we are all computers.

“All human beings from birth onward live to the realm of sense more than to the Intellectual.”

The above was a quote said in class while discussing the Intellectual-Principle and how it is “wise without intermission and therefore beautiful of itself.” But my main point here is not to talk about the Intellectual-Principle ( I would if I thought I had a proper understanding of it) or about the sense (because I feel that everyone knows what the sense are and how to : feel, taste, see, hear, smell). My point in this blog is to discuss the accuracy of this quote. It is very much true that human beings are more in tuned with what is physically around us because those things are easy to understand. The things that are hard to understand, such as the intellectual, we tend to ignore because they intimidate us. They make us feel as if we are losing control of the situation. I believe that humans are more comfortable with the senses because they aren’t ‘lying to us’, ‘what we see is what we get’, and so on and so forth. Yet, what we don’t seem to understand is that everyone perceives things differently; this is why we have likes and dislikes. The senses, in a way, are not the most accurate. We cannot control our sense, but only perceive what they are telling us; we are just computers saving information onto our hard drives.
