I don't know anything, including what's "real"

[Mr._Graybeard]

Does this mean "reality" doesn't exist, or that we're unable to see it? Not at all. We sense it imperfectly, but well enough to pass along our genes.

I've read that one of the Leakeys speculated that Paleo man smelled so bad that predators didn't have a taste for them. Perhaps that's why we have a sense of smell that's less acute than other animals.

I knew some guys who did a canoe trip in Canada. They were advised not to wear deodorant. Apparently the human body odor alerts bears to stay away. Glad I didn't go on the trip.

Personally, I'm an adherent of visualizing your future. What you project can create it's own reality of happening. I have a dozen examples in my life, some of them with frightening detail. I used to think I was seeing my future but in fact I think I was creating it.

Laurel, obviously!

I can hear Laurel louder, but Yanny is whispered in the background.
