A single father of five! Much respect
Rey I know, it must be hard being him, becaues it hard taking care of kids by yourself, but imagine being blind and taking care of 5 kids!
Xx_EnderBot_x X he gets lots of money from his disability plus he has care givers.
And he is blind!
Why? Women do it all the fucking time
Liv Lab Only in movies, their are dads who are single with kids and their are mom who are single with kids.
Blind people describe to an artist what they imagine they look like
Cool idea! They’d have to block them off though or just communicate through an earpiece and then do a big reveal. Otherwise, ya know... the artist would see their faces lol
heyy supernatural
yes
that be sad but reaally col good idea
Lumos /* Supernatural!!!
no matter where you put the green shirt dude, he always give the best answer :)
Fiona Fidela what does ‘the green shirt dude’ look like as i am colourblind i can’t tell
AlfietheGreat? The first dude appeared in this video :)
Fiona Fidela literally
Fiona Fidela ikr he's so adorable omg he's my favorite 💕💕😭
I can feel how genius he is!
That man feeling his children's face for growth changes got me oh geeze
Morgan Laudarowicz Yeah that got me too!
yeah that one fucked me up. He even said he was blind for only nine years so imagining how everything looks like based on memory is...wow.
Morgan Laudarowicz Yeah. Especially since he used to be able to see. Being born blind is unfortunate but if you were able to see at one point in your life then you lose that ability that must be even more devistating.
ik 😭😭😭 he touched me
Saddening
Damn bro I ain't taking this shit for granted anymore.
IKR imagine being blind and not knowing what the world looks like and what colours looks like, I would go fucking crazy trying to find out. Mad respect to the blind.
Liar
Omar Ibrahim for real
idk i mean most of these people gave varied responses from "i would find it too difficult to relearn the world" to "yeah i want to see but not for the reason people think". it gets irritating after a while of hearing people say this shit bc i can talk for a long time ab my disabilities and this is some ppl's response and its like.... well nice to know your main takeaway still centers mostly around yourself
Omar Ibrahim yeah same
"I'm a single father of five, I wish I could see their tears"
Luke Scheponik This brought me to tears
AmIB0ss that's clearly not what he meant.
ItsKellyLouise lol it's not even what he said
I get what he meant but as a side note: when you have super hyperactive young kids sometimes you kinda do in a sinister way. Like when you say don't touch the stove and they do it anyway. Just a tiny part of you chuckles as you apply that neosporin band-aid.
that part was so poetic fuck me dead
That guy who said that he might have seen his hand was really interesting...
TheTrueWalker scientest actually experimented something similar to what that guy said, in fact you can do what he just experienced by closing your eyes and wearing a blind fold but there should be conditions
Once when I was a child I was playing a game with a friend on a trampoline where one of us would shut our eyes and try to find the other person. I turned towards the sun and despite my eyes being shut I could sort of tell where he was from a 'shadow'. I know I have proper vision so it may not be the same, but I found that comment really interesting.
hmm that sounds interesting
well you can see the shadow meaning you have a representation of what dark and light are, but he can't see anything (I presume) which is even weirder...
The next daredevil
This is honestly so fascinating
When he said he would wanted to see his daughter walk down the aisle I cried
And now he really has a daughter
3:45
He may have actually seen his hand, the eclipse has a funny effect on shadows they become very very sharp so if he has light sensitivity he may have been able to differentiate the outline of his hand against the sun.
I can imagine the sudden sharpness would have been nauseating since an increase in resolution would tell your brain either you just ingested poison or that you are swaying more than usual.
That’s actually cool
Maybe that’s the start to helping them be able to see that would be a neat thing to do
@@Sean_0109 No, staring at the sun like that is awful for your eyes, actually, it would permanently damage them after long exposure, so best not to do that. Even if they are blind, it's best they don't go staring directly into UV lighting lol
Adrianna well I meant it as it’s neat that he felt some sort of sensation from it and maybe that can do something similar in helping fix their vision
NotAsian s
that was so weird when she aid royal blue because she's wearing royal blue
You're right. I didn't notice that.
she knows that
She probably knows that and likes blue and thinks royal blue is a more sophisticated blue.
