Smells, senses, science…

noses

It used to be thought that human noses could only detect around 10,000 smells, although many scientists thought that was probably a bit too low. A new study suggests that number is much higher–that humans can distinguish among 1 trillion different scents. (1)

Even though we may not be able to name them, the “study” tells us that we do sense them.

We like analyzing things too much.

From the sense of being in a forest, we went to 10,000 smells and now to 1,000,000,000,000 smells.
We are in a meta-logical era, where what “is” is determined not by experience, not by you, but by science.
They know how much you feel and how.
You don’t.
One does not exist.
Trust science.
