Our goal should be to do the same - and to make sure a few very rich boomers dont get to cash out and implode this whole system.

Exactly. Also, it isnt like they are just getting money. They paid for that pension, and that was money that was used to invest in the world we live in. The roads, electricity that we use, fiber, etc, thats the fruit of the work of past gens. Good that they have pensions now.

This is, of course, very fair, and I was thinking about Europe where normal people usually have access to meds for their illnesses.

I was thinking of people that can't move and therefore can't run away/find food/resist anyone from homegrown looters to a foreign army. And iw as including most elderly people. Half of them (and a quarter of all adult people today have some level of disability. (Eurostat statistic)

but you know, this very much is splitting hairs lol it isnt like we can choose. It kind of boils down to having a positive midset and being grateful - and im sure you can be upset at the world (i very much am) and still be grateful, intermittently, like me lol

I am not disagreeing - you have your experience. however, meds can help, you can talk to a stranger on the internet and they know what you mean, youre not the first to die in a siege or invasion or plague, and i have my MS medicine, and nobody has tried to kill us all since 1945 - for now...

This is true. But I would argue this pathologization is precisely part and parcel of the same scientism that led to racial science. bUt ThE sKuLL Is suCh aNd sUcH!
Things are not always bad and again, measuring bad things is dumb. But they werent great. SOME disabled people were cared for. SOME.

Fair - and id be the first to argue once humans graduate from being shit people into creating ideologies that justify being shit, thats when things get worse, and thats why the n word is worse than midget.
but foucaults history of madness (great book) shows things were at times very bad.

Thinking about this makes me 1) glad i live in the 21st century and 2) makes me realize that the depravity of humans is pretty shit and usually boils down to the same - exploitation, rape, death, with a convenient explanation that usually means "it's for your own good" :\

What's worse? being put in a ship for 3 months and then worked to death, or being put in a room, barely fed, and raped repeatedly by your captors, as many disabled women were? I dont know, but i dont think thats the point of saying slurs are bad.

mate for centuries every person with a serious disability would be left to die, lived in a cage in town (middle ages vagrancy) or was put in an asylum where they were tortured into madness... Let's be real, being disabled was historically pretty fkn bad.

Also, honestly, anything that comes out of that much of an obsession together with the skill to follow through on that level of perfectionism is worth a watch.
it is good that things can be like this. We should strive for this level of commitment to art and craft more often.

I suspect many people are just less online over Christmas. Trolls are an unavoidable reality these days, and it probably changes those terminally online...

Amazing, think of the shareholder value that is going to be created once this innovation is cornered and monopolized by a company and most people can't afford it!!!

Not random that antisemitism has been at its maximum when money has been it's most concentrated (feudalism, early modernity, late 19th century early 20th century)

I would only add: "a few billionaires/ money have always controlled things" TO A CERTAIN EXTENT. Up to people to limit that extent.
But Indeed, the aesthetic similarity isn't random. It is because blaming Jews for money's control was politically expedient in the past, and can be again...

This could be said for many more areas, but one that immediately comes to mind is policy messaging and thought leadership. If you're writing a briefing for an event that matters and all I'm reading is slop, I got to ask "should you be employed here?"
