Cookie Thread Act 3: The Cookie Strikes Back

So like when you close one eye what happens

Literally nothing changes besides my pov being smaller on my left or right side

Wait I may have a larger pov because of this

I’m better than you all I can see more than you guys can maybe!

There’s no absolute failure state except being dead, and if you’re dead you aren’t conscious to know you’ve failed. If you’re not dead and you’re not inmediately about to be dead then everything is fine. And there are very few scenarios, no matter what your brain tells you, where you are immediately about to be dead

Who the hell is this guy in tolcord

if I close one eye and don’t move my head, nothing

but if I look at new stuff (with one eye still closed), everything looks closer than it actually is

oh also do you have glasses
and if so do they make things look closer/farther

I have glasses that I should be wearing but don’t

Closer?

it’s been… many months? over a year?? since I wore my glasses so i’m not fully sure, but iirc they distort depth

litten do you also have amblyopia?

I think a lot of the people who worry like that kid does also kind of lack perspective. On things. Who have lived their lives surrounded by 1. Other teenagers who have not yet had the chance to Succeed or Fail and 2. Adults who have Succeeded, or who they at least perceive as having Succeeded. So the idea of Failure is just a black void. Not getting into med school may as well be death. But life goes on!

If it’s lazy eye yes
I don’t know if I still have it but I assume so if it’s like one eye doing all the heavy work
they had to do laser surgery and eye patches but one eye is still weaker
and they can’t look at the same thing at the same time
