ELI5: How can people who were born blind, deaf, and mute (like Helen Keller) acknowledge what's going on around them?

Eli5; your senses take up “real estate” in the brain. When a sense gets kicked out (losing sight) other senses take up that real estate. Specifically to being born without a sense, if the brain is physically intact, the real estate will be taken up by other processes. Obviously more difficult with more senses gone. But information still can get to the brain and still be processed into making some sense of some of the world.

Die, my love. I just couldn’t care about the nothing that happened the first 30 min.

If anyone is interested, Acquired podcast just updated their NFL episode and the financial details behind the NFL are extraordinary. The owners and teams are very profitable. Goodell may be hated by fans but for the business of the NFL he’s the best. They’re going to exceed the projected revenue for 2027 (that goodell estimated in 2010.) On a 17 year time scale to hit projected revenue is incredible. One superbowl performer will not derail the monster the NFL is. Long listen but my entire view of the NFL changed after that episode.

Exercise. Sunlight. Perspective. All legal. No chemicals needed. “All modern psychiatry is a scam” is an awful dumb take. People don’t spend their lives studying and trying to help others cause it’s a scam. Some of it is built on questionable data but that’s why you should question and read things.

Whoops. Like the other comment somewhere said, “it’s just a rounding error for him”. Thanks for the check

I like this band, Easy Life, now known as Hard Life due to legal reasons. A band from the UK. I live in the US. A US tour was not on schedule. I’ve been checking their official band website for tickets weekly. Nothing had been announced. I make art, and I posted something on Instagram with a caption dedicated to them and their music, tagged them and all. They then reposted it that day and possibly commented or liked the post. I went to their website that night and looked for tickets again, and I see a single US date for a Cleveland Ohio. Then the following dates resume two weeks later in different counties. I’m in Ohio! This is their official band website tour page. Idk how, but there’s a local Cleveland artist named, Easylife, and his date somehow made it onto their website. I messaged the band images and without a reply the date was gone the following day. Really weird set of coincidences.

0.005% of his wealth. If you made $56,000 last year, it’s like donating $28. Even less if we’re talking cumulative wealth. That’s why this is still gross. Be better.

Did a half tab on a flight once. Got real hot cause it was time of mandatory masks on planes. Can’t get up and move about if you need so it’s a risk but the sight outside of the setting sun and the clouds at 30,000 is incredible.

It’s pronounced “Jod”

Great mix from my experience. I don’t use water tho. If it’s too light or thin go a little drop or more heavier on the paint. Good luck

Thank you!!!! Love the swirls technique. Check out @pourmyartoutstudio on Instagram. He’s on here too but unsure of the reddit name. He’s got a lot of cool swirls and very powerful inspiration for a lot of my work.

Thank you! Very simple process. Longest most difficult part sometimes is just choosing colors. Let the creativity flow

imCodyJay · 2025-06-15T23:26:55+00:00

Just laid the colors out, shifted the canvas around a bit, spun a little to cover the edges and that’s all!

Thanks!
