Human evolutionary history may beg to differ in that the nervous system has evolved to be optimal for processing input from the natural senses; but the mighty truth is it is all mere signals. With sufficiently biochemically sophisticated interfaces, and potentially medicine to ease the adaption, any signal source can become a sense. I must underline that a link between "a sense" and the neurvous system can be monodirectional but "should" be bi-directional; if we give a person a sense as the ability to percieve the traffic of an arbitary server, we will be humane and ALSO give them the eyelids to ignore and open their perception of the ports. Which parts of the brain are best for such interfacing? I believe the commonly spread understanding of the notion of a sense must be uncomplete; were one sense closed, there is no reason we could not put two senses in its place. I imagined sort of graph structure connecting senses but this intuition hide away partially, and I cannot elaborate it further now...

Remarkable power of resilience and passion! Tim Doucette's story is incredibly inspiring

Cant watch from my location, just want to know if he is the inspiration for the blind character in my favourite movie, Contact.
I couldn’t play the video on iPad OS Safari. Just FYI. Sounds interesting.
This was so heartwarming

Off-topic, but I was watching this golf instructional video from the 70’s or 80s by Gary Player. And he’s talking about all the different golfers he’s played with and he mentions this blind golfer,
“Blind golfer offered to play me a round for $100/hole. He had two rules. We play his home course and we tee off at midnight.”
