Although the vast majority of "black" people are in fact brown skinned, some black people are actually black or at least so close to black as to be indistinguishable.

A quick google tells me Sudanese people are known to be the darkest skinned people.

The people I have seen in person who are this dark always seem to have beautiful flawless skin.

I'm not sure that I have the smarts or the vocabulary to understand and or explain this properly tbh, but here is my take on it...

I guess it depends on how you define "black" as in my opinion there is varying degrees and shades of black, just as there is with every other colour, and light still reflects off whatever is coloured black and you can see shadows cast on it.

What you describe as "black" to me sounds like a thing called "vantablack" which is a paint that some artists use, that stuff basically looks like a hole in whatever it is on, no light reflects off it, a shadow wouldn't appear on it, and it is very odd to look at (I've only seen pictures and videos of it, I imagine it is way more strange looking in person).

An analogy you may be able to relate to is; imagine when it is as quiet as you have ever heard it be, there is still some sense of hearing and you might be able to imagine how different that would be if your hearing was completely switched off.

Apart from that crazy vantablack stuff, I am always aware that I am looking at something.

Hope that makes some sense to you, that question is quite a difficult concept for me to process and I can see the flippin stuff I'm talking about.

You seem to be stretching to find things that are done via tech that don't need to be...

However, It sounds like under such an order he indeed wouldn't be allowed to go to that cinema and would have to go another one that doesn't have such a system. (assuming he goes by himself, as someone else could click for him).

There are lots of well paid jobs that don't require a computer, that suggestion is a bit silly.

Top of my head... oil rigger, Diver, Carpenter.

It is alien to a l ot of people to imagine it, but living without modern tech is completely doable, it would just make a fair few things take longer to acheive by yourself, or would require someone to do it for you.

Also, I imagine someone under such an order is able to choose not to agree to it and serve their full jail sentence instead though.

As demonstrated by the guy doing the AMA who conveyed the same point without using that cheeseball phrase by speaking in plain english and saying "the stuff I'm good at", it is not necessary and is 100% a "buzzword".
