Had my first binge in what seems like forever. As an ex-alcoholic you can never be too careful but yesh. I was listening to stairway to heaven while on this binge and it got me wondering about sensory perception.
If my thoughts and my senses can be distorted by something as small as a few drinks then it makes me wonder about how much we can rely on our senses. I know I know, easily countered but still a topic of interest.
So I thought I'd start a thread on it. So, lets cover the arguments and points for and against using the senses to discern reality.
I think it will make for an entertaining topic, don't you?
