OK, so if you were born without any of your 5 senses, touch-sound-sight-hearing-taste, would you even be aware that you existed? or would you be self aware and go insane? I'm not really sure you'd even be aware of your existence, but I don't know.
Well, maybe you'd think that that's the way life is. You're not aware of what the 5 senses actually are because you've never thought about 'em. You'd definately be aware of your existence, but you wouldn't go insane. Or, at least I hope not :)

you wouldn't be able to survive without your senses, so you'd just be dead. if you can't see, hear, taste, touch, or smell, you won't be able to sense any danger, so you'd just die. Yeah, you could think, but all your thinking comes from memory and what you already know to base new information on, but memory comes from your senses. so if you have no senses, you have no memory, which means you have no decent thought. thus you'd never think about danger in an experienced sense so you'd find it and not realize it and eventually die.
i hope that made sense to everyone cause it made perfect fucking sense to me.

Yes, an idea is a type of thought.
Your 5 senses are all that tie you to reality, amd since a connection to reality is what makes us alive, I think in a spiritual sense we'd be dead. If not in the technical sense.

I've had that same exact thought. The truth is anything i or anyone else here says, is purely speculation. Its an unknown. I started to write my own little theory, but then changed my mind, cus its really kinda weak, since there isn't much to go on. Good thought though.

Did I just read a cry for help from you recently regarding why "...everyone hates me"? So take a look at the original post, and read your response. You had nothing to offer other than a critique of his word usage, lol.
Anyways, experience is relative. As someone said, if you never knew differently, that's all existence would be to you. I think the idea was that assuming all your survival needs are taken care of (?), what would the quality of the experience be?
Remember our senses do not define our world, they are clues we put together like a puzzle to create our perception of the world. So assuming you can still walk around (motor functions ok in this scenario?), even if you can't "feel" something, when you are moving, if all of a sudden something prevents you from moving, that is a clue incorporated in your perception that something "is there", however that would be framed for such an individual.
Sounds like it would suck balls.

i thought idea had an R on end of it? mybe it dos'nt
you should'nt make fun of somone for thee spelling. i was just trying to help him, i was'nt trying to start an argument like everyone thinks i am.
if a person was born without a sense, i dont think they could miss it or anything because they've never exspirenced another way of life so they dont know any better.
hey, mybe we're ALL missing one sense, but we dont know do we cause we were born like this?
kinda like that film, the sixth sense. lol.

But, the sense of touch is not just "touching" , it's physically feeling everything. you wouldn't know if something stopped you from walking, because you couldn't feel if you were walking or not.
on another note, CHILL OUT EVERYBODY. This was just something that went through my head last night when I was totally blazed. you can't exactly expect perfect grammer, now was this indended to be a battleground over proper speach. lol, reminds me of some story I heard as a kid where 2 kingdoms went to war over an argument over which side a hard-boiled egg should be cracked on.
Now everybody take a toke out of my peac pipe and feel the love :)

lol, ok when I posted this, it was just with the assumption that somehow you magically can live, breath, shit, and all that. no consideration to actually staying alive.

"Landmine has taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with a life in hell"
Definitely being born without senses wouldn't be nearly as bad as losing them after having them
