i expect ill be able to solve a lot of my problems once my baby brain falls out & my adult brain grows in
“some people just refuse to get help, like they don’t want to get better”
yes that’s a depression symptom
some of u are really continually surprised that depressed people are really depressed
saying “you’ll never get better with that attitude” to someone with depression will always sound as if you’re telling them to give up. because that ‘attitude’ is, surprise surprise, their depression.
We shouldn’t be surprised that hawking and Einstein were critical of capitalism and imperialism. Materialism is a science and we are objectively correct in our analysis. That some of the most brilliant and committed scientists also saw the same contradictions in the social structures of capitalism is not a surprise.
ok but what is materialism and what does this mean
Getting pretty fucking annoyed at all the ableist reporting on Stephen Hawking’s death so like hey uh just a nice little summary of the core of literally every article about Stephen Hawking’s death and the reason why they fucking suck
Stephen Hawking didn’t achieve the things he did ‘despite’ his disability. He didn’t ‘overcome’ them in order to achieve what he did. He had a physical disability. He did physics. The two aren’t mutually exclusive. Heck, as the fucking ableist mess of an article Buzzfeed posted said, he himself said "My disabilities have not been a significant handicap in my field, which is theoretical physics. Indeed, they have helped me in a way by shielding me from lecturing and administrative work that I would otherwise have been involved in.”
They also included a quote from another physicist that says “He thinks about the universe differently, due to his physical disability. That enabled him to make discoveries that no one else could make. And he has. They have shaken the foundations of physics.”
Stephen Hawking and his scientific discoveries weren’t made in spite of his disabilities. His scientific discoveries and the achievements he made happened with his disabilities, and possibly were informed by them, and his disabilities shouldn’t be shunned or seen as something that held him back while his achievements – that he’s literally said weren’t held back by his disability – are celebrated
how many people can’t name another successful disabled person after Stephen Hawking’s death do u think
