> unattended disabled people

What a condescending and all around horrible way to refer to a whole group of people with a plethora of diverse physical limitations. Reading sentences fragments like this as a disabled person basically ruins my day. Thanks for letting me know that I will never be a part of this world.

I would be mightily surprised if the independence of disabled people were even a thought in the 70s.

No, I never said "outcast". We dont outcast children either, we just treat them like non-adults.

> unable to get positive stimuli on your own positive merits

Ahh, the typical reaction, lashing out, and ad-hominem. I am sooo unsurprised.

I am well aware that everyone has their breaking point. What is easy for one individual is hard for another. No worries. However, I never expected phone compulsion to make someone fail the Gom Jabbar test. I mean, seriously? If you have trouble regulating your tool usage, how do you even get through life!

That is what the weak minded always keep telling us. I really don't buy the comparison. Comparing phone compulsion with drug addiction is about as believable as comparing COVID with WWII. Its a convenient comparison, if you want to downplay your own inability to control your behaviour. But thats about it.

Nobody can help the weak minded. However, they need to learn that the rest of us is no longer willing to reat them like grown up adults.

If only those who schedule meetings would know that.

Similarily, MSFT recently announced the upcoming ability to clone your voice for Teams meetings. Extrapolating, in a few months, there will be Teams meetings which are only frequented by avatars. At the end of the meeting, you get an email with the essential content. Weird times ahead.
