What Would Happen If You Were Born With No Senses?

Okay, okay if you were looking for a full researched article you've come to the wrong place. This is a discussion on the thoughts I've had thinking about this topic and what I think it is to be the answer.

Humans have 5 major senses. Touch, sight, taste, hearing and smell. These five senses literally make up the world around us. Without them we'd be a blob solely existing in space and time.

You don't have to have all 5 senses of course, blind people prove that statement to be true all the time. Ever seen a blind person motoring around the world? Impressive. I know. Most of the time their other senses grow stronger which enables them to interact with the world better.

Take a look at this quick video from BBC Earth where this blind man can "see" with sound.

This video proves in one perspective that our other senses work harder when we are limited to less. The blind man Dan is this video I can only guess sees a sort of map in his conscious of the world around him but it is displayed not through his eyes of course but through his ears.

This idea of being 1 sense down from the 5 leaves me thinking what would happen if you had no sense. To that I say there are two different perspectives you can look at the question. One: Were all your senses lost after you already lived life for a bit? Or Two: Were you born without senses?

I'll answer Two for the sake of this blog post as I feel it's easier to take a stab at.

So what would happen if you were born without senses?

I think you wouldn't have a conscious .

One of the best evidence I can give that supports my answer is the our thoughts themselves. When you think, there are words or pictures and other things that flow through your brain. You can feel the brain think. Every thought you have is because you experienced something before.

Like when you have a thought in words, for me that thought is in English. If I never learned English before I wouldn't be thinking in it. Or when you are about to stick your hand in fire, then your brain is like "bro, that's hot. Don't do that," so you don't.

Your senses are the input center and your brain is the interpreter.

Because your thoughts in your head are made up of past experiences - to one who never had any experiences they would have no thoughts. And who is that one person that would have had no experience you may ask? The person that's born with no senses are unable to provide any input into the brain. All the organs may be working fine the the art of thinking is completely in shambles.

And maybe I am wrong, maybe people born with no senses do have thoughts? My only question to counter that is what would they be?

Cheers.
