confusion is in the mind. Some advanced scientific instruments are impossible to fool. But their infallibility ends with themselves. As soon as I am looking at a ruler, and taking up the a priori sense experiences, it becomes just as fickle. I use the same eyes and mind and brain to observe the ruler, and my ability to be confused or wrong stands. Nothing we see and do is not interpretive.
If your gonna be skeptical, take it all the way.
I can doubt my senses, mind and view on reality.
Anything I do or see is filtered through my senses and my mind.
I can doubt anything I think or do...
