There’s a neurological disorder called prosopagnosia that I think about from time to time. Colloquially known as “face blindness,” prosopagnosia impairs one’s ability to recognize familiar faces even as the rest of one’s visual processing remains intact.
Imagine having to recognize people by the sounds of their voice or their hairstyles rather than their faces. It doesn’t sound easy, does it? Yet apparently, up to 2% of the population may be affected by this to some degree — including Brad Pitt.
For those of you who have prosopagnosia, today’s game will be a tough one to follow.
