Ok we have a limited
amount of senses
and for some reason,
we’ve gotten the
idea that there is little
else in the
world to experience
outside of
these senses.
But simply because we
were not built for experiencing
different ways of gaining
information
[isn’t that what the
senses do?]
doesn’t mean there aren’t
more ways
of detection.
For example if humans
could never hear – never
in creation. Would sound exist? It probably would only we would
never know it. So there could be different
senses that we cannot
experience ever or cannot yet because
we have not learned
how to. More about information, life seems
just to be a gathering
of information. That’s what experience
is isn’t it? What
the information is for, I don’t know, but all
our senses sight, taste,
hearing, touch, smell are all ways
of recording what is
around us.
So if there is other
intelligent life around us, let’s just call them
aliens for the purpose
of this rant, why should they be detectable
to us? They could
be, but they don’t have to be. It makes sense
that they don’t have
to be. Isn’t that what makes them alien?
Strange, foreign, unfamiliar?
Why would aliens have to comply with
human standard senses?
Just so that we could witness them? It
seems to make sense
that other life forms would experience life in a different manner to us.
