we drink with our eyes
just like we drink with a mouth
just photons
ultimately maybe conaciousness hides in a single point, single particle somewhere inside the brain
we have our reality tunnel, but its limited by our perceptive apparatus, not all electromagnetic and other information transmitting frequencies are available to us
maybe there is intelligence communicating on a gravitational wave spectrum
since all percepted is just an information
and information can be passed in different ways
do you doubt that a blind fish has its own very alien and different reality tunnel? who knows what kind of visions does a blind fish have, as I dont believe in total darkness
