I wonder also if there would be a cognitive load (information overload, for example) that would mean we’d start to have less of other kinds of sense perception?
I know that when I’m in ‘flow’ working on an essay, I lose track of time, I ‘tune out’ my hearing, and I can ignore back pain, RSI and eyestrain… until I stand up from my desk. I wonder how this aspect would be impacting by his ideas?

I am particularly fascinated by the argument that apparently the brain starts to figure out the new electric signals of the newly added senses and attributes meaning to them after only a couple of weeks. I wonder how much else of our learning process actually happens subconsciously and whether we can find ways to use those processes to our advantage and improve our learning.

Humans are “de-limited by our biology.” (3:00 minute mark). There is a lot that we don’t see, hear, smell, sense…. What does that mean for how we learn? PJ
