How the Sixth Sense Was Lost

LIFE IS GREAT FANTASTIC INCREDIBLE AND AT TIMES UNBELIEVABLE. FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS I THOUGHT EVERYONE HAD SIX SENSES APPARENTLY NOT. ARE YOU THE ONLY OTHER ? I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT HAPPENED. WAS IT MISPLACED? MAYBE IT WAS LOST. MAYBE IT WAS LEFT BEHIND. MAYBE IT BECAME OBSOLETE AND DIS-RE-GAR-DED. I DO WONDER HOW IS IT STILL POSSIBLE PEOPLE STILL MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY AND LIFE UNHARMED AND ALIVE WITH OUT IT. I UNDERSTAND TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY. YET I STILL MUST ASK. DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE POSSESS THE SIXTH SENSE? TO THINK... WHAT ONCE WAS COMMON... IS NOW OBSCURE. WITH THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE IT WILL FOR SURE DISAPPEAR. Michael E. Harris 02102022

I think Michael, AI is still in its infancy and will continue to grow but at a slower rate than previously thought, very interesting how you compare it to us losing our sixth sense, is it because our sixth sense is in fact balance, you feel we are losing it to technology, you could well be onto something enjoyed your poem, cheers David

Thank you Michael for the detailed response, I agree with some of your points, concerning technology being beyond the average imagination, and people becoming mobile phone slaves or maybe addicts, I still believe our sixth sense is our sense of balance, intuition is probably atavistic with instinct, reading your poems I’ve no doubt your an extremely clever guy, and certainly give this reader food for thought.

Hi David There is a little humor coded into the poem. Intuition is considered the 6th sense to my understanding. Technology is way beyond the average imagination today. TRANSHUMANISM has been in the works 75 years? There is a real human cyborg believe it or not. There is a reason Big Pharma and the CDC don't want to release the vaccine documents for 75 years. I leave it there. You can do your own research. I would to suggest you read my poem genetically modified America. 2016 and The truth behind the flu also 2016. Most of my work is created from life experiences and elevated consciousness. The hidden clues Dis-re--GARD-ed. To THINK... and. COMMON One should conclude COMMON SENSE. Most people depend on their SMART phone for everything. To the point how to think what to think even yes yes yes when to think.
