Sensory organs rely on the structure and function of collagen to accomplish what they've evolved to do. In this video, I look at a major problem presented by the phalloplasty attempts to solder arm skin to a pelvic nerve and expect it to do something good and not do something bad to the conscious mind's experience. There is a loss of signal complexity that happens when making the leap from analog to digital signal, and no matter what you plug your audio-only radio into, it will never be able to display a video. You'll never be able to play an image through a speaker. What comes out the speaker will not be an image. We are robbing people of functioning they can never acquire any other way.
