    Why would you filter that? If your friend is stinky you should tell them so they can go get unstinky. I won’t judge you unless it’s a constant problem.

      Humans emit a low level constant smell that we are nose blind to. Vulcans can’t become nose blind. To constantly point that out would be rude.

        Yeah, but Spock uses something to dampen his sense of smell so if he’s commenting then Jimbo must be pretty ripe.

        Vulcans spend their whole life learning to detach their physical state from their mental.

        Vulcans, can’t learn to stop smelling something.

          I can detach my mind from the tickle compulsion. That doesn’t mean I can’t feel the fingers trying to tickle me.

          Humans don’t learn to stop smelling, our brain automatically filters it out. Once you’re used to a smell you are unable to perceive it. Vulcan minds don’t do that, they have to actively disengage from the sensation.
