Outfeel

Machines can outfeel a Helen Keller, out-taste and out-smell the best wine and perfume testers; they can discern pitch more unerringly than Stokowsky, and finer color hues than Rafael.

Touchy-feely freakishness. "Navel watching and solipsism." And a clumsy one-upmanship in which each sympathiser attempts to prove that "I can outfeel any person in this movement." Whoever sobs longest and loudest to a Mozart quintet, it sometimes seems, gains the presidency of the Humanistic Society.
