I'm an unemployed legally blind mostly white American who may have at one point been good at math and programming, who is just smart enough to get loads of spam from MIT, but not smart enough to avoid putting my foot in my mouth an average of monthly on Lesswrong. I've been talking about blindness-related issues a lot over the past year mostly because I suddenly realized that they were relevant, but my aim is to solve these problems as quickly as possible so I can get back to getting better at things that actually matter. On the off chance that you have questions, feel free to AMA.
Why do you say "may have at one point been good at math and programming." Aren't you still good at that? Are opportunities for people like yourself -- blind, but with those aptitudes --, available in today's world, where so much is done in front of a computer screen, and adaptive technologies exist? Or do you think that in a competitive world, blindness puts you hopelessly behind sighted people?
Do you think that your level of ambition and drive are lessened by your disability, increased, or does it make no difference?
Does the CfAR-style philosophy of instrumental rationalism help you overcome your disability?
If you want people to ask you stuff reply to this post with a comment to that effect.
More accurately, ask any participating LessWronger anything that is in the category of questions they indicate they would answer.