Blind people know what theyre wearing lmao. You know that right?
Let's have on mind that sounds and looks cool, of course you want fancy stuff on you. Like fucsia, come on, sounds amazing.
The guy in the green should have his own show
jnasofly
Yess!! I agree, he’s so sweet and interesting
jnasofly he has a RUclips channel
When he said he wishes he could see his wife's face I wondered what she looked like. Some quick research and she is very supportive of him. He is a great musician and she seems like a really nice lady who is great for him and his needs.
Yes his name is Mac Potts
Wow, I can't fathom not being able to see colors. Wow, just wow. I wonder what life is like not knowing colors.
Crumb Reth well, i am colourblind but I only have deutranopia, even though apparently it is extreme. I can see colour, however they will be different to what you see, anything with red, green or grey seem to be effected and lot’s of greens look grey and brown, same with reds, also, for some reason, grey seems to be more accented, i know that this it not exactly what you asked and it had more to do with the video and monochromacy, when you only see black, white and grey, but i hope this helped a little
AlfietheGreat? That helped, mainly because you taught me something new. Ive never heard of this until now. It's only 6:15am and I already learned something new.
Crumb Reth wow, that is a huge time difference
AlfietheGreat? It's 7:05am now, what time is it there? 8pm?
Abbigayle B well, all you need to do is research pictures of what is would look like to a colourblind person next to a normal persons vision
I just can't stop thinking that if you were born blind how do you explain the concept of seeing? I mean you are trying to describe a completely different sense. I mean I can see how over time with association and feeling different shapes you could pick up the concept but if I was born blind, as a child I would find the idea really confusing and overwhelming
If they are completely blind they would usually not be able to understand the concept of seeing accurately. There have been people that have regained sight after never having seen, but they are usually unable to fully understand the experience even then, and some have even had mental breakdowns or said they would rather go back to being bling because it can be so overwhelming to suddenly have so much new stimuli occurring at the same time. Sight is very wide-reaching.
Martha Heggs yeah like.. how would you explain colour. textures, shapes, temperature. but colour??? light??? difference of day and night.. racism lol
Martha Heggs same
Nate O.
-Wow. Informative.
@@flufferpants4812 You can explain, and a blind person can feel and experience, texture, shapes, and temperature. But, color, yes, that's something altogether different. I don't know...you'd have to ask a blind person how they understand and interpret color and black and white.
A blind single father of 5 ...
Wow props to that guy
I love Mack he always seems sweet
When he said about the eclipse wow
I hardly ever cry, but this got me.
1:25 "[I have] beautiful children, wish I could see their faces; their smiles, their tears, the facial expressions."
So many people in the comments section are pissed at the girl in blue for not being ashamed of her condition. It's really weird.
preach
Wrong. We are pissed because she's a bitch.
Anaksunamun _ "Hey, kettle? It's me, pot. By the way, you're black."
Not really, that’s a rude and invasive question to ask someone who will never be able to see their mother.
eilidh macleod Exactly
I want to see what that guys wife looks like
Jake Rice probably bad ash he's a player
shes quite pretty her insta is: eighthnote
Check out his instagram macPottsmusic he's an awesome guy
I was just thinking that 😂
So does he.
Without my glasses I can see color and blurred shapes unless the object is inches from my face. It's hard to imagine trying to get things done just without my glasses - I can't imagine what it's like to see nothing at all. I think my biggest fear would be other people. I hope you are all treated kindly and with respect. It made me sad when I heard that sometimes people just walk by or try and be quiet like they don't exist. So rude~!
Isangelous same
Isangelous same
Same I'm 22 and can't see properly without my glasses . It's Very Scary.
