Prescription lenses so good I had to get rid of them.

Hi, for context, I had glasses since third grade with a number of around -3 on my eyes. I played vr since 2017 and decided I had fucking enough with it ruining my glasses or having to put contacts each time to play.

Around two months ago I bought the hons vr add on (NOT AN AD! This will probably be the same regardless of brand). I wanted to play better since I just couldn’t understand anymore what’s going on with large spaces.

I put them on for the first time and realised what I fucking missed all the time. The ease of playing was on another level, my mind clicked and I knew I had to do an eye surgery.

I am writing this a week after the surgery since I wanted to say, if you need glasses and play a lot of vr, BUY THE PRESCRIPTIONS THAT ARE SPECIFIC FOR YOUR HEADSET. It is mind blowing how good it is.

Rebuilding American democracy: 20-minute talk proposes abolishing the Senate, reforming the House, and restructuring the Supreme Court

I came across this presentation from a July 4th book launch event and thought it was one of the more ambitious and structured democracy reform proposals I’ve seen lately. The speaker outlines six major institutional changes he believes are necessary to make U.S. democracy sustainable in the 21st century (and beyond).

Basically, he wants to:

Abolish the Senate and vest all legislative power in an expanded House (695 members), and redraw all congressional districts into multi-member districts and elect them using proportional ranked choice voting.

He’d also Abolish the Electoral College in favor of a national popular vote (obvious yes, for me).

Allow the House to impeach the President with a 60% majority, eliminating the Senate trial. Not sure about this one…but parliamentary systems seem to do ok with no-confidence votes.

Expand the Supreme Court to 21 Justices, each serving a 21-year term, with 4 appointments per presidential term. Creative, and yeah I can see how it “turns down the temperature,” as he says.

The video is here if you’re interested: https://youtu.be/cFca2mYb1wc

Regardless of whether you agree with all of it, I thought it was a really concise and provocative vision of what a redesigned democratic system could look like. Curious what others here think.
