    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.

    There are many dimensions to each of our senses. Just taking super-vision as an example, would that involve seeing very small things, seeing things at great distances, seeing through things or around corners, seeing more colors and/or wavelengths of light, seeing in 360°, seeing more subtle things than others see (like being able to see when someone's heart rate increases), processing what you see quicker (for quicker reactions), photographic memory, seeing things others can't (like magnetic fields or temperature), greater "frame rate", seeing in the dark, a HUD with information display, seeing ghosts, or something else entirely I haven't even thought of?

      Superfeel. I want to feel a speck of dust and know someone farted 2 km away.

          hearing, because we cant hear like ultrasonic or infrasonic frequencies the way some animals can, plus hearing things on the otherside of the planet, ability to control or filter unnecessary noises, barring supernatural abilities as well. plus vision that we can see x rays and gamma rays, and UV without a medical disease, microscopic vision.

                Assuming supertaste enables me to make broccoli taste like Pad Thai. I’ll go with that one.

                If it only heightens the sense - then probably less likely to pick that one.

                  I have stronger than average taste and smell. Do not recommend. Various things taste pretty awful, I'm more sensitive to smells and even things I like can become overwhelming.

                  I used to be able to see better in the dark than anyone I know, but that has faded with age. I've also always been somewhat colorblind so fixing that might be nice. I would also fix my hearing being kinda wonky (as in basically useless whenever multiple things are producing sound at once).

                  I'm tempted to want some kind of better balance or electromagnetic perception (though that one could be awful for the same reason I wouldn't want to see much beyond what I do on the visible light spectrum since UV radiation and infrared could be a wall of noise).

                        Super proprioception, the ability to know how good is your hairdo without looking.

                        Nah, I want the vision one.

                          Depends if I can turn it on and off at will, or if it's on all the time. Even super vision would likely result in a sensory overload, even seeing the inside of your eyelids when you close your eyes!

                            Being ND it feels that my senses are already too much sometimes and they become even more amplified by the amount of stress I experience. Honestly I'd rather have the option to decrease the intensity of sensory experiences than increase it. 😅

                              Might not be too bad depending on the type of supervision.

                              If it's like a personal butler, I'm all for it.

                                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.

                                  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 really need supervision.

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

                                          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.

                                          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.
