Which of the five human senses is the most deceiving.?

Question

sight, hear, taste, smell, touch

Answer 1

Vision is our most relied upon sense, but behavioral scientists and psychologists in any university can demonstrate how easily the eye is fooled so that it misjudges what is perceived, due to mental/emotional interference as well as the inadequacies of the mortal eye.

Have thought about this for some time, but not what is the most deceiving sense. Actually, we must rely on all the senses to get the true picture or complete information. Taste is very dependent on smell so to answer your question, the most deceptive sense is taste. While vision is easily fooled, it is the most reliable for gathering information quickly.

Answer 2

Sight

Answer 3

Sight. Everything that you see is just a reflection of light. Therefore everything around you is an illusion. Sight is the most deceiving out of all of the senses.

Answer 4

Sight definitely

Answer 5

It's not the senses that decieve so much as it is the interpretation of the data recieved through them.

Someone might glimpse a fleeting image of a person in their far peripheral vision and believe they have seen a spirit.

If I'm at work and I think I glimpse someone I know at the very edge of my vision, but when I look up and no one is there and remember that person is not working today anyway, I just dismiss it as my brain playing tricks on me, just as after talk about apples during online chat, I could almost smell freshly sliced apples.

Answer 6

Hear and taste.

Hear: People could give you the wrong impression on another party just by them talking with/against them. However, when you meet the latter, you could discover the opposite to what the former had said.

Taste: You can never know what's hiding in the food (like germs, bacteria, or maybe poison), even if its tastes really good.

Answer 7

Probably sight. Because we live in such a commercialized age we forget that while inner beauty lasts, outer beauty fades. Being lovely or handsome to look at does not mean an individual is a good person.

Answer 8

Sight.

Answer 9

My expensive, all of us long for this a minimum of maximum persons persons who're wakeful. I even have been needing "residing house" a place the place there's no longer something yet eternal peace interior. no count the place I even have lived I by no skill ought to sense "residing house" and did no longer particularly understand why or the place this sense grew to become into coming from till I wakened. house is peace interior; a place the place no you will harm or scare you. as long as you're a factor of the bodily residing in this earth airplane you will bump into the unexpected on a daily basis. I oftentimes ask myself this question, "Why do I swim up pass against the present battling for my existence?" the place is there to pass, what's there to do? those are the questions that wander away interior the mid-pass. i'm lonely too which has made me weary, bitter, unmotivated and unhappy. This journey to the different area is bitter/candy, yet i'm waiting to pass residing house every time...bodily and spiritually. awareness/awareness is drawing closer and we can be in communion with God and others. could you be crammed with peace to overflowing.

Answer 10

None of the senses are deceptive. The senses faithfully report to your brains what reality is. Your abstractions and knowledge may or may not adhere with reality and may prevent you from discovering the truth. If the evidence of the senses were an illusion, as some philosophers have asserted and some of us have parroted, you could not have any knowledge (zero), you could not form concepts such as friendship, property, love, justice, honesty, and so on (which is why non conceptual beings such as all the animals have no use for morality). Your senses tell you if someone is acting for or against your life, your property, and your values.

One who cannot be sure of what the senses report to one's brains is one who is unable to determine if a murder or a spelling contest is taking place; one who cannot tell if he is being insulted or praised; one who can't taste the difference between sugar and salt; or can't save his children in the night when one smells the smoke from a burning fire; or one who can't feel any difference between receiving a bullet in the chest or being kissed by one's lover. Such a person cannot even have the level of consciousness of an animal, not even of an insect because he would not have a brain to evaluate what his senses report. Such is the state of a brain-dead person or a rock.

The senses tell us exactly what reality is, so that we may live as humans. The sensory perception of a bee or a fish is designed to tell those animals how to survive in exactly the same reality as ours, except that their sensory apparatus is for THEIR survival not ours. Reality is the same for humans as for any other perceiving organisms. Evolution has shaped the sensory perception and neuron-system of each living being to serve the physical survival in a specialized manner. We are specialist at conceptualizing - no other being on earth has a brain like ours that allows them to learn math and send a rocket to the moon. And then again, our neuron-system is not specialized to detect flying food in pitch dark with a built-in sonar, as bats have! We are impressed by what natural selection has done for them. But if bats could have a slight amount of conceptual brain, they, too, would be impressed with us and our wondrous capability of reasoning!

Each physical living entity has developed its appropriate consciousness for survival. What tastes good to a bat or a mouse, does not typically taste good to humans. That is strictly a survival mechanism that changed over millions of years through adaptation. The food is the same, our senses tell us whether is good for us or not. Far from being deceptive, the senses ought to be used as the foundation for reasoning and building a non-contradictory philosophy which is the basis for science, technology, and human progress.
