Is "It feels right for me" a valid way to test something?

Replying to @Doc_Surge @chagmed
The feeling of righteousness and the feeling of wrongness are just that -- feelings. They are body sensations accompanied by a concept. Why trust one body sensation over another? Our nervous systems have no interest in feeling out the truth.

“Our nervous systems have no interest in feeling out the truth.” That’s a strong statement. If our nervous systems weren’t at least partially responsive the the “truth” of our environment, we would have died off a long time ago...

Well yeah, I meant this in relation to metaphysical truths, or those unrelated to our survival. Our nervous system is responsive to reality insofar as that helps us survive. So it will show us the truth if it helps us survive, and it will delude us if it helps us survive.

But two people can experience the same moment and their nervous systems react very differently. One person has PTSD, the other doesn't. The one a normal response to the circumstance, the other triggered. Same moment, different experience of reality.

Two people can never experience the same moment. A person with PTSD and a person without PTSD have different nervous systems. Hell, two people without PTSD have very different nervous systems.

2 religious beliefs. One is a system that believes in Karma, the other is not. Does that mean karma exists if it is part of the reality for one system and not the other? What does the other do with the concept of karma when it is not a part of their reality?
