Woo woo sage and crystals psychotherapist butted in to say they were definitely separate, because ADHD was genetic while autism was generally caused by outside influences like vaccines.
God I hate him so much. He bragged about spending 9 days in Peru on a Ayahuasca vision quest so I’ve been rephrasing it to everyone as shitting and puking until he saw god.
I hate the woo woo crowd I hate the woo woo crowd I hate the woo woo crowd
They’re so reactionary. All the shit they do stigmatizing autism is reactionary norms-enforcing conformist bullshit. All the shit they do demonizing vaccinations and talking about innate wellness and natural healing is eugenicist and designed to kill the “weak” (or the unlucky).
For a while I thought “oh maybe I was wrong because I do see plenty of leftists into woo woo shit. I mean woo woo is objectively incorrect but maybe it’s not as big a red flag as I thought and is not worth struggle sessioning over” and then wouldn’t you know it, the same people who were into that also turned out to be really quick to follow along with the liberals when they decided it was fine to feed the entire working class into the meatgrinder of repeated covid infections. Some of us may get disabled by long covid, but that’s a price the ruling class is willing to pay.
It’s not even that they’re maliciously evil, it’s that in order to believe in woo woo shit you have to be very good at ignoring evidence and engaging in magical thinking, which are the opposite of materialist analysis, and that leads to behavior indistinguishable from behavior borne of reactionary attitudes like “it’s good if the vulnerable die actually”
Antiintellectualism is awful. It’s never been easier to study, the gates are wide open. Want to understand something? Welcome, come talk and learn. We will show you how to pirate textbooks, where to watch free lectures, how to find papers. You can easily look up definitions and concepts, mark up and share documents, talk with millions.
It’s hard sure, knowing things is hard, no way around that sorry.
You find meditating in front of an amethyst helps you handle stress? Probably true, glad you found something to help you. Well done. You think putting an amethyst up your bum will help with the cold? Please fucking read something more rigorous than a blog.
The cold virus is stored in the prostate fluid, you gotta expel it out.
Exactly. There should be no tolerance for this shit.
