Louis Braille, the inventor of Braille, kind of modified this language where you could use dots to communicate. And it was considered, it was outlawed. They weren't allowed to use it in school where he was going to school.

When they finally did a big test to prove that one person who was blind was going to spell something and another person was going to read it because the kids were using it like quietly, even though it was like outlawed in the school. And when they did that big test with viewers and people to watch, the first big claim was they're cheating.

They practiced in advance to pretend what they were going to write. It seemed outlandish that you could read dots with your finger and spell by poking holes into something. And so Braille went through the same dilemma. And so I think this control of how we use language, who's allowed to use it, and if it's valid is not new. But it's really unfortunate because...

that is a human right to communicate to say what you want for dinner i mean the most basic things and if anyone out there is critiquing this without seeing a speller in action i just think it's like a crime because you are trying to steal a voice from another living human being it's really mean yeah i mean what do the skeptics think is going on in those homes

There's a lot around the tests around spelling, right? To prove it's like efficacy have really changed throughout the years. So at first it's like, okay, no touch. Okay, there's no touch. Now sit further apart. Okay, sit further apart. That's working. Then it's like the parent shouldn't look at the board. Okay, well, we won't look at the board. Then it's like, then can the parent leave the room?

Well, there's something fascinating, which is why I think it's really important that this whole telepathy bit is getting out there. Because I think a lot of people who work... with spellers. And there are some spellers who are absolutely independent, like they're rocking and rolling, they're off to the races. And it's a journey. And it's a love evolution.

But there's certainly many spellers I've talked to who say like, I need a person nearby, a trusted communication partner. And I don't know if it's the physiology is grounding them. I don't know if it is that they're help, it's helpful to use their eyes, I have no idea what it is.

But there's this beautiful kind of meshing that happens, especially in the earlier parts of the journey, that are a bit inexplicable. And if you try to test it, it's going to be like, how do you explain that? And I don't know, but it takes two people to do sign language. You know, you can't do it alone. And so if this partner, and it doesn't always have to, often people have many partners, right?

There might be some communication partners at school and at work and with a parent. But if that partner is needed to be somewhere in the space to ground you, Why does it matter? I mean, why does it actually matter? If they're typing on their own with their finger, new thoughts, self-diagnosing, talking about things other people don't know about.

I mean, it's clear they're in there and they're communicating their thoughts. Why it is that someone might need to be in the room to help them do it, that's a science question that I can't answer. I think it has to do with physiology. I think it has to do with energy. It might have to do with using someone else's frequency to help you just... stabilize, I have no, or integrate with your body.
