So to what extent can you trust your senses? In what ways can your senses deceive you? 2-We watched videos and discussed a painter who lost his sight, but found he was now able to see incredibly vibrant and detailed images as he painted (also extremely expensive paintings too). We also discussed individuals who are blind but have come to develop the skill of echolocation and fine tune it to the extent that they are able to "see" their immediate world. Our senses are adaptive, and collectively create for us-our own unique experience, a connection to the world. If you were to wake up tomorrow "sense-less" (in that something in the night robbed you of all your sensory ability)-would that effectively be a death sentence? Would you still be alive? If you think-you'd still be "alive" what would that look like day to day 3-What is the most interesting, or intriguing thing you discovered/learned about as we discussed this bit on senses?"""
