<p>Out of all of the optional essays, none really caught my eye. Usually it's easy for me to find an essay that I can endlessly espouse on, but not here. Probably a testament to the high level of thinking necessary to be successful at the university.</p>
<p>Anyway, the only one I can truly see myself writing is the Mantis Shrimp one. But it asks what does it see that we can't...and I want to say it sees too much. As in, its visual senses overwhelm and take over its logical senses (i.e. it puts too much stock in the visual, while ignoring the abstract). </p>
<p>This seems too risky, especially since the prompt kind of leads you to answer the question with the beneficial nature of seeing able to see so much more than we can.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