I have heard of and experienced healing while reading the Bible out loud so definitely do that every day. Look up healing scriptures or maybe all the Bible is healing I don't know. There are times me or my family didn't get healing until I tithed you can try that too ,just never stop tithing. Play Christian 'healing prayer' utube videos as much as you need to, I get healed when I play them. Benny Hinn has good ones. There are many good Christian utube channels that have them. 🤗🙏
@@sierrasiennasavahnadesertn6605 blindness can't be cured by religion, get out of here with that insensitive bullshit.
but my *wife* was like . . . .
HE'S MARRIED?!?!!!!
goran's mom why is that so weird to u?
emina i didn't say it was weird nor did my comment mean anything offensive. i just initially thought that hes really really young. i thought he was like 19 so hearing that he's married just caught me off guard ✨
goran's mom oh well, yea some get married at young age. i just read your comment in a different way lol
@@notdoingmeth6579 ummm.. they're married because they love each other?
Zafira Prado he even has a child :)
So strange that person with vision can go crazy if they lose their sight, but if you are born blind seems you can go about happy and not even miss it. People who are well adjusted, after losing their sight at some point of their lives deserve all our respect. Really brave people.
ikr. I wouldnt want my vision taken from me, cuz i want to see this beautiful world we living in.
You can't miss something you've never had. This is the only reality they know.
The young guy in green and the black man in grey had the loveliest answers. I hope someday they will have the joy of seeing their children.
I started crying at 1:30 😭
Yasin Sari don’t pity us blind people please we have happy healthy lives just like the rest of you
Tori Andres are you blind?
Yasin iras I’m also blind stop pitying blind people we are happy
Emma Elizabeth how did you know how to type then
Reverze Gaming blind people can touch type also we have screen readers for computers and phones
The guy in the green shirt gave me so much emotion
The father seeing his daughter walking down the aisle thing somehow really got me 😢
I appreciate blue shirt girl’s honesty. In the video about beauty she talks about being superficial and here she says she’d want to see not necessarily for some poetic reason (like seeing one’s future kids) but because being blind is a pain in the ass and seeing would make day to day life easier. Very blunt and real.
The man talking about his children and seeing their faces was so beautiful that I actually cried. And the green shirted man's eclipse experience was very interesting to hear about.
When the young woman described reading text on a page...that really affected me. I really don’t even have words for it. Just enlightening to hear their perspective! We take our sight for granted!
Same, that one struck me too
@2:53 but my wife...
😭💔 *shatterings of my heart *
Ikr, I wish he could see how cute he is
lilquartz yeah..
you’re sad that he has a wife? What the hell
watching this made me think that, it's the same for both blind people and people who can see. we are afraid of things we dont know. like we are afraid to lose our eyesight because we're scared that we wont know how to live in a state that we're not used to. and these blind people also said that they're also scared to be able to see because it's something they have no idea about. i find this facinating
I was walking on campus, and a blind person was asking out loud if somebody could help. So I stopped, and he asked where the train station was. I said it was right in front of him, and offered to lead him there, then he says "I didn't ask for that." His response took me by surprise because he said it in a rude tone.
Maybe blind people don't want the feeling of having to rely on others. Regardless, it made me feel bad for the rest of the day.
Don’t worry, he want to learn by himself but I can see that as rude but don’t feel bad about it lol
I don't get this attitude don't ask for help if you don't want it you did nothing wrong
PARKSUN some can be rude just ignore I am blind myself
Everyone should want to see, we just don't realize how beautiful our world is. A lot of blind people wouldn't want to see again because blindness is all they've known.
Damn it’s so cool to be reminded how different our perspectives are. Like at 4:35 she talks about how fascinated she is of the thought of those who can see being able to focus on a single line of text when reading, and then other people (like me) are extremely fascinated that they can read Braille and just use their fingers for little tiny dots. Like I never thought that someone would be fascinated by something like that but at the same time it makes perfect sense.
