[Horse] > Disagree - you are in contact with your clothing via your senses. Again, not generally true. It is only in special cases (like when my shoes pinch), that I sense I am wearing clothing. In any case, I am in contact with my clothing in virtue of wearing it, whether or not I am sensing it at the moment. [Horse] > Your senses can be manipulated so that what you feel may be different > on different occasions even though you're in contact with the same clothing. This statement seems to undermine your position, since it suggests your senses are not a good indicator of reality. I guess what puzzles me is that it is so obvious that we are in direct contact with reality so much of the time & in so many ways, what is the motivation or advantage of denying it.
