Let's end all modern medicine and mental health care. Can't deny people the experience of the culture of plague or polio or the culture of crippling depression. Selfish, delusional fucking people.

I for one would be up for some Claviceps purpurea on the fields from now and then. You would sometimes randomly feel the st. Anthony's fire in your hands, we don't really experience such medieval sensations anymore, and well, a lot of people would have their limbs amputated but hey, fuck everything.

Funny thing is, I understand why people could feel that way. Remember, these are people who grew up with these disabilities, and all their lives people have been conditioning them to be ok with their disabilities, and that they aren't something to be ashamed of. Now that we can eventually screen for and eliminate these crippling genetic defects, it is understandable that they would be resistant to it.

"A lot of this conversation [around CRIPSR] is about the removal of suffering and pain and disease," she said. "Whenever I hear stuff like that -- they're talking about me, people of my community."

Yes, society wants to remove this hitherto unavoidable part of the human condition. Sorry, but to put it bluntly the "pain and disease" community is a pitiful thing that we should aim to eventually eliminate. Nobody is saying to throw them in gas chambers and begone with them all, but to advocate support for the continued existence of these awful anomalies in light of a solution is cruel and inhumane. I think Dak nailed it when he said "selfish and delusional".

She does *sort of* have a point in claiming that this is a form of eugenics. But thinking automatically that anything labelled eugenics = bad is a very myopic view of the situation. People put too much stock in thinking that genetic modification is evil. But someone who advocates for the existence of crippling illnesses probably can't be convinced.

I think at the root of it is an existential inversion of FOMO - the fear that future generations will miss out on the misery you were unfortunate enough to endure. So let's vindictively wish it on others in the name of "culture".

All the disabled people I know don't want to be disabled. They're just SJWs and not representative of any community other than SJWs.

It's true, I don't know why anybody would pretend like SJWs complaining about scientific advancements threatening their 'disabled' identity represents the fears and wishes of most disabled people.

It's the exact mindset that allows SJWs to manipulate society in the first place. They don't represent anybody, they're just loud.

A US/UK university study is Russian propaganda? The TDS is now starting to flow into everything disliked.

 

[Mort Divine]

Nothing to do with the content. Just see a lot of people dismiss anything reported by the site on the basis of it being a Russian news organization.

If my formatting wasn't obvious enough, I don't think that it.

White kids, racism and the way privileged parenting props up an unjust system.

It may seem like there's already more than enough writing about white children. After all, the vast majority of children's literature is about white kids. But, Hagerman told me by phone, "while there is a lot of writing about white kids, there is not a lot from a critical race perspective. Much of the developmental psychology literature uses white kids as the sample, but doesn't interrogate what whiteness means or how it situates them in society." White children are everywhere, but their whiteness is effectively invisible and unspoken.

Not sure why anybody is shocked that people are commonly depicted as white in cinema, books, television etc when whites are a majority in the countries they focus on when talking about this subject. If you go to India, would anybody assume to find their media representation of people not brown? Yes we have a history of racism in the west (everywhere does) but it makes sense to me that people in media reflect the demographics of the location the media comes from.

Also the implication seems to be either that we should restrict choice in order to equalize people or that we should purposely hold back from trying to give our kids the best, because racism.

Pretty bizarre article.
