Ep. 76: What is Sensation? (Part II)

In this episode, Anthony and Giuseppe continue their conversation about sensation, this time starting by focusing on parosmia -- an abnormality in the sense of smell -- that Anthony now experiences chronically as a result of having COVID in the past. What exactly happened? What did things smell like before and after COVID? What scents changed the most? What do they smell like now? How do these changes affect memory and the experience of reality in general? Can there be equivalent changes with other senses? What does the answer to this question tell us about type-differences between the senses? What does it tell us about sensation more broadly?
