Is there anything beyond human perception?
in Philosophy ·
Is there anything you believe simply doesn't exist?
Or perhaps it’s just that you aren't able to perceive it?
Or maybe it's a bit of both?
I suppose by even asking if something can be non-existent, you're implying that it's actually possible for something to NOT EXIST in this world (which sounds like a pretty wild claim 😁). In other words, you're leaving the door open to the idea that there might be things out there that are just beyond our sensory reach.
It seems logical, really—everything exists. Or rather, everything that you are aware of exists. Anything you don't know about, and that doesn't concern you or occupy your thoughts because it hasn't even crossed your mind... well, for all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist to you.
There are things that suddenly "become" part of our reality, and then there are things that have always been there, depending on how you look at it.
But what about the things we will never truly know or encounter? Who knows what might be happening all around us right now that we lack the necessary tools to actually detect. 😁
Do aliens exist? 😲
