	~~The other half of the equation is about all the people who are missing out in life as a result of this information not being as widely distributed as it should be. Feels bad man {{sad}}~~

	There's that 'back of the head thing' that is perfectly aware of how many people are suffering through myopia. Myopia has to be my most disliked trait. Who knows how many opportunities I've lost out on, and how much has changed as a result of the [[Wikipedia:butterfly effect\|butterfly effect]]? 😱

	~~==Butterfly effect==~~
	Actions in one area can cause a much bigger effect in another area. I stumbled onto EndMyopia originally by glancing at a reddit link for half a second, before you know it '''BOOM''' I'm making long term improvements in my myopia. It's like torture knowing how much it could have gone the other way, so glad it didn't 😅

	Lost track of the number of sporting events I really did not take seriously, I really settled into that 'nerd' stereotype and those glasses keep you locked in to it. No sport for me, instead I'll be stagnant and play video games all day 🎮 (so many good memories though)

	~~==Laughing or crying==~~
	You can't cry endlessly about the state of the world. Gotta say though it's pretty bleak at the moment!! 50% of the world forecast to have myopia by 2050. '''50 percent'''. Naw guys, it's still a mysterious genetic condition, absolute mystery how this is happening. ''Reverse your myopia? No way!!!'' Once you get to those kinds of stupid levels of myopia, ''surely'' the penny drops for humanity as a collective at some point along the timeline, right? 🤔

	EndMyopia represents the other half of the equation. You can laugh in your own bubble of friends where everything is always getting better, or you can cry because the world's submerged in a dark reality. (philosophy monocle: 🧐)

	~~==EndMyopia's (great) future==~~
	I'm a ruthless believer in optimism over pessimism, so stuff like 'EndMyopia will never take off' or 'if it worked it would already be successful' is just like, negative man. You gotta ignore the negativity, where the heck does negativity get you anyway?! Here's the first thing I think of when someone says one of those two sentences:

	::'''It's literal fucking vision improvement, back to 20/20. It literally has the potential to help more than a billion people deal with a severe defect to their most important sensory organ.''' '''''Whaddya talking about!?'''''

	Who cares if EM 'takes off' or not? We're all having fun here, actually improving our vision and being a beacon of light for those who want to seek us out. No point in being some kind of religious crusade or something 😂

	~~But there~~'s that 'back of the head thing' that is perfectly aware of how many people are suffering through myopia. ~~Personally, myopia~~ has to be ~~one of~~ my most ~~loathed traits~~, ~~it has taken away countless opportunities~~ and ~~who knows~~ how much has changed as a result of the [[Wikipedia:butterfly effect\|butterfly effect]].

It's like torture knowing how much it could have gone the other way, so glad it didn't 😅

	~~How about the way myopia affects us as we grow up?~~ Lost track of the number of sporting events I really did not take seriously, ~~once you find the~~ 'nerd' stereotype ~~that becomes your comfort zone,~~ and those glasses ~~kept me~~ locked in all ~~that time.~~		Lost track of the number of sporting events I really did not take seriously, I really settled into that 'nerd' stereotype and those glasses keep you locked in to it.

	You ~~cannot~~ cry endlessly about the state of the world. ~~Although at the moment~~ it's pretty bleak!! 50% of the world forecast to have myopia by 2050.

	So it's bleak, and EndMyopia represents the other half of the equation, laughing loads. Full of loads of jokes, a community that takes it easy, it's all great surely. It's the ray of sunshine the world doesn't know it needs, IMO.

	You can laugh in your own bubble of friends where everything is always getting better, or you can cry because the world's submerged in a dark reality. 🧐		EndMyopia represents the other half of the equation.

The biological realities will don't get to change, whether it 'takes off' or doesn't.

Hurr durr they~~'~~re all paid actors. Wake up. Far too many people gathering around~~ '''~~one way of doing things~~'''~~. Something that if true, has the potential to change the world. Maybe it happens, maybe it doesn~~'~~t (change scares me :( ).~~

	It'~~s pretty funny really, people will insist someone like me~~ '~~doesn~~'~~t have~~ a ~~life'~~ for ~~promoting~~ something ~~like EM.... and then before you know it reality catches up and suddenly you don't look all that stupid.
