This is a good point.
It seems entirely plausible that we will add on new structures to our
brains. And, perhaps a new brain layer. (Max has a current chapter on
this, in fact, I don't know whether it is ok to comment on now.)
When I think of radical sensory enhancements, I think of mega processing
power and all sorts of router systems and intelligent agents working away
steadily to allow a vast array of awarenesses to asthetically alert my
consciousness. I'd like the "sensorial aesthetic awareness" it to drive
like an smoothly steered vehicle. (But I'll have to discuss this with
Anders a bit.)
