Helen Keller

Helen Keller is famously known for being able to communicate despite being blind and deaf.

OR IS SHE?

The Legend or The Fraud?
How in the world could Helen Keller be able to communicate properly without being able to see or hear? How is it possible for her to comprehend the concept of society and existence when all she can do is feel and smell? The only thing she can comprehend is the stimuli from touch and smell, so really it boils down to positive and negative re-enforcement. When Helen smelt dog shit did she understand it was dog shit? No. It just smelt bad. At most she can form a basic animalistic knowledge of recognizing a smell or touch and being like, "nuh uh" or "UHHH HUH", or in this case since she's blind and deaf she'd go, "AUGHHGHHAAAAHAHAHHAHHGGGHH".

I'm not doing the argument justice really, there's more to this candle than being lit or whatever. Point is at most she would be able to understand pleasure and pain, and those two concepts are not enough to communicate the complexities of life. She could recognize the sensation of touching water at most and then scream, but calling that "communicating" is a stretch.

That said, how isn't it that Helen one day hit her gooch against a corner or something and the stimuli from flicking the bean was so good, she'd just masturbate all day? Like she has no comprehension of social standards and all she knows is allocation of pleasure and pain and her own body, so at some point she'd put together, "OH! If I touch here it feels good". That said Helen Keller probably masturbated like ALL THE TIME, and her caretakers were like, "What the fuck, who taught Helen this?"
