Just your average really picky reader...

Twilight, inquisitive has ever, has gone to Luna with a question about her senses...

That is likely to be a mistake.

Damn it Twilight. This is why you don't look into the abyss. It will eventually look back, and you won't like what you see.

With this kind of rhetorics it makes me wonder if Sensory Deprivation Tanks are a form of medically assisted suicide in Equestria. Or at least a form of torture.

I don't get it? It's less that you're seeing darkness and more that your brain can't register anything in front of you because there's no light bouncing off of stuff into your eyes? Nothing's physically there in the absence of light that wouldn't be there with it. Help me out here, what am I missing?

That being true, the implication that people who have their eyes removed see "nothing" isn't true. If you don't have eyes, your brain doesn't provide any information to your consciousness, but a lot of people assume that what those people perceive is "darkness" or "nothingness" except that's not the case. What it's meant to be follows the actual explanation in the story. With all your other senses, when they're "inactive" there's still something that you can feel. However, with your eyes, when you're not "seeing" anything, like with your other senses where there's something that you can still feel, what is darkness, if in the technical sense, darkness is what you "feel with your eyes" when you can't perceive anything else.

It really is just meant to be spooky nonsense, it's not based in science. The idea that there's something out in the darkness that tickles that hindbrain spookums is all it's about.

Spooky. I like the idea that there is something there in the darkness that only reacts if you bring attention to it. There’s something visceral about crossing that knowledge threshold that leaves you vulnerable.
