Debunking Fire reveal cakes, colour blind glasses & 5 minute crafts 

Yeah, she really started preparing for this video a long time ago!

Proper cooking show form. "Here's one I prepared earlier."

😂😂😂 "It's been exposed to the elements for 18 years!"

Any good chef always has a stocked pantry. 😂

wheezing 😂

We stan character development.

I like the character development and level ups🏆

Yes, and we love her for it! Well, I do. But I do still like seeing her cooking videos as well.

I feel a bit guilty for enjoying the debunking so much when they're done by such a great chef. I just hope she enjoys making them too.

Apparently, she has seen how much this kind of content is needed. I wish more popular creators like her would step up to counter-act this epidemic of misinformation.

LMAO

Aussies amirite?

😂😂😂

​@@GenJuhru We do live in the country with listed top dangerous animals pf the world, one of them being mothers.

@@qwmx but nothing's as vicious as those tasmanian drop bears, a cross between koalas and wolverine (the comicbook character)

I respect your willingness to roll with what you assumed your son's fashion choices were. A bit ironic that he checks whether colors are "manly" now, after never having that impressed upon him as relevant. He still likes his bright oranges either way!

That actually made me laugh, Ty for sharing what a funny situation that was

Woah, that definitely never happened

Between noticing colour vs having boundless confidence… it’s a shame he knows now!

To be fair without Ann I wouldn't even know that someone was shooting. Luckily for me I often learn about this type of content from her informative debunking videos.

If someone offered me $1mil to watch that kind of content for a week, I would turn it down and laugh at them.

@@Setsurafulif that ever happens please contact me as soon as possible. I would love to grab a million in exchange for losing just few of the neurons I have left.

Those videos are exactly the kind of kind of video that I keep clicking "not interested", but the algorithm refuses to learn that I hate it. I thought the algorithm was supposed to suggest things to keep me engaged, not things to make me rage quit.

​@@GermanSausagesAreTheWurstDude, the algorithm wants his carp to be pushed thats why you keep seeing his face. He makes YT money so they'll push his slimy lying face where they can.

My guy is an asshole and always will be no matter all the "apologies" he has given. I just dont get why people are still watching him.

Because his audience is kids

There's a thin, almost invisible, line between scam artists and influencery

Social media like RU-vid and Tiktok are also very complicit in keeping people like Logan Paul relevant because they can lie to and scam to their audience as long as they make money for the platforms.

No clue but I know that clip was from like five years ago or some thing

As a biologist, the glasses always baffled me. What do you mean, now they see the colours? The receptors ain't there!

⁠@@lenaeospeixinhosThey’re for people who have all 3 types of cone cells.

Would it work with those old 3d glasses? Like, one side filters out red color and one filters out green, and your brain learns to tell the difference? It would probably look super stupid and doesn’t seem really necessary, but that should be working, right?

​@@lenaeospeixinhos As someone that messed with graphics, it makes no sense even on a mathematical level. If you filter a color, you can't put it back with any other function, now other colors are just shades of the same color. A simple way to prove that to everyone is that when you make your picture monochromatic, you can't add the color back to it again, luminance is not enough to distinguish colors. Alias, cuida dos peixinhos ai, haha...

@@BlueberryDragon13 No because luminance wouldn't make both distinguishable. I mean, in monochromatic, a yellow color will look different than red, but a dark or lighter red will look identical to yellow.

There is a rare, specific kind of color blindness those glasses actually help. They depend on you having **some** ability to differentiate all colors and amplify that a lot by filtering out overlapping colors. But if your color blindness is severe enough, all they do is make everything darker.

Wow. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

If you see a color incorrect, you see it incorrect. I have bad eyesight and if someone would come to me and say "YoU just SeE the WoRlD dIfFeReNtLy, who am I to say you are wrong" I would slap you. Stop infantalising everything

​@@kiiltochii1607 Like when Neil Tyson was like I can't say that having one arm isn't normal or something to that effect. And it's like but it's not? Humans have two arms, if one only has one, that's not normal, it's different...

