Totally. the image of reality being locked in our skull is haunting

Humanity is only a conception. The power to redefine what it means to be human is so limitless!

# data[].attributes.body
It's amazing how humans are learning how to overcome our biology

# data[].attributes.body
It's amazing that people are discovering things like this. I've never thought of a brain as just receiving info and it is flexible in how it gets it.

# data[].attributes.body
a temporary (and sometimes permanent) loss of hearing can lead to extreme confusion

# data[].attributes.body
If new senses are added to a person through technology or genetic modification could there be negative side effects?

# data[].attributes.body
I think perceiving reality as it truly is is the next dimension. Everytthing we see is an illusion created by our brains given delayed sight sound coordination, thus reality has already happened when we experience it. So I have read. So what is happening in that space between reality as it happened and reality as we perceive it.

its like the high pitched crowd dispersion weapons

# data[].attributes.body
OOOO @anon can this become a weapon? temporary loss of senses?

# data[].attributes.body
What if this same idea was applied to smell, and deaf people were "fed" different scents in response to audio?

# data[].attributes.body
And if so, what can we consider the fourth dimension? Time? Space? we can use external instruments to measure both of these, and we have an internal clock and depth perception, but can we enhance these to perceive fully a 4th dimension?

# data[].attributes.body
what if things like this become militarized who will be the one to limit such expansions

# data[].attributes.body
will this lead to sensing the fourth dimension without having to use separate instruments?

would you rather have to eat only dry oatmeal your entire life AND be able to see music in color, or just be normal boring ole ramsey

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what the ethical implications of sensory addition are

# data[].attributes.body
@Ramsey I love that way of thinking about it

# data[].attributes.body
its like a sketchy game of "Would you rather"?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if having more senses like insane smell could have downsides like not being able to do normal human things anymore because you are distracted by the new reality of things.

the talk i referenced above talked about it like a desktop icon...when I look ta an icon for an app on my phone or computer...I click the icon and use the app...but i o not perceive what is behind the app, how it works, etc. that is beyond my perception or even my need...but it is happeing...even as I type on the screen...not sure what ima saying here.

# data[].attributes.body
Interfering with nature and such

# data[].attributes.body
Won't this bring up a bunch of ethical and spiritual debates?

Having 360 degree vision sounds super fun

# data[].attributes.body
Or a loss of display systems

re: our umwelt...totally relative to not only our evolution (See link above) but also our genetics. I think of somebody like stevie wonder who saw colors when he heard music...etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Could be really useful for Instrument conditions and zero visibility while flying

# data[].attributes.body
Would these changes require genetic alteration or mutation? Or could we solely rely on technology?

@enhancing vision: my question exactly, would expanding the standard "uumvelt" be possible in the first place?

# data[].attributes.body
i wonder how the vest feels and how you would translate the vibrations

# data[].attributes.body
Is there other senses that we don't have, so we are missing out on a lot of colors/smells even visuals we dont have the "tools" to be able to sense?

# data[].attributes.body
If there is a possibility to use a camera to replace vision for someone who has lost it, couldn't it be used to enhance the vision of anyone?

# data[].attributes.body
wow. that vest has to require a bunch of skill even if it's partly unconscious.

# data[].attributes.body
the vest is crazy

this is it:

This also reminds me of a TED Talk I saw once related to Evolution and reality. The premise was that TRUE perception of reality is too overwhelming and thus not evolutionarily advantageous. thus, we have evolved to only sense a small portion of reality as that allow us a greater chance of reproductoin. translation: too much reality perception = less fit to survive. Ill try and find the link.

The devices used currently "fix" problems unique to some people. Are we sure it would be possible to "fix" the lack of senses all people lack?

# data[].attributes.body
Its really amazing how if the body is missing one of the senses it does its best to make up for it

# data[].attributes.body
I really dont understand how the camera eye would be able to create sight. I get how hearing could possibly work in that the digital impulses are translated into the sense of "sound", but doesnt site ultimately require architecture that is unique to the eye...(lens, rods, cones, etc.). Mind blown

# data[].attributes.body
Even if we were able to create devices that allowed us to perceive new peripherals, would our brain be able to comprehend them? Or would we skip over something like "seeing infa-red" if we'd never done it before?

# data[].attributes.body
Is there stimulus around us that we could possibly tap into that we don't even know about?

# data[].attributes.body
is the camera eye is installed what is the connecter made of and how does one charge the eye camera

# data[].attributes.body
"we've never experienced that sense of smell, so we don't miss it..." So true! I wonder what else this idea can apply to

# data[].attributes.body
What is the point in altering our umwelt? What is the point in putting tons of money into something that wouldn't really matter?

# data[].attributes.body
Makes me wonder when technology will be able to enhance a humans umwelt beyond the standard amount

# data[].attributes.body
This sounds a lot like Kerry's philosophical talks; what is reality?
