Is water really tasteless and air odourless or is it just brains and bodies filtering it out
Discussion
Water has taste; water sellers have to make sure it has a certain mineral content or it will taste weird like distilled water, which is actually pure.
Air usually has some odor that depends on whatโs happening around you.
I definitely think we tune these things out and have a concept of neutral which is not actually neutral.
I meant "pure" air and water, as much as that's possible
Our brains just tend to filter them out as โneutralโ because theyโre so familiar and essential to survival.
This is what I think too. If it wasn't filtered the constant sensation would probably make us go crazy ๐
I think it depends where you are.
Some toxic high pollution cities would taste different if you more what Iโm saying
Sad but true. I think after living a while there brain adapts though and filters that, too. Not saying that's a good thing
