A few punctuation details may have been a little off; if you haven't sorted them out by the time I'm back, I can look into that stuff further.If you've found some errors I would appreciate some help correcting them. From a scientific standpoint I suppose sensory data sort of retrogrades when we begin to interpret and even as our imagination might begin to warp objective reality. However, Hume wrote that "science should be a slave to the passions" so we might err from percieving what is actually occuring in reality (many would define reality in different ways) but the meanings we hold also provide comfort and joy to the experience of living a life. I thank you for reading my post.
The first time I read it, I read the last line:
It’s another faculty that destroys sensory data into meaning.
I liked that, but that's not what it says.
I like it anyway. And'll see what happens whan I get back.
