tilthat: TIL a philosophy riddle from 1688 was
recently solved. If a man born blind can feel
the differences between shapes such as
spheres and cubes, could he, if given the
ability, distinguish those objects by sight
alone? In 2003 five people had their sight
restored though surgery, and, no they could
not.

I love when apparently Deep questions turn
out to have clear empirical answers.
