@Herrera95 . This is what happens when we have a discussion :
Me : *Explaining my point of view and presenting dozen of scientific papers demonstrating what I say*
You: "Don't care, won't read"
You: *Saying BS*
Me : *Explaining why what you just said is BS referencing to the papers and documentation I shared previously*
You: "You are delulu"
Me: "You are antiscientific"
You: "No, YOU are antiscientific"
Me: *Presenting evidences and research papers*
You: "What you share is only pseudoscience"
Me: "I'm waiting for your own evidences"
You: *Present nothing*
You: "you are antiscientific and you don't understand science"
Me: "lol, U funny"
Also I'm still waiting your reaction to this information:
Are you not comparing your disability to another by saying you'd rather lose both of your legs than to deal with what you're going through, implying that you'd be better off with that one rather than your current one?
No. Because I'm not comparing my situation with the situation or context of someone else. I'm saying what
"I" would prefer because I know very well that in that situation I would actually be able to do the things I want, something that is impossible for me right now. At NO POINT have I ever said that my situation was worse than someone else. For some people, losing a limb might actually be worse that what I'm living right now, for me, its just not the case, I would actually prefer that deal.
That's why I explained to you why you can NEVER compare your situation with the situation of another individual in the case of a disability. Because its not the % of the disability that create the majority of the problem, its how the
CONTEXT of the person
RELATES to this disability.
Lets imagine for one second that I have no purpose in life and that I'm okay with no relationships and a very bad environement. Then my condition is not really that bad. After all I don't work and I have the time to watch youtube all day.
Thing is: I have a dream. And my dream - for me - is the most important thing in my life. Even more important that my OWN life (Blame One Piece and Naruto for that, they raised me.) I would literally give 10 years of my life span just to be able to accomplish it. And right now I'm can't even work to follow that dream. So i'm literally waking up everyday with the feeling that I'm dying slowly without any solution. On top of that, I see no one, I can't even maintain my environment or my health and I can't go outside. That's why - in my OWN context - I'm living in hell.
You're idealistic because you want the world to run in a way that conforms to your ideals when in reality, it doesn't
I'm literally the opposite. I want people to stop trying to make the world run the way they want it to be and instead let it run how it REALLY IS.
Again, you are failing to understand that I'm the most materialistic person on this server (at least, it seems to be the case). My mindset does not come from my ideals it comes from the reality of the world itself.
Let me give you an example. For you when someone say "I believe that people can achieve anything that they want if they make enough effort", do you feel like its similar to what I'm saying ?
In reality its the opposite. People who are saying that are coming from an idealistic point of view. They consider that the mind is prevalent and therefore can surpass any environement constraint.
That's
Not
How
Reality
Works.
In reality we are the result of our genes, our social context and our environement. In other word, with our current system, people are not born with the same chances and some people - despite their effort - will never be able to achieve what they want because of their determination or effort.
What I want, is to change that and to change that we need to understand how reality work. For example we need to follow the scientific and sociological consensus that explain that we are raised with a number of capitals (economic, social and cultural), the strenght of those capital is what makes the difference - in our society - between someone who is in the upper class and someone in the working class.
So to change society and create more equality, with must NOT be idealistic and think that the mind can surpass anything, in reality we must be the opposite and be materialist. We must understand that society is formed by social structures and that those structures are influenced by the environment, the system itself and the concepts that is helping said system to maintain itself.
One of those concept is meritocracy. An IDEALISTIC and MYTHOLOGIC concept about the structure of society believing that those who are successfull deserve their place because of their own efforts. Like most idealistic concept, this is completely bogus. That's not how reality works or should work and this is therefore a system that is a simple illusion. A way to legitimize capitalism and liberalism because we are too afraid to change for another system.
As you can see, accusing me of being overally idealistic is completely missunderstanding what I'm actually saying or believing in.
If you want to describe reality, You should rather say that I'm overally materialistic, this would actually be true.
And yet...

People who recognize their suffering in others tends to be empathic. So when you suffer, there is a high chance that you will be empathic toward others.
The scientific process is much more deeper than having a bunch of words in a "paper" with your name on it.
Indeed. And it start by not considering an entire field of study as pseudoscience simply because it doesn't fit your viewpoint. :)
Accuse me of whatever you want
I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just witnessing how you are taking the side of ableism, that's all
I can’t in good faith just enable you and your unhealthy habits.
Imagine saying to an elephant that he is unhealthy for being big and eating with his trunks...
