I’ve taught mathematics at community colleges for over 20 years and I’m absolutely convinced that not all people can learn algebra or calculus.
It's obviously genetic, says the mathemetician.
I tried once to ask reddit's Anthropologists about what cultural artifacts are affected by genetics e.g. how lactose intolerance can affect a local culture. The question was apparently racist and then taken down.
I once asked an obvious lead in to a racist argument and was called a racist. It must be a conspiracy.

You write web servers that need more boxes and serve less traffic than was standard 10 years ago. Why would anyone listen to you on any topic.
I remember a few months ago someone posting about how eventually, both digital and physical accessibility won’t be needed due to genetic screening. Society would just send the remaining unscreened people who have disabilities to live in a specific “city” where accommodations are made and the rest of society can move forward unburdened. Lots of upvotes.
Putting aside the Nazi-esque eugenics of that idea, it’s quite the statement to believe that disability only comes about through genetics and not, oh, I dunno, something that can happen to anyone at any time. Glaucoma? Lose a leg in an accident caused by a Tesla self driving car?To the disabled death camp for you!
I hate working in the tech industry :sadness:
Yeah, I love how the Dunning-Kreuger inflicted big brained dorks don't think that screening would impact them.
:lets-fucking-go: "You're not part of the club!"

Ya as a disabled person who didn't become disabled until later in my life, it's fucking disgusting how often I'm attacked and shamed and hated by people who are literally a car accident or a slip on ice or a trip down the stairs away from being in my place. Like this fucking hog idiots don't comprehend that they have fragile animal bodies that can be permanently damaged.
