so We're looking at the left Side of
your brain from the Inside from the
Middle So you Cut your brain down That

convoluted Thank you and if you go back
but Wait Hold On If you go to the back
of the brain this would be the occipital
lobe here But in your case There's a

missing a chunk of brain I don't know
but I think actually there's really a

um how's your Uh color Vision and Visual
perception Are you kidding me I'm color
Blind are you really I'm
severely well I Can't You you think
There's a corresponding chunk
missing Maybe That's Crazy i thought
color blindness is a Lack of Rods and

practicing medicine Without a license
there but I find it Very interesting and
I did not know that you are color Blind
ok and see this Little convolution

the brain What that was A Joke Well No
I'm joking
