You heard me right: I have zero depth perception. Don’t get me wrong, I can see three-dimensionally, just like you. However, I can’t perceive what people call “different sides to a complex argument.” To me, things are either right or they’re wrong. Like, murder is always wrong. Easy! Do unto others. Killing someone is bad, unless they’re on your property. Stay in your country—better yet, your town, focus on aiding your neighbors. Help the poor, but only if you’ve confirmed they were helping themselves. Stay in your lane. See? Life is really pretty black and white. Hmm—perhaps I’m colorblind too.
