The Tommy Edison Experience how do you do things like scratch mosquito bites or pop pimples without harming yourself? I have tried to pop acne without a mirror but it always ends up a bloody mess. How do you avoid over scratching mosquito bites because if I'm not paying attention, I'll have a layer of skin gone. I'll look down at what I've been scratching and realized that it'll hurt later, but it didn't hurt when I was scratching it. Also, what's your concept of mirrors?

I could watch an entire episode of the 3D 2D drawings. Kudos to the person who thought of that.

0:42 "i have to open it to *see* whats inside" Isnt this just a beautiful proof of how our perception of the concept of "seeing" is not just limited to the optical spectrum, but we consider that word to be a representation of aquiring knowledge and understanding of something as well. What a beautiful man, who sheds light on the most unexpected things.

_At least the ones I've heard of,_ you need to get 3D scanned. It's expensive, since between the 3D scanning and the good quality 3D printer, manual smoothening, and hand-painting, it takes a lot of resources to do well. I don't know if it's a couple hundred or a couple thousand dollars, but either way it's really pricey.

I think another thing that could work even better, is Tommy trying a VR headset (ex. GearVR/Rift). At first that might sound ridiculously absurd, however with the right application, he'd be able to experience truly 3D audio, which has been unavailable to everyone until VR headsets came along (even though it could have been done much earlier than the visual headsets). That said, I'm not sure if there are any viable experiences that would showcase that effect well enough to be worth it. There are other audio experiences that one can do though, such as *Papa Sangre,* an audio-only game that runs on Apple devices.

someone should make those 3d drawings but of the beach, i just saw one of his vids where he was describing the sun and the horizon and how perplexing it is so it would be cool to see some simplified drawings of large scale things like that which are the hardest for him to see without visualisation

I am amazed at how fast he guesses stuff, like he has a memory of how all the things feel like, even the things that he could not have felt (like the airplane) in their actual size, meaning, that he REMEMBERS how he once held an toy airplane in his hands , which is way less often then sighted people see airplanes...

“I never took note in class i was too busy sleeping” this man is funny 😂😂

I feel like the human brain is so trained to see faces in everything, even the most simplified version of them, so with things like the facial profile or the shark there wasn't a ton of detail needed for us to understand it, whereas tommy wouldn't think that you can just gloss over the most detailed part of the human body like that. Or at least that's my idea. I thought this was really cool.

I love how he drew pictures of his hand as a child and didn't even know it! 😂😂😂

loved this so much tommy! and thanks to Ben for putting it all together for us to watch!

This channel is incredibly fascinating. I was surprised to learn how intuitive human pattern recognition is. Tommy's ability to extrapolate 3D references from simple 2D representations of objects is astonishing.

you make me so happy! thank you for making videos!☺

I love how your so amazed by these! You made me smile :)

This is so sweet! I love how there are people who wish to share the world images to Tommy! The drawings made from a 3D pen made me happy that Tommy gets to know what the objects are like!

I had the absolute worst day coming into this video. And now i'm all smiles. Tommy's got that power. Love these videos where he's learning something new. Tommy You're awesome!
