I remember making some comments along these lines to my optometrist in my teenage years when I still had the spicy zest of youth and boundless curiosity for pursuit of knowledge. He grunted. That was the first time I realized what burn out was and I felt doomed. Also , my eye sight got worse from first diagnosis in my early preteen years to early adulthood so I concur with your point (aside: Chickens with contacts. God bless you chicken ladies. What will we think of next ? neuralink? Bomb guiding?)
> Bomb guiding?
That's pretty old-school considering that after WWII, seeding industrial areas in Germany with nuclear mines was being considered, and the plan had chickens supplying body heat to prevent the detonators from freezing over in winter.
