as the name suggests, what is your view on the notion that blindness is a spectrum? do you think that the legal blind limit should be changed? do you consider people just riding the limit blind? why or why not?
over and out. I stand with the people of Palestine
It is scientificly proven that blindness is a spectrum. It's not that hard to prove. Now I wish I could seak for the limit being changed or not changed, but I've been totally blind my entire life. I do feel that it's appropriate to share this story here though. I was in an indroduction to philosophy class last semester. This guy who had guided me before said the following a month in the class "and you know how blind people see in black and white..." I interrupted him right there and said, "Sorry to interrupt but I disagree here."" It was a small class of about twenty-five so it was fine to speak out like that, and I caused the entire class to lose their minds. And thus a conversation about what I did see conspired and me explaining that, one, blindness is a spectrum, and two, I only see light and that color has no meaning at all to me.
Off the spinner, to the skinner, it chops off layers, now I'm thinner.
I think that maybe the term legally blind is a little bit stupid, considering legally blind is I guess basically you can still see but not very good. I don't know what I would change it to but I would at least change the term to legally low vision, because obviously as we know blind is a term for not seeing anything.
