Cars make me really sick but boats never do. Maybe it's because I practically grew up in the ocean.

if u are talking to your brain, then I think you are suffering from schizophrenia

Actually no because the light ( I think that affects them too but this is one way ) would move to the shadows and therefore the ears would sense motion and blind people would sense the light from shadows moving. So in conclusion the ears and eyes sense movements but ANOTHER theory would be that the eyes don't sense the movement and the ears do but the brain would be used to this since the eyes don't function but I think that for newly blinded people this may apply until the brain gets the memo.

Loooove your videos, but!

Pet peeve: Please stop using the term "nauseous" incorrectly, in your videos; The proper term you need to start using is nauseated...

That will be all

I sometimes, rarely, experience what I believe to be motion sickness while reading in the back of a car. I don't know why I don't experience this a majority of the time I read while in a vehicle

It would be a shame for you not to get ripped when other people are able to burn up fat so easily using Lean Body Blaster (Google it).