Such an eye opening (sorry) video. It's actually really interesting to hear this perspective. I've worked a bit with foreign language education, and one thing that almost shattered my mind, was when I found out that dyslexia doesn't exist in Chinese. Like literally doesn't exist. Because the Chinese writing system is not based on an alphabet, but on characters, the cognitive processes for reading are different. So what I experienced were talented Chinese students, who had never had trouble reading, starting to learn English and suddenly becoming "disabled". I imagine it's a similar feeling for blind people - blindness is only a disability if the world makes it so.
Wow. His story about the eclipse moment. That was very interesting. Good thing to know that even though he is blind. Light sensitivity is there.
This is why everyone that’s not blind should appreciate that they have their vision 💯
I love the guy in the green
AJ he loves you too
Who doesn't?
Man I never truely realized how greatfull we should be, by having things like vision for example, deep deep respect for these people and how they going on with everything
I was rlly hoping green shirt guy was single but happy he found love
The man with five kids made me cry 😭
I pray for a better future for his kids 😢😥😭😭😭😭😭
Previous video: "what questions do blind people hate being asked? 'Do you wish you could see?'"
Current video: "lets ask them if they wish they could see"
At 3:35 he said that he thought he saw his hand... That could be a possibility. Even if your eyes aren't transmitting to your brain completely to see things, your eyes can defiantly still take in everything that you'd normally see and give that information to your brain.
They had a study of a guy that "Couldn't see" but when cards with pictures and colors were shown to him and he had to guess what it was, I think he drew them or somthing, he was right every time.
"defiantly"
Honestly, I’m pretty scared that I’ll end up going blind, and I think that’s why most people ask this question. I’m scared because I think the world is a beautiful looking place, nature is absolutely gorgeous, and I’d hate to have that taken away from me.
I remember Tommy Edison (blind movie critic on youtube) once said that he didn't understand the difference between looking and staring. He said he's been told that staring is rude but he doesn't understand why, ever since I heard that it still blows my mind.
"I know my mom, I don't need to see her face to know her"
That sounds a lot like internet friendships and relationships.
You don't need to see someone's face if you can touch someone
I cried. I never realized how grateful and lucky i am to see
The way the green shirt guy explained suddenly being more aware of his hand..
I wonder what that meant to him, being more "aware"...I wonder if he perhaps saw a shadow or something?
@@luhe8 ya there might have been some remnants of the visual system that slightly caught a difference
“green grass, blue sky...I don’t really know what that means”. I can’t fathom or understand the concept of not knowing how things look...or not understanding colour, it’s so crazy
Rather be deaf than blind
Hollie Mae ohhh no what is all about the great music? :0 a live without music seems impossible for me :D
Lol do you spend even 1% of your life listening to music? You spend almost every waking second seeing. No contest.
Marxist Alpha but music is so beauuuutifuuuuuulllllll. i mean, yea, seeing would probably have more convenience and there is also scenic beauty, but i guess in my case, i'd rather go blind than lose music. i love music too much.
agree :)
Even deaf people listen to Music. They feel the vibrations of the Beat
If I was born blind and then could suddenly see, I’d be freaked out. I would have this whole idea in my head about what things “look” like and then I’d see them in real life, and they wouldn’t look anything like what I imagined. That would be more scary than anything. It’s like reading a book and then seeing the movie.
The girl reminds me of summer from Rick and morty
SaltyStoinkyDoinky ha
I knew I wasn’t the only one thinking it lol
Chris was thinking in calm way in his dreams. The eye rolling thing was really painful.
Colourblind people try colourblind correcting glasses!
okay.
No.
