Aubrey Levin was my court ordered psychiatrist. I'm not crazy this is something that really happened!!! He had moved to Canada and was still practicing in calgary.

I made some bad decisions and ended up with court ordered psychiatric care. As a person who had already survived pray away the gay camp I was pretty messed up about who I am.

When I was in kindergarten, some one decided that being near sighted was a weakness in the eye muscles. So every day the kids who wore glasses had to gather on stage and we were lead through a series of eye exercises. They were so frustrated that none of our vision improved and they decided that we were just doing the exercises wrong. So we'd sit in a circle and do the exercises and a teacher with a flashlight would come around and point it at our eyes to make sure we were doing the exercises correctly. We also weren't allowed to complain about the light in our eyes. I seriously hope those teachers led a crap life in the nursing home

To answer the question on whether blind people have better hearing, it's only sort of true. It's not like blind people's ears are any different, there is no increase in auditory signals or anything. That being said, blind people get far more practice at simply paying attention to what they are hearing (helped by the fact a greater portion of the brain gets devoted to auditory processing as vision drops to 0) As a simple example that anyone can try, walk down a sidewalk that is adjacent a fairly busy road that has a number of large objects in between the sidewalk and the road (ex. bus shelters, greater than head height vehicles that kind of thing). Walk along the sidewalk with your eyes closed (if the sidewalk isn't clear, get a friend to help so you don't hurt yourself) and pay attention to the traffic sound and how it changes. Besides the usual doppler shift, you should fairly easily be able to pick out the momentary interruptions in volume as the cars pass on the other side of the object. Congrats, you now know an object is present without sight or touch. This "auditory shadow" can be observed with any sufficiently large object in between yourself and any sufficiently predictable source of sound. It sounds like the simplest thing (and really it is), but people who are fully sighted almost never pay attention to it, even though they technically hear it.

Super surprised that the involuntary radiation experiments on Albert Stevens (and others! ) was not on the list! He horrifyingly holds the title of the most radioactive human. He survived the highest known accumulated radiation dose in any human being ever. Looks like there will be a sequel to this video!

Loved the editing in this video. The comedic timing was fantastic.

My favorite color is grey...and purple but that was because my crush was crazy about that and I just pavloved myself into getting happy at the color because it reminded me of them. I like grey because it's an easy to find clothing option that somehow always looks nice. It also helps that my eyes gradually became extra sensitive to light and it's hard for grey to become too bright to look at when well lit. I went from a dumb kid that could stare at the sun without batting an eyelid to not being able look away from the ground when outside due to buildings and cars. Can't even look into the sky away from the sun without shielding some of the light. So yeah, hard to not make grey your favorite when it's the most abundant color that doesn't fry your eyeballs.
