    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.

        There’s a fun book based partially on this premise.

        I read it as a kid and enjoyed it, but have thought for years that it was called Flatland. Turns out that, while it covers a similar subject, that’s an entirely different book. I think I just read them around the same time. I’m glad I did because I read and enjoyed other Sleator books as a result.

        Also the Futurama episode was entertaining.
