I'm not so sure. Just as language influences how we think and how understand the world, don't our senses mediate our understanding of reality? Say there were a hyper-intelligent, speaking scallop. I agree that we could build a shared language with the scallop for properties as "presence" or "absence", but the scallop's internal conception of presence and what presence looks like may be completely incomprehensible to us. Could that scallop then ever teach a human what presence is without showing it to them? (similar idea to knowledge argument) More practically, two points I find interesting about scallop vision: - 360 vision from multiple small eyes. How are these inputs combined in the scallop's brain? - Scallop eyes seem to be optimized for seeing contrast and detecting motion. What would seeing using an array of low resolution, light/darkness sensors be like?
