Goddamnit, when I saw this thread, the Falmer were the first thing that came to mind. You kind of become reallyacquainted with the Falmer when you're exploring that infinitely large expanse called Blackreach, not to mention all the other Dwemer ruins.  | ||

I think people would survive just fine. Society would develop with these alternative sensory modalities in mind, so instead of visual cues, everything would be auditory and touch-based. Lots of sounds indicating different features, or different surface textures indicating others. For example, different notes might be ascribed to very common pieces of information that we use all the time--like "open" or "closed" for a store, elevator status, etc. With respect to discrimination, which I think this post was hinting at, it's hard to say. I think that discrimination is something inherent in our psyche that's derived from a basic sense of tribalism--we consider "outsiders" to automatically be the enemy, and have an innate desire to protect those more genetically (and to us, therefore visually) similar. In a world without sight, I think things like quality of voice might replace skin color--what I'm saying is that people would find other features by which they can discriminate. | ||

Discrimination doesn't need eyes per se. It's just easier to differentiate with eyes. We could still use ears to look down on people. ... figuratively speaking. | ||

Well before this we'd have to first discover the concept of "vision". That's kind of hard if nobody has ever been born with eyes. | ||

Well because we just got hit by a 6.8 Earthquake here in Cebu, Philippines and there were tons of panic because of talks of Tsunami. And I found that all very amusing because it was just a false alarm. Oh and God couldnt flood us to oblivion because God's already under oblivion. LOL | ||
