After listening to the podcast "Colors" and reading "How We Listen" by Aaron Copland, I believe that our least reliable sense is our eyesight or seeing. It's not trustworthy, the little girl that didn't know the sky was blue until she was introduced to the color believed that the sky was white for the longest. Also the fact that there are so many more species that can see more colors than us gets me to believe that we only see a fraction of the world for what it really is. Imagine have 16 receptors like the mantis shrimp or even just 2 more than we have now, we would see the world in a whole new different way, and it would open us up to an entirely new world.
The most reliable of the five senses we have, is the sense of hearing. This sense just needs to be trained or it needs to flourish, for example a blind person can't see, but his sense of hearing is phenomenal they don't need to see their hearing is there vision. They develop their hearing to a stage that they hear things an average human being wouldn't be able to hear. We all have different levels of hearing if tuned we would be very extraordinary human beings, we all hear things differently, but this sense is the most reliable.
