How well do we understand thought and our empirical senses?

Question

Look at something! and try to describe it with out your senses.
You can think about how you think. You can think about how you think about thinking. But i think no matter how far you go you cant
escape your perspective.
p.s.
I am a very confused person.

Answer 1

Empirical senses cannot lie; therefore we understand them well.
Perceptions are perceptions OF those senses, not the senses themselves. The perception of a sensation can be incorrect, but only when the epistemology that devises means of identifying the perception for what it is--is wrong.
It's easy for epistemology to be wrong. There are 60 ways for it to be wrong and only 12 for it to be possibly right. (Referencing syllogistic logic.)
Your "perspective" is what you come to after your epistemological faculty is done with its identification of the perception.

Answer 2

You are confused as you are not accepting mind as a sense. We have six senses and not five. As eyes perceive the form of an object and the ears sound. In the same way mind perceives the purpose of the thing. Suppose you see a cup. Your eyes will show you the form of it being round and hollow. Your mind will Tell you the purpose of it that it can be used to drink some liquid from.

Answer 3

Understanding our thoughts and our empirical senses is not understood well enough as far as I'm concerned. There is a hell of a lot more to learn.

Answer 4

Calm down. It isn't that big of a deal. Your perspective matters. Being able to admit your are confused is priceless.
