  Hey Mat, legally blind individual here. I’d like to thank you for making your videos so accessible for the visually impaired. I didn’t really consider it before, but you’re right. With the way you write your scripts, I never miss out on jokes, even with how difficult it can be to see what’s happening onscreen sometimes. Seriously man, it goes a long way and I really appreciate it.

  I distinctly remember blindly picking a fruit snack out of the bag, assuming it was strawberry, and it tasting AWFUL until I realized it was raspberry, then suddenly it tasted delicious. It was such a bizarre experience, but it shows how expectation impact your interpretation of flavors and which ones you focus on.

  As a person with sensory issues, I really love that fact that the voiceovers are very clear, and that I don't have to turn the video volume up. Things are always too loud, but I can't figure out words well. This channel makes a perfect balance! Much love for team theorist! <3

  As a fully blind person I am so proud to see how accurate and precise you were concerning blindness. Thanks for advocating for us in a positive way. Love this video!

  Since this episode focuses heavily on accessibility, this is probably a good place to ask Team Theorist to stop using Youtube's auto-generated subtitles and put official closed captions on their videos! It would be much appreciated for those of us with auditory processing issues and hearing disabilities!

  I was curious if they were going to bring up Christine Ha, the winner of the third season of Master Chef. For those not familiar, she&apos;s a sight impaired cook who had to depend entirely on taste and feel to be able to keep track of how her cooking went, which makes her victory more impressive, especially combined with the difficulty of high-level cooking without sight in general.

  Wasn&apos;t expecting this episode to go from talking about the relationship between our eyes and our tongues to talking about accessibility in stores and restaurants and grocery stores.

  This actually explains the results from the fruit loop episode. Matt was able to (mistakenly) identify clear flavors when he was able to see them but when he was blindfolded all he could taste was generic fruit and citrus blends which is exactly what was happening. All the colors had the exact same flavor but his sight was lying to him before he was blindfolded

  As someone with auditory processing disorder, having bad subtitles is really annoying because I need those to understand what’s happening :) thank you for making sure they’re accurate!