That reminds me of my grandfather. When my mom was a kid, he bought this grey paint that she thought was ugly, and he used it to paint the dollhouse he built for her along with other furniture he built. Eventually she asked him why he used that color, thinking maybe that paint had been on sale or something. His response was that he painted it that color because it was his favorite color: green.

Agreed, most of the videos are relative and friends saving up to buy the glasses for people.

Isn't it nuts how they promote the removal (notching) of colour to let you see more haha. Like wearing dark glasses lets you see better in the dark...

reminds me of old tv ads that were advertising new tvs. like look how amazing this new tv looks although they are showing it to us on our supposedly old and inferior tv. only one that stands out to me was an old sharp ad where they played that trick but were self aware and said oh no, you cant see this amazing new image cause you havent yet bought our tv.

Which also adds an incentive for the recipient to 'fake' the reaction, so as not to disappoint the person who bought them.

You're 100% correct. They are marketed to family and that marketing is overstated. Years ago, we brought enchroma glasses for my brother, who is red/green and blue/purple color blind. We didn't expect they would 'fix' anything. But he does love them. They provide addition definition, and he still wears them whenever he goes outside to this day. Overstated and overpriced? Yes. Worth it? For him, also yes.

We first discovered he was color blind when he couldn't see a red ball on a green oval.

@@HowToCookThat It would be great if you covered MegaLag's coverage of the scam where he talked to various experts if the glasses work. He was attacked for another RU-vidr which was funded by Enchroma as well by firing a copyright strike.

​@@HowToCookThat One of my mates in primary school found out when he painted half of a rabbit brown, the other half orange :D

@@HowToCookThat how old was he on that moment?

@@blazechaos212 yes! he made a great investigation!

But the crayon was pink, what do you mean?

@@heatherduke7703 17:05 I'm talking about.

Oh yeah true! I forgot about that fun fact!

Just to add to that, the makeup used for black and white filming was colour shifted as well. Orange base colour, yellow highlights and green on the lips as red looked too dark. Random stuff you learn on t'internet :)

@@MrGrimsmithVery interesting! From what I learned in this video, a lot of those a simular to what a colourblind person sees.

What did he see the colour as? Red?

One of my friends realized he was blue-purple colorblind when we were in med school 😂 we were studying the physiology of the eye (rods and cones wavelength and such) and the textbook had the Ishihara test and he was like why is one of the circles empty or something like that and we were all like there is a number there, his mind went straight to the whole class is pranking me rather than thinking he could be colorblind 😂😂😂. Goes to show that is really not a big deal and there are thousands of adults going around in life that don't even know they're colorblind, the glasses are a total scam

I have that type of colorblindness (there are 7 different types total. Mine is called Protanotomy), and it’s just hard to distinguish reds/oranges, and some pink shades too. Reds are more brown and orange is more red. Found out when i was 6 and was making Christmas decorations brown & green. And it’s interesting because I’m a girl, and it’s rare in women. My mom has the same type as me though! Pretty neat

Acting skills? More like just blatant lying skills!!

To be fair, he's a horrible actor.

"oops I have to fake this to get money" straight to "I'm going to laugh about how I faked that to get more money". Maybe he's changed his tone over the years, but he hasn't changed

I have to admit, I didn't think Logan could act. So I was impressed by the acting, but no the fakery.

Doodle Date, the couple of artists that made the video used at the end where the guy tries to differentiate the paint pucks, also made a joke about that when Adam tried these glasses (he very quickly made it clear that it wasn't the least impressive)

That was great

Wouldn't colorblind people be able to pass those number tests more with those Enchroma glasses?

Yes that was fascinating. Colour me impressed :)

I'd watch a whole video of your son comparing colors, and explaining his experience

​@@newttella1043probably, because it blows up those specific colours, but at the expense of others

We who can see the human color range take it for granted, as a artist I love finding lovely colors for my work. But I know there are artists who are colorblind and still make great pieces of art.

There is a rare, specific kind of red-green color blindness those stupid glasses actually allow to see more colors. They depend on you having *some* ability to distinguish all colors, and filter out the red-green overlap to create more situations where one kind of cone cell is activated without the other. So it is possible, but not likely enough he has the correct disorder to make it worth ordering.

