Least Trustworthy Sense.

Examining both the podcast and reading I conclude that the least trustworthy sense out of the five is the ears and here’s why. Our ears and our minds can do so many things compared with our eyes which could only see certain colors, and it depends on how our eyes are built. On the podcast they went in depth with the way our eyes were formed and explained experiments with monkeys, and how we can change the way they see color. From before the eye injections and after they began to see the color red. Something new to them and they were amazed about it. Also NPR found out that some rare women can see colors that can’t be explained with the normal colors. They asked the woman about what did she see when she looked at the sky. She said “blue with spots of pink and light red around the clouds. So our eyes can’t see every color, and we already know it based on the way our eyes are compared to a butterfly as the butterfly can’t see all kinds of colors in the spectrum. So because our vision is depends on our eye structure it doesn’t lie to us but it’s in our ability to listen is where we misinterpret things. Now for I believe that everyone listens to things differently and in the short story How We Listen. We can interpret things so differently in single conversations. We tend to listen to what we want to know and ignore what we don’t want. Copland explains it in three planes the sensuous the expresses and the sherry musical plane. Because it based on our own personally and how things apply to us and if we are in denial of things that we don’t want to believe in. he give the example of listening to music and some example jus the sheer pleaser of the notes and rhymes and nothing else about the lyrics it’s the playing of background music all the time type of people. Now the way music has a meaning and it is expressed to the type of people that understand the purpose of the song and how it applies in their lives. Last we have the folks that listen and it brings back old times and memories of the past. The music can paint a picture for people. These examples show that three people can listen to the same song and have completely different meanings of that song. So that said I believe that out of the five senses the least trustworthy is hearing.
