Left to its own devices, the brain will keep this feeling dormant until truly warranted by a real-life flesh-and-blood person. ↗

Even scientific knowledge, if there is anything to it, is not a random observation of random objects; for the critical objectivity of significant knowledge is attained as a practice only philosophically in inner action. ↗