Color*
Jacob Cherry Colour* not everybody spells it your way :)
Those glasses only work for some people, not everyone unfortunately
my grandmother lived with my parents (and me) for decades. glaucoma caused her to be totally blind at about 30 years old so she was blind all the time i knew her. she was totally self-sufficient. she could recognize our breathing pattern or walking style before we came into a room and greeted us - always correctly. she listened to the news on the radio for hours each day and carried on intelligent conversations. she organized her closet by the texture of the fabric and knew what went w what and what was casual vs not. she cleaned the house; washed the dishes. my mother did the cooking but she would boil water for tea.
i once asked her about her dreams since she hadn't seen for decades and she told be her dreams reflected what things looked like when she was sited. cars from the '30s, etc. i would be curious about the dreams of people who never had sight.
she very rarely asked for help and got around the three level house w no difficulty - memorizing the position of each piece of furniture.
when she fell and broke her him and eventually, at about the age of 90, had to be placed in a home where she would get care - the she had to go through an interview with a staff member to make sure her mind was sound. she was asked basic questions like what year is it, who is the president, where does she live, etc. after about three questions she said -"stop asking me these stupid questions - i know what is going on in the world - asked me questions that you need me to answer because you do not know the answer." wow! she lived in that home (hebrew home for the aged in the bronx) until she dies at 102.
living with her gave me a real appreciation and respect for blindness. years later, as a leadership and team consultant i did pro bono work the the AFB - american foundation for the blind - founded by helen keller. my first meeting with the president of the afb was in keller's office with all her furniture and braille books . i was truly humbled. i met so many fantastic blind people there - smart, capable, funny, very normal.
my only regret is that my grandmother never learned braille and was not alive to take advantage of all the benefits of today's technology like the apple watch and iphone, ipad, etc. nonetheless, she never complained and when i had friends over (i lived with her until college) after a few minutes they would lean over to me and ask me if my grandmother was blind - it was so natural to me that i didn't even think to mention it to my friend.
talking about wishing he could see his daughter walk down the aisle really got to me.
These videos are fucking me up! My mom and dad are both blind, and every one of these folks has said things that I've heard my parents say. My heart, y'all!
When Mack talks about seeing his future daughter walk down the aisle 😢😢😢
I wish they asked people who were only partially blind or short sighted, would be way more interesting imo
"If I had a daughter, I'd want to be able to see her walk down the aisle in a beautiful dress." That got me, cause that really is an important moment you'd want to be able to see. T_T
My dad lost partial vision due to a surgeon who was novice. He lived the rest of his life using special eye drops and had a little piece of material implanted on his eye that would work as a windshield wiper. He never had any hard feelings towards the surgeon but sometimes it crushes me to know that his vision did not allow him to see his family clearly. I wish I could feel more at ease about this and your video has made this impact.
can blind people see john cena? because they make a double negative
asking the real questions
Haha
the thing the guy in the green shirt described about his hand could be blindsight - perception of motion vs image is actually controlled by different nerves so blind people can perceive motion and sometimes dont even realize it. its really fascinating.
I’m blind and I wish I could see my family‘s faces again
You're beautiful, and I believe you will one day !
Wow. Im in med school trying to be a doctor and eventhough I've met visually impaired people i now see that my view was skewed because the people who came to me were already people who needed medical assistance. So, of course i thought of it as a form of illness that i wanted to eliminate and give everyone vision but some people are perfectly fine and even embrace their blindness and it truly has made me think twice about this in a broad way. Thank you for making this video. I hope i can completely change my view on that
If I could I would borrow them my eyes for a year for them to witness the things I take for granted maybe then I'd be more thankful for the lil things
Don’t take this the wrong way please, but it is interesting to watch their eyes. They just wander. I know why, I just find it amazing.
1:32 “I wish I could see my children’s tears” 😐
Fascinating. My mind has always been completely blown when thinking about people who were born blind. How do they even comprehend what it is to "see?" The people in this video keep saying the word "see," but what do they actually think "seeing" is? Or what is vision/sight in their minds? Absolutely fascinating and heartbreaking at the same time.
THE GUY IN LIGHT GREEN SHIRT SOUNDS JUST LIKE SPENCER FROM CRIMINAL MINDS!
Omg the guy talking about his kids freaking broke my heart so much like so much crap people take for granted everyday it's ridiculous but honestly sometimes I think having a disability humbles you in ways people don't understand. And gives you patience with like and a different perspective and a life you wouldn't really want to change because that's your identity that's you I get it
The guy with the green shirt should start a RUclips channel because I really like him. Like if you agree
The man in the green shirt and the man wearing glasses were so chill, they gave sincere and well thought out answers. The other two were definitely in an irritated mood and give off a pissed off vibe, probably because they're sick of people questioning their blindness.
