Isn't it weird how we're all riddled with tiny holes and smells go into them?

It's completely normal for a system to be connected with its environment through inputs and outputs. Smells like other sensations are just a type of interface to simplify complex information as symbols.

Do you also get an existential crisis when you see buildings have windows and doors?

To be fair: modern technology and the act of self-reflection induces alienation from our body. Moreover the act of controlling our body is more like flying an alien spaceship than a normal airplane.

You're ignorant, technology is only getting closer to biology as it progresses, because biology fucking works.

When you look at a screen you are living in your mind not in your body. When muscles don't get tired the mind becomes overactive. When listening to a podcast you hear a script not how a human being normally talks. Send a text message and miss the opportunity to hear your own voice. Watch television while eating and you barely notice what chewing and swallowing feels like. Dead bodies are quickly hidden. Emotions are barely allowed and overly suppressed from a young age. Pain is medicated. So what does a modern human know of his body?

True, even the universe has (black) holes. And supposedly they emit particles over time. There's probably some universal theory of holes.

I am looking at the screen while at the gym, now what?
>When muscles don't get tired the mind becomes overactive
We have developed technologies that optimize muscle usage.
>When listening to a podcast you hear a script not how a human being normally talks.
I'm not homosexual so I don't listen to podcasts.
>Send a text message and miss the opportunity to hear your own voice
Not particularly relevant, i hear it often enough.
>Watch television while eating and you barely notice what chewing and swallowing feels like.
True, don't eat while watching things.
>Dead bodies are quickly hidden.
Yeah, fortunately, prevents the spread of diseases.
>Emotions are barely allowed and overly suppressed from a young age
Major skill issue, i show gore to my coworkers for the lulz.
>Pain is medicated.
Which is good when it's overwhelming, that's how technology ought to be used, to compensate for the inherent weaknesses of biology. Pain is a great diagnostic and behavioral tool, but it becomes a problem when overwhelming.
>So what does a modern human know of his body?
More than ever if they read a book.

>but many people live like shit
Yeah and without modern technology they'd be dead instead.
