I think it was obvious they meant the condition of blindness cant't be worse.
- account42 1y agoBut then it's also obvious that this is an irrelevant argument because other things very much can get worse. It's not like becoming blind would be the primary concern of a non-blind person getting a brain implant.
- jibal 1y agoNo, that's obviously not obvious, since the person you responded to thought otherwise.
- fracus 1y ago"I" think was obvious
- jibal 1y agoAnd you are wrong, as noted. If you mean "it was obvious to me", that's a different matter ... but it's also irrelevant.
- fracus 1y agoIt isn't always pragmatic to account for the 5% of people who misinterpret what is being said or who aren't able to contextualize because they are stupid. We've all misinterpreted obvious things before. It isn't that big of a deal.
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoYes, this is what I meant.
- justin66 1y agoI can imagine some rather catastrophic negative outcomes from novel new brain surgery techniques, even if the blindness were not somehow made worse.
