The Next Big Idea Club, August 2023 Must-Read Book
In 2016, scientists proved that humans could see light at the level of a single photon. We are living in historic times when humans may look at the very fabric of the universe in a laboratory setting. Around the world, other recent discoveries about the senses are just as astounding. It turns out we can hear amplitudes smaller than an atom, smell a trillion scents, have a set of taste buds that can discern molecules of fresh water, and can feel through the sense of touch the difference of a single molecule.
Fearfully and Wonderfully Made takes listeners through their own bodies, delving into the molecular and even the quantum, and tells the story of our magnificent sensorium and what it means for the next wave of human potential. From the laboratories to the ordinary homes where these breakthroughs are taking place, the book explores our current sensory Renaissance and shows listeners how they, themselves, can heighten their own senses and experience the miraculous.

Less of a how-to than I was hoping for

I'd first corresponded with Maureen before the meeting, to ask her conclusions about transhumanism. She explained that she felt it was too early in humankind's evolution to consider such an attitude of biological augmentation. This I was glad to read and hear.
I'm a synesthete and had never talked with anyone knowledgeable about it until I talked with Maureen. I'd never explored the idea of mirror-touch neurons with anyone until I talked with her, and that was revelatory for me, too. This book of hers was, for me, a very graceful and scientifically-backed survey of many of humankind's new understandings and discoveries about our astounding biology and completely underestimated perceptual abilities. I recommend the book highly!
Before I met Maureen, I'd also met and talked with other people who we have in common as friends. One of those is Joe McMoneagle, and another is a well-regarded scientist who doesn't suffer from a lack of publicity. And after I met her she was kind enough to introduce me to the astounding Neil Theis, whose work is mentioned in this book.
A Very, *Very* Good Exploration
