Consider the Whale
Equipped via evolutionary brilliance to communicate through oceanic sound channels
with low frequency sending and receiving sense packets over world spanning distance,
the whale tribe spans huge distances, and thousands of miles migration patterns.
But as underwater low frequency explosions for sonor mapping purposes become
more frequent the whale may become severed from its song, its navigation, its
tribe, its sonic environment- and wash up on unfamiliar beaches.
Consider the Human
Endowed with superfine hearing from the atom bomb to the atom, superfine location
detection, ability to render the world in 4 dimensions into a perceivable soundmap
connecting the human to the landscape even while sleeping.
Add overwhelming noise from radial tires, honking horns, whine of disc drive,
television hum, buzzing lights, refrigerator whine- is not the human similarly
severed from nature?
