Wow you're a pessimistic asshole. The kid is blind, it is amazing what he can do and how far he has come, even if it's just "one button at a time." Look at the other shit he does, and the stuff he overcame.
I'm far from being pessimistic and I don't consider myself an asshole.
Even though you offended me I will reply just for the sake of it.
They made it into a phenomenon which is silly to me.
I used to know a blind person and there are no superpowers there, they just have to find their own ways to live like any of us do by developing their other senses further than most of us and they don't have any problems with most everyday tasks.
There's a case of "human echolocation" that is supposed to occur amongst way more blind people than this kid.
It's silly how other people make them automatically inferior, they pity them. "Oh what a tragedy and how awesome that person was for a disabled person". That sickens me as that doesn't make anything better for them.
And I hate TV for things like these. Focusing on a single person turning it either into a tragedy or a "tragedy that turned out into something special" and people are like "ohh how sad".
