Its not about the planet.
It’s about the society we live in.
Nothing we do is normal, every step of our lives is shaped by human made culture living in human made houses, working for a human made economy.
It is a “world” shaped by and for the majority norm, which by evolutionary dice is “neurotypical”
The example of an autistic world would be the same society but if the majority norm was autistic. Wed have building build by autistic humans for autistic humans. Wed design stores and public places to fit our needs.
Things would be catered to our needs instead of ignored.
Imagine if some human group survived evolution with still having a tail and has lived separate from us. Their culture might involve their tail. Some of their tools might be tail operated. If all humans had a tail except a few then this few would be disabled, but there not because the majority does not.
My point is, disabilities are very real. But their experience is not caused by the individual itself being broken/sick but by “how different” they are compared to the people around them.

Disabilities being contextual does not invalidate their existence.
We do not live in an autistic world, hence we face daily challenges of all sizes. Your benefits are a compensation for these challenges.

Sadly enough the pills rarely help with that, its usually made so you can “peform” like everyone else.
I definitely understand your sentiment, I struggle with many of the same thing.
The thing with perspective is, Imagine a world where:
Humans evolved to be more active during evening, night and morning because midday is too bright for everyone.
Where all clothes where made from no itch materials because everyone hates the itchy ones and therefor wont produce clothes with it.
The meal recipe tell you to add x because otherwise it tastes “too loud” and language evolved for people to have a mutual known understanding of what is meant with that.
Etc
In this world we would not be disabled, you would not need a ramp.
But this world is not any different from the one we live in now. The only difference is people like us being the norm therefore human culture adapts to those norms.
My favoriete example is things like a keyboard, it’s so obviously made for 2 hands. Not having 2 hands is a disability in context of a keyboard but we can just build a different keyboard. The keyboard is not the world. That we can build any kind of keyboard is the world.
This is what i mean with “neurotypical world” normal people don’t understand there are others that need things to be different so they never are.
Anyway if you are an adult and medication helps you i am not going to object, you are your own expert a you know what is best for you.

I understand that drugs do wonders for many neurodivergent people.
But it didn’t for me and stories like this is why i am really worried about the sentiment in general.
You’re born neurodivergent, in a neurotypical world. Destined to feel different, to be perceived different. To have the norm of how humans are and behave not fit who you are.
But as a child and teen. What do you known about who you are? How humans are supposed to behave. You still have to learn it all.
So during this time of trying to understand yourself, the world, exploring your own personality. They recommend drugs that inhibit parts of who you are.
And so you may mature and grow up, never knowing who you really are to begin with.

As someone who loves science.
I am so glad i decided to pursue video game development as higher education rather then a scientific field.
Granted the illusions in games are gone, every game is now a dull collection of mechanics and The gap between what modern games are snd how i know they could be is depressingly vast.
But at least i can still enjoy hour long deep dives into quantum mechanics and golden ratio.

I would love to see a documentary about this at some point.
I feel like Disney is generally known to fit the “big evil corporation” stereotype, but surely this wasn’t always the case.
When did perception change? What where the first big fuckups?

You forget the part where you spend 1/8 of your day (if not more) performing complex operations mostly for the sake of “number goes up” because that is important to something called “the economy”.

Thats 3 separate cuts rather than just 1 or 0…
Typical capitalist thinking, multiply the amount of needed labor just for product appearance. Instead of trying to archive the same performance with less labor.

The handful of decent cops in the uk and europe: “Am i joke to you?”
Obviously they still have plenty of incorporated rot but some countries actually train police to de-escalate and are held to standards.
It also helps that gun violence is exceedingly rare when guns are regulated well. Having to fire a bullet can be a legal a nightmare for a cop because of the paperwork and immediate investigation into wether it was appropriate for them to do so.

They 100% can verify a linked Minecraft account and transfer it, or provide a new key.
They just won’t.
I also bet if the US intelligence agencies ask those engineers suddenly have ways to help. Microsoft holds the keys.

I don’t need one but i know plenty of old/disabled people for who a straw is a necessity.
I am happy we moved away from plastic straws being mainstream but i also feel like there should have been possible exceptions for medical use. The paper and aluminium alternatives are really not that good.

That may have been his intention but the many worlds interpretation is still a valid theory considered by equally professional scientists.
Personally i think when we are dealing with proper unknowns its best to not make any assumptions of what is normal/absurd at all. Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.
