I
(and Chris) occasionally wonder how many of you blindsimming
enthusiasts are able to make regular blindsimming outings such as I
am lucky to be able to do. We get little or no feedback to our blog
here and hope we are not wasting our (or your, for that matter) time.
Is anyone really lucky to have a regular guiding friend who really
believes that you are genuinely blind – and leaves you with a
guilty conscience? Would be most interesting to hear, please!

First, I want you to know that I do follow your blog, so your time is not wasted.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I have always been "in the closet" about this, so I spend my blind time at home, and so far have not ventured out. If I ever do try anything more adventurous, I'd want someone along to guide me.
As for your conscience, the question of when it is ethical to withhold or obscure personal information is very difficult and complicated, so I would not attempt to answer it for you. There's no obligation to explain yourself to every person you encounter, but the closer the friendship, the more uncomfortable I would feel in creating a false impression.
