sense is an idea.
how can you think about it and communicate it to me if it isn't? There can't be a word without an idea for it to correspond to. Or a thought.

Your semantics are becoming confused a little here.
An idea is an abstract concept based on preception and is a fucntion of self-aware sentience.

Senseing is a base brian function interpreting stimulus.

You can have ideas and no senses and have senses and no ideas.

you're assuming the existence of brains again.
Ideas aren't always abstract. They can be concrete. In fact they are typically concrete.

The idea of sensing is an idea (truism). To connect it to things other than ideas is an assumption.

One can hardly have senses without ideas. One might have what could be called a "nerve impulse" and a corresponding reflex. I wouldn't call it a sense unless there was some awareness of it. But this is going off on a bit of a tangent.

I'm assuming sod all.
A sense IS merely the interpretation of a stimulus via an organ in the body. Again, you can sense but not form any ideas.

Why are you arguing for any sort of idea being concrete if you don't think there IS any form of reality?

I'm going to bed. I'm glad you had a good holiday and all. If you wan't to discuss any further gaz me.
