Blackberries and raspberries! I still have fond memories of picking them walking the way to and from school

Well like how glasses fix myopia it isnt really an ailment anymore then. Ideally that’s what we should be aiming for. Fixing - not making better just to make better

We only see people with PKU (phenylketonuria) or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) living normally because of our advances in medical fields. Before in our history they would perish (or unfortunately be culled) like the stunted hawk

It’s a highly grey area in ethics, but I think as long as we have best interest in mind and dont end up like the humans in Wall-E we should be fine.

Interesting that 3/10 people globally have myopia (near sightedness)… that’s absurdly high. And as the trends stay as they are they are only predicting an increase

I guess it proves humans as a whole are focusing more on screens, books, and other short visions tasks

Focusing on providing safe outdoor spaces for everyone has never been more important
