Seriously though, I don't think that there's a sense that human beings, as we are today, trust as much as sight. Granted, it's fraught with problems, but how much of our world is focused on our ability to see (i.e. fashion)? Enlighten, illuminate.. all references to the ability to see.
Yes.
aww yeah, TOK time. I agree with that statement, yes. Our language is based upon sight just because it's what we use most often. Discourse alone proves our heavy dominance on it. Furthermore, anyone who says it's not the most important trait is mislead. hahaha jp, maybe not mislead but i disagree. Even if we had extroardinar hearing, there's only so far that we could go. I mean, we'd have no idea what the universe was like or even that it existed. We'd be wandering around in a void we traveled upon...perhaps by echolocation? (haha, i saw on ripley's believe it or not, someone who had honed echo location and could use it while walking, they showed him going up to a tree and he described it and such, pretty sweet). Anyway, no use, that doesn't work in space. Also, we'd be so much less productive...do you even think we'd make it to get anywhere near being the dominant species on earth? That'd be good for earth probably though.
