The idea of knowing ourselves is a joke. Just maaybe we can feel into more of it. Knowing is a losing game (but may be still worth playing).

It’s not just that they can’t speak. Babies themselves don’t know why they’re crying. Is it because they’re hungry, or something else? So it is with adults.

To “feel what they are feeling” is not so unreasonable. Because we’re only ever integrating many micro-feature clues into an image and sensorium of the whole.

Especially in sex. The bodies can merge together, and become one sensorium. Easier even in solo sex.

One reconstruction happens to center around my body and me. The other around yours, or a third party. We don’t need as many signals as we usually probabilistically sample a reasonable, full reconstruction. https://t.co/GSSSQkIXNh
