    his cube shaped neurons wouldn’t be able to process round objects, so you’d just be a vaguely blurry region in his field of view to him

      I always thought of it as something like 2 dimensional beings wouldn’t see 3 dimensional or how we wouldn’t be able to see 4 dimensional beings.

        4D golf has thought me otherwise. I even begun imagining simple 4d object in my mind.

          we can’t truly 100% accurately conceptualize 4d shapes, but 3d shadows of 4d objects is piss easy and basically good enough

            I think I can but I can’t really be sure that what we imagined is true. I can imagine 2+2=5 but it isn’t true.

            Also there is aphantasia and whole gradient of imagining capabilities. What if only a subset of humans can imagine 4d objects.

            My workflow: imagine a cube, imagine a second cube offset by 4D unit. connect the verticies.
