I have to write a newsletter just to comment on all the things I want to comment on!

It is so nice to hear about your life - and it is so good that I happened to be on Substack on this Saturday morning.

You explained 3D vision very well - as I understand it, 3D vision requires 3 components - eye axis that are not parallel, 2 working eyes and a brain to integrate. Essentially it works, because your eye axis are not parallel. As a result, each of your 2 eyes gets a picture from a slightly different angle. This system works well as long as the axis is not parallel and both eyes work.

I have a friend with parallel eye axis. He can't see in 3D but didn't know that he had a "defect" until his mid 30s. At that time they gave him glasses those made him nauseous. So he didn't wear them even after they were prescribed. He did just fine without them and probably made accommodations for himself like you are.

My other friend with 3D issues has them, because one of her eyes is weaker than the other. She shunned corrective lenses for a while and one eye "turned off" in her brain. They caught it and they tried to retrain the eyes, but it never went back to 100%.

Regarding the sword swallower, I shared an online course with a friend. I had no problem with her using all of my materials. I gave her access to the whole thing and was fine with her using all of it. But she copy/pasted my announcements together with my voice - not just the information - the voice and personality - and that made me mad!

Steal all you want - but don't steal me.

My eyes have this thing where they also flip back and forth very fast. I don’t look through both at the same time. I alternate really fast between them. My brain can’t make sense of all that information, so shuts out about 1/2 of it or something. It’s called “Suppression.”

Wow - I can’t believe you’re okay with that person stealing all your work & content. I’m glad you were angry about the voice though! Did you tell her she couldn’t do any of that? I can’t believe she did that. Yuck. How did it end up? Did she say she was sorry & fix what she did?

I guess I don’t understand this “eyes are not parallel” thing. Maybe next time we chat in person, you and I can draw pictures for each other until I understand what you’re saying !!! Please?
