Actually that's not quite what I said.

Also unlike you I'm not confortable with letting my desires decide things. That's not to say that I don't have them (I am still human after all), just that I block them out. And trust me when I say that's not as hard as people think (and I'd know since I have experience at it). A lot of people let their emotions rule them and don't give themselves enough control over who they are. I do not. That is because I long ago learnt that we have full control over who we are. Not our chemicals or emotions. They are given too much power, power they don't have. They are just influencers, not deciders. Due to my realisation of that I am capable of things most people are not capable of, such as blocking out my desires when I try to figure things out. Instead I use only rational thinking and evidence.

As for Plato, what he says makes no sense at all. The reason creatures evolved our senses was so that we could better idea of reality than their evolutionary relatives could (though they still had other things that worked like sense some of our they weren't as good). Plato and Aristotle are responsible for destroying the minds of many people, especially in Europe, even in modern times.
