I do believe in it to a point, not to predicting the future. After having 2 business ventures and dealing with so many people/the public I feel I have had that feeling many times. I also believe in omens and visions and that may be because I once lived in a haunted house. I know a lot will laugh but many others as well as my self know it was true. Because of my beliefs I now know the year I will die in, not the month but the year. And I’m marking things off my bucket list as I get them done.
I see dead people
For those interested and @DaringSprinter humans have the highest brain to body ratio by mass. While orcas (killer whales) have a more gyrated brain (double the complex connections) compared to humans. … the video below after 18:41 minutes explains better …
We have more than 5 (or 6) senses already.
@JohnR1972: There are more than "5 common physical senses" for your friends' subconscious minds to be getting information from.
The article I linked in my first comment lists 18: sight, taste, touch, pressure, itch, thermoception, sound, smell, proprioception, tension sensors, nociception, equilibrioceprion, stretch receptors, chemo receptors, thirst, hunger, magnetoreception, and time. It also explains all these. You can click this sentence to read the article.
@HUGGGGGG: To quote the first article I linked in my response to you:
"Without a doubt, the human trait that sets us farthest apart from the animal kingdom is our extraordinary brain. One of the human brain's most prized regions is the overdeveloped cerebral cortex; it represents over 80% of our brain mass and is thought to contain 100 billion neurons, according to a 2009 study in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. The cerebral cortex is associated with complex, higher thinking, such as decision-making, executive control, emotional regulation and language. Even though the human brain makes up about 2% of body weight, it consumes more than 25% of our body's overall energy, a 2018 study in the Journal of Human Evolution reported. "Humans don't have the largest brains in the world—those belong to sperm whales. Yet the human brain, weighing only about 3 pounds (1.3 kilograms) in adults, gives us the ability to reason and think on our feet beyond the capabilities of the rest of the animal kingdom."

And while I'm quoting stuff (sorry this comment's so long, everybody else!) here's a quote from the second article I linked in my response to you.
"The whale neocortex is thicker than that of other mammals and roughly equal to that of humans (2.63 mm). However, the layered structure of the whale neocortex is known to be simpler than that of humans and most other mammals. In particular, whales lack cortical layer IV, and thus have five neocortical layers to humankind's six. This means that the wiring of connections into and out of the neocortex is much different in whales than in other mammals. The researchers' cellular census revealed that the total number of neocortical neurons in the Minke whale was 12.8 billion. This is 13 times that of the rhesus monkey and 500 times more than rats, but only 2/3 that of the human neocortex."
So, to repeat my earlier response:
You assume correctly... assuming you're also taking proportions, neocortical development, and so on into account.
@HUGGGGGG: Anyway. What sets humans apart (insofar as humans are set apart) is physical. Nothing to do with "a ‘sense’ there is something more that we don’t know," to quote you.
Love the discussion and how civil everyone is keeping it! Thanks!
@DaringSprinter thanks for this, I only remembered to send you where I heard it from….I now see the comment is changed perhaps you added the link some time after your first comment after reading up. Point is whales are not far from humans as i mentioned in the first comment and this article you share says the same (re 2/3 of humans and 6th layer). So yes, humans have bigger brains but whales are not far. Not to mention the gyration index. Let’s make it simpler, dogs and cats are no where close to humans or whales but pets are known to have a sense of the unseen… so brainpower may set us apart but is no way an indicator of having a sense of the unseen… another way of explanation maybe that even with a tiny brain a creature can have a sense to interpret the unseen or react to it in its own way… Do you have any pets?
@HUGGGGGG: I added the second link 48 minutes after. The first link was there the whole time.
Human, incidentally, aren't unique in having "a sense of the unseen." There are lots of senses that aren't sight. Personally, I've never seen the smell of baking bread or the sound of a birdcall—but I've sensed these unseen things all the same.
You seem to want physical beings to have some kind of non-physical sense. There is no evidence of such a thing.
I have a friend where if I walk into a very crowded room, I can tell if she is there. If I scan the room and I can find her. She has always wondered how I can do that and I have no explanation. I’ve told her it’s PFM. Pure Fu*king Magic. It only happens with her.
I have ESPN so …😂
The sixth sense is just intuition, and intuition are the signals that you receive from your subconscious intelligence when your subconscious detect something important for you.
@WiseGent 💯
@DaringSprinter - thank you for the link to the 18 senses article in your first post. I was traveling home from Colorado on Wednesday and Thursday so I just now read that article. Very interesting.
