Optical illusions
In the SD
Hello Rabbi Michi,
I saw a video that, after presenting many optical illusions (of the senses) and then showing how wrong we have been and continue to be wrong about them, claims that the reasonable conclusion is not to trust our senses at all. Rather, “reality” is like Descartes’ demon ~ such idealism ~.
The rabbi certainly thinks that this is not the reasonable conclusion, and so do I intuitively feel, but why? This is not exactly ordinary skepticism without any real reason, there are dozens of examples here in which we fail in succession second after second. And we don’t always even realize that we were wrong until it is pointed out to us.
