Blind, sighted, the man wrote Songs in the Key of Life. Anyone who calls him a fraud is a moron.
Thanks for sharing on Threads!
why cant he do surgery?
is it not possible for this guy to get surgery? (just asking)
we need to let this man see, technology is speeding up let's focus in on this
Ive heard ALOT of bad things about Chris Chan he is a sicko
Answered a lot of questions I had. Great video
A photon hits rhodopsin in your retinal cone. The photon is absorbed and flips the molecule from cis to trans. Brain senses this as a colour in a spot on the retina. So you need to know organic chemistry and quantum physics.
Just say normal, no need for this woke "cis" slur!!!
My take is that imagining vision is like us trying to imagine a sharks 6th sense of electric field perception.
How do you explain hearing?
I was wondering, How good are you at hiding things?
Purple is a very interesting and unique color! Because it isn't even on a visible color spectrum. Purple is imagined by our brains when both blue and red cones in our eyes are triggered. But since what actually stands in the middle of blue and red - green - does not get triggered in our eye, our brain just comes up with another mix of blue and red. Purple is also a royal color. Purple dye was very hard and expensive to get in the middle ages. This is also why there were almost no purple flags. Would be too difficult to do a lot of them. Things that are purple: plums, eggplants, grapes, some variants of potatoes, carrots and onions. Beetroot can be a dark pinkish purple. Lettuce can be purple. Amethysts are very beautiful purple color, lavender is purple and its smell really reminds me of the color. There are purple jellyfish, corals, butterflies, beetles, mushrooms, crabs, really striking purple birds. It's a rare, but very unique color. And by the way grey is my favourite! It's the color of my eyes, of stone and metal, of mist and clouds of the moon dust. A lot of animals and birds have soft grey fur and feathers. Some wood and soil is really pretty grey. It may appear dull and boring to others, but for me it's really precious.
To be fair the ones he did not guess were really close to the true colors. It's interesting how similar colors even smell similar.
I have aphantasia, which means I can’t imagine images. I’d love to know if she can still imagine images
Describing site to this man is akin to a 5 dimensional alien describing 5 dimensional objects in space
There was a movie about this with Brad Pitt I think. Theoretically it would be hard for your brain to process because you didn't learn as a child. It would probably require a ton of work with a visual therapist. Kinda like physiotherapy.
It might be interesting to a blind person to know the geometry of sight. Imagine you inside a ball. You can see the half of the ball in front of you. You can only read clearly what is in a small cone directly ahead. The rest is there but not sharp or readable. And we do not sense the outer edge, it just does not exist in our brain. To sense what is behind us we use ears! 😁
Sharks can sense electric fields at large distances. That would be useful... must be nice... but I don't miss it. Still I can imagine.
Nts 4:16
Our brains are unable to show us what it looks like because there is nothing to look at to begin with
Adnoh yek - key honda !?
He is blind
Hell, better than some “professional” painters I have met
Omg the one that made me really mad was the guy that said you were ugly as a kid. That is the opposite!! The pictures of you as a kid are ADORABLE
Many people have grey cars Tommy
He gave everyone the answer when he told you about Spilling cola. If you don’t wipe correctly, eventually, you’re going to feel it. Just like he felt stickiness on the floor and returned to clean it again. Also the overuse of napkins to clean some thing up (toilet paper).
Being legally blind doesn’t mean he can’t see anything. He can definitely see to some degree.
Some hardcore body-modification people have put magnets in their fingertips and with a bit of time the nerves inside their fingers adjust to the magnet, so the electrical field impulse felt by the magnet can be physically felt by the person if the wave is catchy enough. Someone turns on the microwave or you get a phone call on an older cell phone and you can feel a slight hum in the digits. I've done some experiments with just using a bunch of button sized neodymium magnets because I'm not about to stick metal into my fingerpads voluntarily but using bandaids and less than a 25 dollar purchase off amazon i could definitely feel voltage humming inside wires and walls. Do you have any sense of that?
Tommy would make a great stand up comic . I’d pay to go to his shows 👍😂 great video
blind people smile the most, i find that beautiful
If you wasn't blind , did you want to be a cop
What a nice man
see no evil, hear no evil
Why won't the interviewer open his eyes lmao
The reason you can miss something right in front of you is because you have to be looking at it. With sound you always hear everything around you, but with sight you only see what you're looking at. You have a field of view in front of you, but our eyes only can really look at one thing at a time. We see what's around that thing, but only the thing we are actively looking at looks totally clear. Things in your peripheral vision get gradually less and less clear the further out they are from the center of your vision. Also, the brain evolved to filter out a lot of information so we don't get overwhelmed by our senses. So we aren't really seeing everything in our field of view perfectly. Our brain only focuses and takes notices of a couple of things at a time.
It is sad someone actually asked such a question. Good wishes to you Tommy. You handled the question really well.
But how do you know if you are dreaming or not? I have very intense visual dreams. Most of the time, I can’t even tell I’m dreaming. But when I’m awake I know I’m awake, because things *look* different when I’m awake. More crisp and clear.
Thumbs down, what’s the answer??
Of course blind people can 'understand' vision - even if they can't experience it. Just as we can understand how dolphins 'see' inside an object using a sort of sonar sensory perception.
A+
She doesn't seem blind🥱
Well, now a days of your blind and someone is a trans , then what ? Or what if there not attractive and you can't see them.
To be fair Tommy, I think most sighted people could get most of these wrong too. When we're talking about how colors make us feel, it could be different for everyone. For instance, I was thinking about Orange when the color to guess was Yellow. But as always, great content, and very entertaining. Thank you!
I'm rewatching all these videos that I enjoyed so long ago! Thanks for the great content! Hope you're doing well
Dreamless sleep. You don't see black if you sleep without dreaming, you see nothing due to faded consciousness and the absence/lack of thoughts. This is arguably the best explanation of what completely blind people see since everyone can experience it. A better explanation than that closing one eye malarkey.
I miss your videos, Tommy!
9:05 Should try the color of LSD ☺️ Both of them
There is a story on youtube, that a blind person takes DMT and experiences something amazing you should defenetly try it
Why is he saying that Ralph did not kill Pie-O-My ? Of course he did, and he essentially confessed during the confrontation with Tony. They didn't show who set the fire, but it's clear that Ralph did it or ordered someone else to do the deed.
When he talks about cars, I wish he would be given large toy models of say a Toyota Camry and a Ferrari 458, so he COULD feel the difference between a normal car and an exotic sports car. Its like the difference between a hamster and a cheetah.
