• New "Prima" eye implant is a breakthrough for the blind – allows regaining the ability to read.
• Involves implanting a microprocessor under the retina, with patients wearing glasses with a camera that transmits the image to the implant.
• Of 32 people implanted, 27 could read using central vision; after a year, they improved by 5 lines on the vision test chart.
• 70-year-old patient Sheila Irvine, who lost her sight over 30 years ago and has had the implant for 3 years, now solves crosswords.

• Myopia (nearsightedness) is increasingly common, with serious risks for high myopia such as legal blindness, retinal detachment, and cataracts.
• It results primarily from the eyeball growing too long, causing light to focus in front of the retina, leading to poor distance vision.
• Environmental influences, especially increased indoor time and near work with screens, have driven the rapid rise of myopia in recent decades.
• Digital screens stress the eyes by forcing continuous near focus and lack of depth cues, causing accommodative spasms and vision strain.
• Preventative actions include spending at least 2 hours outdoors daily, regularly focusing on distant objects, and practicing the 20-20-20 rule during screen time.
• Corrective solutions such as glasses, contacts, and LASIK improve vision but do not address underlying eye structure changes or risks associated with high myopia.
• Claims of myopia reversal exist but lack widespread scientific validation.
• The prevalence of myopia and reliance on corrective lenses is projected to grow drastically, making vision protection urgent in the digital age.
• Ongoing research and awareness about vision health and behavioral changes are crucial to mitigate the myopia epidemic.

How can this be adapted? MUFG are looking to implement a 6-eyes workflow and they didn't find the documentation helpful. To be honest, we are not finding this too helpful either, given what we are trying to help the client out with.

The process of having a work typewritten forced the affordance of creating time away from the writing of a piece. This allows for both active and diffuse thinking on the piece as well as the ability to re-approach it with fresh eyes days or weeks later.

It's difficult to teach when you've forgotten how you learned a thing yourself. It's hard to un-know a topic to empathize with the beginner.

Does this still connect to the motif of eyes, where she has lost the ability to see for herself, the truth?

So then to be penetrated, or to engage in sexual conduct, is to deliver truth to one another, to look at one another is not only to have sex with another but also to exchange truth souls

The eyes reveal a sense of truth more than words could ever show. To look the interpreter in the eye, who is an Eye, would be equivalent to confessing a sin or confessing desire.

• He would teach at harvard from 1924 until 1937
• This is when most of his major philosophical books were written
• He reports in 1924 in the fall when he began teaching his first philosophy course to these students at harvard that
  • it was also his first philosophy course
• Of course he'd been studying philosophy but he'd never had formal education in it
• So as is often the case with major paradigm changes
  • someone from outside the discipline within which they provide some new paradigmatic understanding
  • is looking at the old problems with fresh eyes
  • They don't have the disciplinary training that would tend to leave one stuck in the existing concepts and categories
• Whitehead is coming into philosophy with fresh eyes

It's somewhat interesting and potentially non-coincidental that the entirety of this list aside from Sam Harris and Camille Paglia are highlighted as anti-trans (red) by the browser extension Shinigami Eyes.
