more recently he has decided that expressing ableism to own the libs is more important than being correct.

I already know these people are eugenicists who would rather die than think about sociology for one minute, but still I feel the need to say: god what a cunt.

Or rather die than come up with good metaphors to attack his shitty strawman. He knows his Everest metaphor is shit -- some summiters are blind or double amputees, and the amount of equipment ableds need to climb everest is *evidence* of the social model -- he backpedals halfway through, but he makes the metaphor anyway! NASA is literally trying to figure out how to design space travel for disabled astronauts, which he'd know if he'd typed two words into google.

He's just... being a cunt.

Also the distance between the social model of disability and transhumanism is measured in nanometers, and yet these assholes are so offended that disabled people might be using the enhancements of their eugenicist dystopias.

These motherfuckers.

"We can transcend the limitations of our physical bodies via technology! Wait, no, not like that!"

obliterating all the rules of physical existence EXCEPT the ones that help maintain hierarchies they like

I have seen the same take rolled out for transgender people as well.

it's a shame, because gender transition stuff is probably one of the most successful "human biohacking" type things in common use today, and it's also just... really cool. alas, bigotry

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
