I was going to say something
Yes, yes, yes
You know
Yeah, no, that's
I was going to
There was one thing I want to talk about
Yeah, yeah, there's
I want to talk about it
There's one thing you wanted to talk about
I want to
Yeah, I
Okay
So, okay
Yesterday, I was like
Yesterday, okay
It just came to me, you know
That's weird, right?
Okay
There's something, it just came to me
Okay
Hmm, it got me thinking, you know
Okay, my side
Yeah
Humans
Wow, that's a big question, okay
Right?
Humans
They evolve
Yeah
Right?
And apart from that, humans
When they age
When they age, yeah, okay
Their abilities get slower
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Like their eyesight get lower
True
Their ears gets worse
03:03
True
Their muscle level goes down
Yeah, yeah
This is like 30 is the peak level of muscles
Okay, okay
That's right, that's right
But my question is
What the hell is wrong with eyesight?
Eyesight, huh?
Humans
Okay
Like around the age of like 10
They can't already use their eyes anymore, right?
They're wearing glasses
Right, right, right
Right?
It deteriorates so fast
Ah, true
Like what the hell is that?
What the hell is wrong with that, right?
Compared to like ears and
Yeah, I mean
Like every muscles in it
Yeah, I mean like teeth, muscles
You have to wait until like you're in this like 40, 50, 60s
Until you can actually start seeing deterioration, right?
Right, right, right, right
But like eyesight, what the hell is wrong?
It's so weak
True
Like what happened to that?
What happened to that, right?
Right
Like we have to wear this shit
Yeah
Like what the...
So I was like
You know what, like let's say that you're
You have to get braces, right?
And it fucking sucks
Kyosei, braces fucking sucks, right?
It's like, oh, I don't have to do this
It's painful
I mean it fucking sucks
Yeah
Like, you know, like for years
Like when you have to do
Hojoki
Hojoki, like it fucking sucks, right?
But like this
Like we've accepted it
True
But like this is actually really, really mendokusai
Like what the hell is this on my face all the time?
Like
True
The moment you wake up, you have to wear it
Right
And you have to wear it until you go to sleep
Right
You can't take it in the showers
Yeah
Right?
I mean, it fucking like
I mean, like
I can't believe we've accepted this glasses
Right, right, right, right
So, I mean, like my question was like
What the fuck happened to humans there?
Like
Just
Eyesight's deteriorating so fast
True
You know, like what
Like how have we not evolved?
Yeah, the eyesight
Yeah, like
Shouldn't we have gotten a better eyesight by now?
Is my question like
True, like stronger ones
Stronger eyes
That's true
I guess it's like the evolution of like media
And digital contents and like screens
Like it has speed
It speeded up
It sped up
Sped up?
Sped up so fast
Yeah
Just that like evolution wasn't able to catch up
With like our massive usage of eyes
Yeah
I guess
True
Yeah
I guess the same way
Yeah
Evolution needs like
More time
Generations
Generations to evolve
Yeah
But maybe like after
10 generations from us
People will have like stronger eyesight
06:00
Stronger eyesight, right
I mean, hopefully
Yeah
Hopefully that'll work out
Yeah
You know, used to those like screens and
Uh-huh
Yeah
Yeah, maybe
You know what I'm jealous of my younger generations?
Okay
That they're
That instead of smartphones and tablets
Like which is on their hand
Yeah
And forces you to look down
And your spine kind of like bends forward
Right
Instead of that
Now they get to have like vision goggles
Uh-huh, I guess
That they can just attach to their face
Uh-huh
And they don't have to look down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
To consume digital content
Right
And I'm really jealous of that
Uh-huh
So their body posture is so much better I think
Like this
Yeah, they're not gonna have any of the smartphone neck
That you know, the Japanese keep saying
Right, right, right
They're not gonna have that
And I'm really jealous about
True
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, that's right
Uh-huh
Or maybe it's too close to the eyes
And then they have some different
Like some kind of
I can't even imagine but like
Smartphone eyes
Like Google Glass eyes and things like
Is that bad for your eyes to have like
I don't know
You know those
Have you ever tried those vision goggles
And stuff like that
It doesn't feel like you're looking really close
It really does look like you're looking far away
So like to me it doesn't feel like it's not bad for the eyes
Uh-huh, uh-huh
It's what I'm feeling
Yeah, well maybe
I've never tried that before so
You've never tried it
But yeah, I never know
It will evolve in generations
Uh-huh
Or like still have different problem for them
Just like smartphone neck wasn't
Nothing like
For the grandpas, right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe new problem will be
Could be, could be
You have like red lines all over your face
With the goggle lines
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, true
Yeah
But yeah, some people wear glasses
At the age of like 4, 5, 6
I mean you're only like
Let's say you live up to 80
Yeah
Right?
That's what?
16
That's like 1 16th of your life
And you're already
You can't already use your eyes
Your eyes are already bad
Real, real like
What kind of human organ is that?
Right?
1 16th of your life and it's done
Like not useful anymore
Right, right, right
Such a weak part of our body
True
Yeah
True
Since when do you wear glasses?
I don't remember but I think
Middle school
Middle school
Yeah
Yeah, middle school
It's, you know, it's not bad
It's not too early
You know, there are many
My friend, friend of them
Start wearing glasses from middle school
09:03
But we live like 100 years or like 80 years
Yeah
Like middle school is like what? 15?
That's right
It's still in the very beginning part
Very beginning
Like I get it if you had to wear glasses from like 60
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Then it would make sense like you're
You've lived half of your life
Right, right
Like you're
True
You're getting closer to the end
Your body parts are getting worse
Now you have to wear glasses
Now you have to wear glasses
That makes sense, I get it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Right
I don't know what's up with that
Yeah
Maybe we use too strongly our eyes maybe
Yeah
Seeing screens and
Maybe
Yeah, probably, right
We're not
Smart phones and stuff like that
Evolved yet
Yeah
For this maybe
Right, yeah
True
All right, so that was just my rant
Yeah
All right
Thanks for listening guys
Bye
It's interesting you
You randomly think about those
Yeah, I mean it's a random thing I get
I get it every once in a while
Yeah, yeah
It's weird
Yeah