Purple if I remmeber correctly is a "made up" color. Like our brain interprets that set of light waves as purple. So I could see a firework display somehow tricking the brain into showing purple suddenly. I can't imagine how amazing it'd be to see a new color as an adult though!

@@seeing8spots yeah i'm moderately colour-blind and purple is always kind of a mystery to me. Sometimes i can see it as a different colour but most of the time it's just a darker blue. One time when i was a kid my parents were redecorating my bedroom and asked me what colour i wanted it. I said blue. So they took me to the diy store to pick out my paint and i saw one i really liked, but they said thats not blue that's purple. But i really liked it so i insisted on having that paint. So i ended up having an extremely purple bedroom for most of my childhood :p. But it looked fine to me

😂

^^this!! We call it 'plastic cheese 🧀🤢

😂🤣

Btw did you know that processed cheese is the best cheese? 🧀

Please im dutch you just started something else

Exactly, now you can send them this video so they don't buy them for you.

I would like to see more colourblind artists just working with colours as they see them instead of checking labels. Just thinking about what amazing forest scenes you might create in my eyes when you don't care about red and green.

I feel you so much. I'm not colourblind but I do have disabilities and my mom constantly offer to order things to "help" or "cure" it and doesn't understand why I refuse everytime. So I know how tiring this is.

As someone who fell for the marketing and said the same to one of my colorblind friends I'm sorry. I forgot that businesses love to lie. :(

@@HowToCookThatMy flatmate has been trying to get a bunch of friends together to chip in for these glasses for a friend of ours, and I've been trying to talk him out of it. I sent him some debunking videos, but they were long and possibly a bit too sciencey for his attention span. Now I sent him this and I'll sit on him until he watches it and swear that he won't waste money on snake oil.

This... they're not fake, but only work for a specific rare disorder

So its a medical aid that lay people got confused about how much it can do and how many things it can help?

@@kurotsuki7427 People didn't get confused, they got actively lied to, if they work for 5% of colorblind people but you market it to all 100% of them as a cure, you're scamming 95% are you not?

​@@kurotsuki7427 it's not simply that "lay people got confused", more like "the agressive marketing was made specifically to trick lay people". Just like most scams.

Same

I had a work buddy in an art department, of all places, who was Red/Green CVD. He made it work by using the color names, but occasionally you just forget about it and ask him how your layout design looks. . .

@@primmoore6232 ...I mean, super weird thing to gloat about though. You just got lucky that this particular guy couldn't process maroon or green so your weird-ass assumption worked out.

@@grabble7605calm down lmao

Wow, that's really really rare! :O

@@grabble7605 you're the weird one.

I think its telling that this is their marketing - its not "See new colours", most colourblind people get along just fine, and its not like the glasses allow you to do things you can't do (like be a pilot) with colourblindness, its "watch your colourblind friend/relative see more stuff" and it leans into their slightly... inspiration porn style video ads too. "Watch weird person see how good it is to be normal, gawk at the disabled person". It reminds me a lot of those videos of babies getting their cochlear implants switched on that are all "watch deaf baby hear his mother's voice for the first time" (and are actually, according to the feedback of people who got implants later in life, "watch confused and possibly stressed baby experience garbled and painful new sensory assault").

I think these glasses are more marketed to people who know someone that is colourblind. And seeing the difference makes them empathise and think how horrible it would be for themselves if they would suddenly miss out on all those colours.

😂😂I never though of that!

Wait, these glasses are literally a "see what it's like to be colorblind?@@HolandaChiquita

​@@AJ-ht3kfno they are supposed to make people who are colorblind see like normal, but if you know how colorblindness works, it doesn't make sense because nothing you can do will make the non existent cones send the "hey this is red" signal to the brain. My mom got a pair for my dad to try and it was pretty underwhelming so we returned them. He said that it helped a little bit with the contrast between colors, so two colors that look nothing the same to us, but the same or very close to the same to my dad were slightly more distinguishable in certain color pairings but that was about it.

That why our Christmas tree has blue and silver decor.

@@HowToCookThatMy family does this sometimes, it looks really nice! Not for any specific reason though, we just like to switch things up sometimes. Also red and gold is another fave. Never tried it, but I think a white tree with blue and black decorations would look awesome.

My favorite art teacher was red-green colorblind! He tried out the glasses and was honestly unimpressed with them.

​​@@HowToCookThat where did you source the eye picture? Ideally, I'd like to find both versions of it ❤🖋️ 🎨📒

My dad is red green colorblind as well and while I carry the gene, I am not colorblind, however, I did pass it on to my son. I feel terrible about it every single day, especially after seeing an example of how he might see colors that I see as being beautiful and vibrant, as being drab, dull and muddled.

it'll be very peculiar how we humans are able to learn things even with our disabilities. It probably felt like learning a whole new language, learning something so fundamental to our daily life, and it is fascinating to see

I agree

I wonder what James was thinking about those small differences before learning he's colourblind. Did he noticed them before; is it something he picked up after the diagnosis?

Reminds me of how blind people navigate by sound, smell, etc. Contrary to popular belief, their sense organs don't get any stronger after losing their sight. They simply learn to better resolve the information those organs deliver to their brain. But that alone allows them to do some pretty remarkable things.

I'm also color blind. I have a pair of "color correction" sunglasses. And they actually do work..... kind of. They do make colors more vibrant for me, as well as allow me to see a much wider range of purples.

There is a rare, specific kind of color blindness those glasses actually help. They depend on you having **some** ability to differentiate all colors and amplify it by filtering out overlapping colors. But the vast majority of cases, they just make everything darker.

same! I had already watched MegaLag's excellent two part series on the glasses so didn't feel the need to watch this one (though Ann did her own take by having her son do that demonstration so it was still very worth it) and only clicked after the change of thumbnail and title

Me too. I didn't want to watch that but the flash paper bit, sure, why not.

yep! i’d already seen a couple colour blind glasses debunking but i was thinking about getting one of those fire cakes for my birthday but this kinda let me know drawbacks to having it. I might still do it but only if i could have it easily remove the top layer of the cake without destroying the design. It would be kinda like how you’d usually remove extra decorations for serving.

I literally didn't know until now. I don't watch every drawfee episode but enough of them over the years.

jacob is colourblind???

i was totally thinking ab jacob drawfee watching this!!

@@deetvleetyeah he is! He was doing a grounded stream once and chat was telling him to go the green grass to get water but he was just running around in the dead grass hella confused 😂 and then chat went oh yeah he’s red/green color blind

I recently, as part of my work, hosted an art exhibition by an artist who was colourblind- beautiful, evocative landscapes, some with lots of contrast, some with less. Viewers' reactions were immensely positive.

My colorblind daughter had already learned to look for motion or other differences, so when she learned scuba diving, she was ahead of the class. We depend on color for a lot but as you dive deeper the colors go away quickly. 15 ft down there is no more red (if I recall correctly). So while she could never be a pilot, for example, she was a great diver.

Several WWII heroes had to cheat on their eye exam to get into the military. An 8 time Olympic gold medal sharpshooter was initially turned down because he wore glasses, for example. Still a thing today. When my nephew joined the US Army, they knew he was red green colorblind. Then he later ran through Ranger school and passed. Until they re realized that he was red green colorblind again...

Damn, I hadn't realised that was because of Cleon XIV's colour blindness instead of just being another mutation, that's really fascinating!

I'm colourblind and found that, for some reason, I had less trouble finding wild blueberries in the field than my cousins did. now, wild raspberries were a completely different thing. to my eyes, they didn't even seem to exist!

Makes me think that maybe evolution wise it's not as much disability as it is advantage we developed during hunter-gatherer days. The same way some people are naturally night owls while some are early birds - would have been useful for night and day watchers in the past, etc. And blind people might have been good at listening for threats instead of seeing it. Kind of an interesting thought.

Thought a similar thing

Exploits children and becoming a millionaire, I don't believe in hell but he has probably earned a ticket.

Other than wrestling at least

I don't understand how they haven't been taken to court.

@@HowToCookThat I'd say it's most likely because going to court is expensive, and most online content creators really don't have the resources to pursue such a claim. I think it's also seen as something so widespread your never going to be able to prevent it from happening so there's a certain level of acceptance. I've seen a reaction video to one of Kyle Hill's where Hill himself posted a polite comment simply requesting that any future reactions not show the whole video. (which in this case was respected in subsequent postings on the same channel)

Kind of like SSSniperwolf? Reaction content is just trash.

@@HowToCookThat oh, SSSniperwolf, literally doxxed somebody, and RU-vid didn’t do shit about it. They don’t care as long as the content is making the money.

It's a shame, because even content creators who actually provide deep analysis from professional perspective have to dub it as "reaction" rather than "analysis" for the sake of algorithm.

James love to paint too and is a very good artist.

That is amazing!!

I follow a photographer for years who does amazing colorgrade on their photos and had no idea they are colorblind until someone asked how they do so as a colorblind person.

Yep. I have a friend I met in college. Lots of art in our study. I didn't know he was color blind until we were working on a 3D rendered scene and he had a candle with a green flame. I thought it was a design choice so didn't say anything. Another classmate pointed it out and then I realized. He said something along the lines of "why didn't you tell me it was green?" "I thought it was a design choice!" After that we'd all help make sure what he intended is what was there. There was another incident in our HTML class when he couldn't see the blue color shift when a hyperlink was hovered over.

From these comments it lightened my heart because in Indonesia, I remember in order to apply to Bachelor degree in design, you need to take colorblind test first and it's implied that those that did not pass will be automatically rejected. Bare in mind this is like 15 years ago and I don't know if they still made you do that. It's good to see that being colorblind did not hamper your ability to work with colors.

There is a rare, specific kind of color blindness those glasses actually help. They depend on you having **some** ability to differentiate all colors and amplify that a lot by filtering out overlapping colors. But if your color blindness is severe enough, all they do is make everything darker.

Red/Orange glasses are great for dyslexia but that's about it

Achromatopsia is exactly the Greek word for color blindness, it means "You can not see colors" Tritanopia which is also a Greek word means "you can not see the third color" the third color is blue.

My mother had a student who had no red color reception at all. If she used a red or pink marker on the overhead, he'd just quietly raise his hand and she'd rewrite everything because it was completely invisible to him. She was good about removing all the red markers, but sometimes she'd open a new pack in the middle of a lesson and just grab the first one she touched. Red colored chalk seemed to be okay since chalk is a physically white thing dyed, but every so often she'd come home laughing at herself about the overhead she wrote in invisible ink. It sucks that you got stuck with such a different experience. I'm not sure why anyone would doubt colorblind people about being colorblind. But I do remember being 5 and wondering how that kid dealt with all the invisible red things in the world. Teachers aren't 5. Neither is Logan Paul.

Are there effective treatments for either kind of colorblindness that make having a correct diagnosis needed?

No specific treatment, but there are glasses that can help depending on the cone or cones that are deformed or missing.

James coloured a bear in green in primary school.

Nothing wrong with green bears and foxes, I'd think they'd camouflage pretty well😊

​@yvonneburns2786 The same as red foxes do! Animals like deer only have 2 cones, making them pretty much red-green colourblind. That's why hunters often wear orange vests: They can spot each other but the deer can't.

@@HowToCookThat I bet that would've been even better at camouflaging itself in the trees than a brown bear.

My dad is red/green colorblind as well. Makes it a challenge buying him things sometimes, especially around Christmas. One year, we got these adorable Peanuts mugs to use around the holidays: red, with snoopy's doghouse and dark green text with a cutesy saying. We proudly showed them off to him when we got home... and he was so confused as to why we bought blank mugs. 😂

I have a colorblind coworker who does that too! He keeps a sticky note by his desk with the most common colors that our boss likes us to use in presentations and figures, written out in hex.

He's amazing 😀

And gorgeous, too!

@@HowToCookThat I can tell how proud you are of him, and quite right too!

I don't think colorblindness is a disability, it's just a unique way of seeing the world. It doesn't keep people from living and enjoying life, and I dare say that colorblind people wouldn't think they had a disability.

​@@Kawamura2I don't mean to be rude, just explaining: Colour blindness is per definition a disability, as one is 'not able' to see certain colours. This can affect a lot of aspects, e.g. making art creation more frustrating (whether that is personal when not being able to differentiate some colours or outside influences telling the person that their colour choices are "wrong") or take more time with certain things (like there's a whole bunch of tasks that involve colour identification in schools). It also actively prevents an individual from being able to take on certain jobs, e.g. pilot, astronaut, different military positions, police, firefighter etc., which is also displayed in the movie "Little Miss Sunshine", where the non-vocal brother discovers his colour blindness through coincidence and his lifelong dream of becoming a jet pilot shatters, causing him to break his silence and scream. I understand your intention is kindhearted, but in my opinion it's difficult to declare something as "not a disability" if you're not personally affected (and neither am I in this case; I don't mean to say that it must be a disability, just explaining that there are a lot of circumstances that may make it disabling for an individual.) Also important to consider that disability is not a bad term and describing truly disabling things as what they are is really important to help affected individuals and provide adequate support and understanding.

​@Kawamura2 it is a disability, a disability isn't a bad thing

@@Kawamura2 It is a disability because it makes you unable to do something an "average" (which I admit, is a flawed concept) person can - seeing a full spectrum of color. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing. A lot of completely blind people also don't consider themselves disabled, just having a different experience which is valid, but by definition, they are still disabled and can't see - which does have dangers associated with it, but of course is not bad by itself.

Like most things, it's probably their relatives wanting to "cure" them rather them wanting it for themselves. Colorblindness is something you are born with and only learn it's a big deal from people around you, it has some difficulties associated with it of course but most colorblind people don't care (unless they'd want a pursue a job that for safety reasons doesn't allow colorblind people)

This makes me wonder if you could just use actual marshmallows instead of frosting to seperate the two pictures! It might not look as neat as propping the top picture up with frosting, but it won't get the flash paper wet, and it will probably taste pretty good to anyone

So… that extra-Dutched cocoa used in Oreo cookies, that’s almost black, could be useful?

​@@Wischmopp95 That sounds like a good idea, lots of people like their marshmallows crispy.

I guess the flavor will wildly differ with different frostings. If you use Italian meringue which often gets toasted anyways then it probably will be pretty nice lol.

Are people just using their home printers for the image? I'd be concerned with eating the byproducts of that

they do work for a certain rare kind of colorblindness but not the common ones. they're not fake, but marketed predatorialy and incredibly oversold.

I remember a reddit aita story like that. The person repeatedly told his SO and family that his colorblindness wasn't an issue and that the glasses wouldn't do much as a lot of the reactions are fake/over exaggerated. They didn't listen and eventually surprised him with the glasses. Well he didn't have a big emotional reaction like they wanted. He did warn them but they wasted their money on glasses that gave things a haze.

Absolutely +

I'm colorblind and bought those glasses, at first I thought they worked because I was able to spot things that were red and green that I hadn't before but then I started spotting even more red and green things that weren't red and green and eventually I quit wearing them. Then later I found out they were a scam and it made a lot of sense.

There is a rare, specific kind of red-green color blindness those stupid glasses actually help. For severe enough red-green colorblindness they do nothing, but for less severe, they can amplify the difference between colors. They are absolutely not a cure-all and marketing them as such is predatory.

They do have a 60 day return policy (as long as it's non-customized lenses). Really makes you wonder how they make any money at all.

Yeah my brother has a type of colourblindness that the tests don’t seem to pick up, would be curious to see if these work

So true. Like a AI photo fixer, black and white photos are not so easy to make color, believe me I have been trying to find one to show me a reasonable possibility of a old steam locomotive's coloring. Just make it pinker as opposed to sepia.

The thing is, results do vary. There is a certain kind of rare color blindness that's less total than average, and it can get spectacular results. But it's rare. For the most common color blindness they do pretty much nothing.

i’m always so impressed with his vocabulary and ability to describe nuance in a precise and original way, whether in the taste tests, or here with the colours

The Megalag videos had a really good explanation for a large portion of the fake reactions. People aren't seeing more colors, but there's a huge amount of social pressure from people who care about them and are making a big show about it. They are expected to be amazed, and either by placebo or simply playing along, they act that way. Which makes it even more infuriating/saddening that they do not work.

@@jbutler8585 this video made me realize that a lot of the "crying at the beauty" reactions could actually be "crying because i got my expectations up and reality just hit me in the face" reactions. heightened by the pressure of others' expectations and being on video

@@jbutler8585They do work for some people, just not for everyone, and not as dramatically as advertised.

@@jbutler8585 i never understood how the glasses would even work in the first place. it's not like they are adding new cones to the wearer's eyes and magically let them perceive a colour they previously couldnt. but also maybe i am kinda cynical in these types of regard. if someone is born blind then no matter what kind of glasses you give them they won't magically grow the nerves and neural pathways to suddenly see. the only way that COULD happen is through actually altering the organs that cause the issue, and we don't really have that as of yet, and possibly never will have the technology to build new cones in someone's eyes so they can perceive a whole new colour or build a whole optical nerve with neural pathways connecting to them so they can see again. while we do have ways to make partially blind people see again, if they have been blind most of their lives then suddenly having that new sense would be extremely overwhelming and disorienting, and we dont have any similar things to entirely replace missing parts of the body that has never been there

It is always hard to ask others how their world looks, it can come off insensitive even if you are just trying to broaden your horizons. But James like his family are willing to help.

It does change what they are seeing and if everyone is saying to them that what they are now seeing is normal - ie what we all see, that would be very confusing.

The thing is, I think people don't know much about colourblindness. What is colourblindness - inability to distinguish some colours from others. And that's what we generally know about it. But there is so much more. What is causing it? Receptors in your eyes not working properly. And because there are 3 receptors, you have a variety of different colourblindness - single colour, dual colour, hell, there is even a type where the cells don't work at all so they see black and white. How can a pair of glasses fix that? Well, they can't. It's a placebo effect. Those people see some difference, but they don't know what the colours really should look like, and that is where the trick is. There is no way for them to verify that what they are seeing is what a non-colourblind person sees.

@@ivanpetrov5255I think it is abit more simple. What a person sees and what they do not see is totally subjective simply because the way we are asking them is to tell us what they see. I think the glasses can work if certain types of colorblindness use certain types of glasses. It can open up the spectrum of what they see but it is not really a cure all.

Are these people you've met, or people you've seen in videos? The company that makes these sends them for free to influencers and others with a high follower count, and discounted to regular people if they send them a reaction video. They also refused to even SELL a pair to a sceptical youtuber who contacted them.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if part of the denial about the glasses is because otherwise there'd be some shame that they'd bought into a scam and that all it gave them was a pair of over priced rose tinted glasses

That is such a kind, encouraging comment who4743. Speaks volumes as to who you are as a person.

I couldn't agree more with this comment. Ann saves lives in several ways; a wise and kind queen!

@@alexsanbr Thank you, she does and she's so humble too. I think she needs to be ranked in the same category as Mr. Rogers, Bob Ross and Steve Irwin. I really wanted to respond back to her as her kind words came at a time when I needed to hear something like that. And to have come from her, my mind is still blown. But I understand how busy she is and didn't want to take up anymore of her time. Her reply to me extends to you too you know, because you also recognize all that she's done and that the lives she's saved are the most important thing to have come from her using her platform. I have a feeling that you have put a lot of good out into this world too, even what may seem like a small act of kindness on your part can be a huge thing for the other party. I'm proud of you for doing the good things you've done. Even a smile can really brighten someone's day, so I send you a smile to keep for the day you need it my friend. Stay well.

I love how we get to see the family's talents as well, like a couple years ago when we found out Dave was actually an investigative journalist instead of just "weird food guinea pig".

@@megabigblur, excellent point! There are so many good things about this channel and this family that it's too much for one person to list themselves. So now let's play a fun little game. How about everyone that reads this says your favorite thing about about this channel, whether it's a favorite video, a family moment or something. Then try to point out something good about the channel that no one else here has pointed out yet. I love that she includes her family , their family dynamic is so amazing and wholesome. She has graciously shared her children with us and we've been able to see how they've grown, yet she never crossed the line leading to exploiting them.

