But being able to interact with the world physically like that would just be amazing. And not just for having to be a caretaker or something, but something like I talked about, just being able to read a book. I imagine an optimist robot just being able to hold a book open in front of me, get that smell again.

I might not be able to feel it at that point, or maybe I could, again, with the sensation and stuff. But there's something different about reading a physical book than staring at a screen or listening to an audiobook. I actually don't like audiobooks. I've listened to a ton of them at this point, but I don't really like them. I would much rather read a physical copy.

Yeah. A lot of things that I interact with in the world, like clothes or literally any physical thing that I interact with in the world, a lot of times what people around me will do is they'll just come like rub it on my face. They'll like lay something on me so I can feel the weight. They will rub a shirt on me so I can feel fabric.
