Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don't want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.

This scenario is not ruling class.

Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.

This can be considered high end middle class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.

The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.

The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.

They'd laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.

They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.

The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.

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. (In my experience)

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. Even when they can be.

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 an outcast. To have the supposed norms of how humans are and behave not fit how you function.

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 your growing mental system.

And so you may mature and grow up, never knowing who you really are to begin with.

lies to themselves

Drug addiction will do that, and alcohol is a hard one.

To be more technical correct, all ideals go out of the window the moment a shareholder pushes a little.

Apple has been one of the wealthiest countries for years, they don't need money, they can’t be doing this just for money.

They are doing it, to get more money yes, but only in order to make the angle of a line go up so they can sell a comfortable illusion to the people keeping them in charge of the available unimaginable mass of wealth already there.

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. Definitely a good tradeoff.

For tv shows and movies:

Older content is rapidly disappearing/getting less accessible. Especially non english content. Shout out to do your part in legally archiving digital media from public libraries.

At the same time new media is pushed build on Existing mega franchises, everything is the same format with the same formula with no higher goal then the profit-margin.

online: is a different story because google owns it. They decide how youtube presents content to users, what do’s and don’ts get punished or get you recommended more.

Again no goal higher then the profit margin,1 ad for a 30 minute video is not as efficient as 1 every so many shorts. And because shorts are more random and your just consuming the flos its harder to tell the ads apart.

Because shorts are optimised on phone, google also rules how 50% of people use their phone it pushes more people to this more exploitative and less ad blockade device.

Good content still exists, its just a lot harder to find because promoting it is less profitable.

Their is a word for this kind of things falling apart to chase profit. Its enshitification.

Plot twist:

His wife is invited to the same party.

He did not tell her about the sweater beforehand.

Their kink is public sex.

They got found doing the dirty in the kitchen and THAT is why they are no longer invited to parties.

This administrations brand is to sell government work (or non work) for personal favours and there literally accepting “exposure” as payment to signal how normalised they made it.

If you are a big enough name they don’t care how petty the bribe is. As long as it shows the world that they are open for this kind off business.

Every bribe, no matter how small is pure profit if you never owned what you’re selling.

Cannot find the source for the pick but there is this where Bernie covers all the same points in different words:
