I think the idea of knowing that our human minds have limits is very interesting and thought provoking because it is proof that there is more to reality than what we can sense. Other animals have different limits of senses than us so it is proof that there is more perception to reality than what humans are capable of perceiving. It would be interesting to have increased senses without as much limit and see how we would then perceive the world. Would that drastically change how much we can perceive. Would our reality that we think exists now, be instead changed and distorted? It would also be interesting to discover how much a difference having even more limits on our senses would make to our perception of the world. I think that adjusting limits on any of the five senses would change our perceptions and change our idea of reality because more may exist, however, the limits on our senses are holding us back from having that knowledge.