Please please feature Tommy Edison The Blind Film Critic. He is hilarious!
I really like the two guys in the dark grey shirts - they are both so matter of fact and just explains things clearly and succinctly so you know where their stance is coming from.
One says "I've never had usable vision" so you know right away where he's coming from.
The same in the video on racism.
CLICKED IT AS SOON AS I SAW THE WORD "BLIND" CAUSE YOU KNOW THE GUY IN THE GREEN SHIRT. HE'S HOT AF😍😍😍
"facepalm"
I just meet a blind person and he told me that he wouldn’t have it any other way him being blind because he gets to know people from the inside and that made me so emotional 😭 he had a bubbly personality very nice person ❤️
3:35 Wow thats so weird
I don't know if that's just me, but watching blind people talk moves me a lot because of how authentic they are. They seem to be more honest, direct and even naive, not trying to be cool and not wearing social masks like we all do. That makes me admire them and want to learn that from them.
the guy in the green shirt reminds me of this one young dancer from america’s got talent. but like an older version lol. i like the dancers name was Malici.
2:56 that annecdote was awsome
Watch Cut! You guys should make a deaf people meet blind people video. Could be interesting
how would they even interact?
interpreter
These people are probably more grateful then 90% of the world
2:52 buh buh buh ur wife 😭😭😭 NOOO THERE NO HOPE💔
I actually envy blind people. Like imagine connecting with people off of pure vibration and not seeing the toxic world we live in😫😫
I don't know why everybody hate the girl in blue, i actually likes her.
juste kevin Same, she seems fine.
She's rude
A likely explanation for when the guy with the green shirt was talking about the eclipse was that he probably had just lost visual input to the CONSCIOUS part of his brain, and so through those openings in his eyelids his brain would have noticed the proximity of an object in front of him saying to his conscious self that there is something about to hit him in the head or something. They talked about it in an episode of mind field, the show with michael stephens in it, i believe the episode was divergient minds
Uploads a video asking blind people what annoying questions they get asked.
Uploads a second video asking them if they wish they could see.
city and the problem with that is?
Hahaha
These answers really strike a chord in me. I'm autistic, and can't imagine what it would be like to experience the world any other way, and I'm not sure that I'm particularly interested--for *many* of the same reasons.
You can´t fucking lose your identity, It changes gradually over time and therefore if she could see. Her identity would change she would not lose it.
Well done to you both.
What tf are you talking about? Leo Joey.. Of course it is a shame that they have this disability, but that doesn´t stop people of what they are saying, if they are incorrect they are and we should call everybody out.
Learn how to write a sentence where people understand, please otherwise it leads to confusion.
But yes, being Blind is a part of their identity, when they became blind their identity changed.
Ever been blind? No? I can help you forge your new identity.
Well, does it count when I am sleeping or close my eyes? If not no.. what kind of question is that? Fornwith
Well you apparently did not listen I can´t get a new identity, just change it. What of my answer did you not understand?
I agree. I have Generalized anxiety disorder and it has nothing to do with my identity. Get rid of it!
Wow... such gorgeous people.. and they will never know how beautiful they all are
Mac Potts story 😭💛
The green shirted guy is too adorable!!!😍😍😍 The way he describes that he want to see his daughter on her wedding walking her down the aisle makes me wanna tear up!!!😭😭😭
I wonder what people who have never seen befores perception of sight is
I’m so sad for these people but I’m proud of how positive they are and how well they are coping .
Next up asking amputees if they'd rather have their limbs back
Man when they said they might loose a piece of them, their identity that really made me change my outlook.
The first guy is cute
Karis Howsia well what about me?
YoungBlaze Of Chitown
Ehh
The thought of seeing nothing is crazy. Not darkness. Just nothing. Mind blown.