Yeees 😂 dude's everywhere except jjk

They're not fake, but incredibly oversold. There is a rare, specific kind of red-green color blindness those stupid glasses actually help. They depend on you having *some* ability to distinguish all colors, and remove part of the red-green overlap spectrum to create more situations where one cone gets activated more strongly than the other. This enhances a diminished ability to distinguish those colors, but for severe enough red-green disorder they just make everything darker.

@@tsm688 Excuses... Do you work for EnChroma? They don't sell them to assist people with a "rare, specific" colour blindness. They state they WORK for 80% of red-green colour blind people. I wonder how many returns they get from purchasers?

And then on the other hand you have people who can only be negative. Negativity sells, you have RU-vidrs whose whole schtick is to say "this thing/game/movie is the worst thing I have seen !" It's why most of the broadcast cable news is mostly negative and has led to people being constantly afraid when in actuality crime has seen a steep decline since the 1980s. A RU-vidr I like who kind of falls into that "thing bad" schtick has openly said "Anytime I do a video about a thing I like they don't do well." Really just another example of extremism being bad. We have a lot of feelings and it's best to not obsess over just one of them. My grandma kind of fits into that "Good vibes only" thing and can't deal with the truth. Says "I wasn't raised right" when I tell the truth. Sorry if the truth hurts but I believe in not lying to people. "No, nobody wants to come over and I don't want to have to make all this food that will eventually go to waste."

It really seems like trying to ignore half of reality can lead to negative consequences. Not only that, but if everything is wonderful, it's the same as when nothing is.

Same reason why RU-vid should bring Downvote counts back (without plugin)

Toxic positivity. It's a real thing.

The word is toxic positivity if I'm not mistaken. Though I feel like in their case it's less toxic positivity and more literal manipulation (and the guys probably don't want to get in trouble since even though they don't work for 5 min crafts anymore they still are under the same publisher. Guess they don't want the Russians to get angry at them lol)

It's not the same, what my mom and sister see as white I see it as blue

Philosophers often call this idea the "inverted spectrum." The light novel, "Qualia the Purple" takes this concept to the extreme by introducing a character who experiences everyone except themselves as robots (and provides in-universe evidence that their perception of reality is a valid one).

and it's all labels too, the Greeks described the sea as the color of wine; they did not see it as part of the same color group as the sky.

@@kawaibakaneko Well some of you are colour blind then. Usually everybody can agree on white.

Each of my eyes sees a slightly different color spectrum. One is more warm, the other more blue. Never have taken the time to specify HOW different, but it's real and can cause some brain games when one eye decides to 'take over.' So, yes. :)

my dad is red-green colourblind and I was there always to make sure he connected the right wires. Also first he was made to be radar guy in army but somehow that didn't work... I always laugh when he can tell all his fishing lure colours apart yet somehow conviently pulls "i cannot tell difference i am colour blind" but I guess it depends on shade. Sometimes he asks is this x or z

long hair is the real hazard XD

​@@tsm688it seems like fake hair is particularly flamable

@@Greentrees60 plastic with a very high surface area? absolutely

There is a rare, specific kind of red-green color blindness those stupid glasses actually help. They depend on you having *some* ability to distinguish all colors, and filter out part of the red-green overlap to create more situations where one cone is stimulated without stimulating the other. The most common colorblindness, they don't help at all, just make everything darker.

My great-uncle who tragically passed in the first wave of covid was also colorblind and also loved yellow bc he could see it as a bright, clear color ❤ The only time I remember him having trouble with colors (that affected him) was when he couldn't differentiate between cantaloupe and honeydew, and he preferred one kind ☺️

Syracuse? Tom Scott did a lateral episode on that! Insane that that stood for so long

@@awaredeshmukh3202 He went to University of Miami (Florida), this would have been in the 1950/early 1960s, I couldn't tell you where in Miami specifically the intersection was

@@erinaa9486 hell, even as a trhchromic person telling those apart is hard :D
