Funny you should mention human eyes.

Human eyes have a 30-60 fps rate.

Cameras currently can get up to 240, granted those are standard cameras. Depth cameras are currently at about 30fps, but getting better.

As tech increases robots will be BETTER at seeing fast moving objects.

It is. I've never met anyone in my country that wants to prevent adults from reading any books. We do have some people that want to prevent children from reading books that contain images of child pornography.
In fact, our most banned book is such a book. It's called Gender Queer and it's banned for containing images of children engaged in oral sex with each other. Some parents don't want children to see one child's penis penetrate another child.

They don’t reject the right to read books. They want to keep certain books away from their kids. They are not asking to have them made illegal by the government to own or read or study academically.

Everybody has SOME books they wouldn’t want their kids reading until they’re old enough. We just draw the line different.

Caveat that these are generalizations and there are always SOME people out there that actually advocate for truly insane things. Pick the worst idea imaginable, someone out there is a proponent of it. But that’s beside the point.

I take it every day, and while it’s not cheap it’s effective… nothing is cheap The cost of living obviously makes up a larger % of income when income is lower That isn’t rocket science

I think I misunderstood what you meant then in your previous comment. I'm okay with children( 8th YEAR +) being taught that there are different sexual orientations ( and that it's okay to be that way-in terms of consenting ADULTS) This could/should be a part of sex education.

There are instances of homosexuality being observed in 500+ species. I'm not saying showing pictures or describe in depth the behavior or have repeated lessons on the topic, but being gay shouldn't be stigmatized any more in society.

I don't know what race theory is, but a lot of historical events are based in race and history should be taught objectively in a way that doesn't teach inferiority/superiority. Just the facts.

Gender psychology is a college level class, it's fine where it's at.
