The Impossibility of Unlimited Senses

1. Everything is what it is, and is therefore limited
2. The senses exist (they are)
3. The senses are limited

No type of sense perception can register everything. A is A—and any perceptual apparatus is limited. By virtue of being able directly to discriminate one aspect of reality, a consciousness cannot discriminate some other aspect that would require a different kind of sense organs. Whatever facts the senses do register, however, are facts. And these facts are what lead a mind eventually to the rest of its knowledge.¹
