Would you prefer supervision, supersmell, superfeel, superhearing, or supertaste? And what about the other senses of the body that are not part of the quintet? Think balance, temperature, and even the ability to feel where all your body parts are (you can close your eyes, wave your hands around, and touch your knee)

For me, I would pick supervision. It would be really cool to see better in the dark, have built-in camera zoom, and see in higher detail.

    NONE! I ALREADY HAVE TOO MANY! I got high detail vision, taste and smell and a bit super hearing. My partner has among other things such a good hearing they hear electricity in the walls. Life for them is a nightmare!

    Being autistic isnt fun :(

    Super enhanced proprioception.

    General execution and even general learning of anything that requires physical movement (from sports, driving, writing/typing, doing surgery, videogames…) would be massively improved.

    There are aids to enhance things like vision and hearing, but there are 0 aids currently for proprioception.

    Greetings from the neurodivergent spectrum!

    Quick question, can I also have the opposite of these?

      I would argue that instead of wishing for impairment to cope with the overstimulation, you just wish for the part of your brain that handles sensory input to be able to handle your normal sensory load without issue.

    I really need supervision.

    No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

    Vision. As I’ve gotten older I have noticed that my eyes aren’t what they used to be, and I find it annoying. I’d love to compensate for that.

    As a guy who wears glasses, heightened vision would be awesome.

    Super hearing would be great, too. I’d love to be able to hear all the nuances of music and be able to hear it without turning it up.

      I have what you may call supersmell, and it drives me insane sometimes as usually people around me couldn’t smell them until they take a closer sniff, while I’d just smell it first thing. And no, sadly, I wasn’t talking about nice smell.

    Super hearing, to the point of echolocation (Which apparently some blind people can actually do in a very basic form as a learned skill!?)

    I have really good hearing and it honestly sucks sometimes because you can’t really not hear some things when you really, really, really wish you couldn’t.

    With super-vision at least I can close my eyes.

    There’s also superpain, but I don’t think many would want that…
