If I had to get rid of one of my senses I would go for taste. Taste is nothing compared to the other senses, and besides, if food was tasteless to you, you'd probably never have to worry about overeating and becoming overweight.

Blind. Without hearing, I wouldn't be able to enjoy music or play the
bass, two things I love to do. Furthermore, there's so much I'd happily
abstain from seeing in this world.

We had an argument about this very subject last year in psychology.
I would hands-down rather be blind than deaf.

I was going to say deaf, and then I read your comment, and I realized that I would be lost without prog rock.

I'd prefer blindness. Living in a constant and total silence (something I never felt, actually...) for the rest of my life scares me. And it wouldn't be able to speak with anyone too...
Still, I hope no one will really have to decide this for real...

That's how I see it (no pun intended)... if I had the choice, though. I'd like to go progressively deaf so at least I can remember the music that I like.

With the world f**ked up to such a degree as it is in the moment, I Would rather go blind. I also should add that I would feel the benefits of sharper hearing also!

As much as I love music, I'd definitely rather go deaf than blind. Blindness would be much more difficult. And, you wouldn't be able to ogle hot chicks either!

Although being deaf is terrible it has its advantages, you no longer have to listen to discussions, yells, politicians speeches and lousy music. If you have listened lots of prog you can still play it in your mind unless you have bad memory.

Would you rather go deaf or blind?
