Flashing Lights are Dangerous...

At least to me, and probably, under the wrong circumstances, to many other people.

I have to shield my eyes from the flashing lights to be able to walk down the street, or to cross it; if I can’t shield my eyes, or I get hit from unexpected directions, I can end up walking into the street. And that happens again and again and that will probably kill me.

I know that even neurotypical helicopter pilots sometimes crash because of the flashing lights and the resulting disorientation. So it follows that, under the wrong circumstances, the flashing lights which endanger me could endanger many more people. I suspect that sleep deprivation, inner ear problems, and nsaid poisoning could cause that.

I suspect that I’m the canary in the coal mine. I know I don’t know that. I refuse to accept that I’m acceptable collateral damage.
