i spoke a little about this previously, but this is one of the key problems with liberalism, and this idea of universal equality: retarded people aren't equal to non-retarded people and it's pretty stupid to suggest they are.

how about we stop pretending everybody is equal, or that it would be good if we were, and instead adopt a simple maxim:

from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.

social assistance is built upon the idea of discrimination. disabled people would die horrible deaths if they weren't discriminated against. there is nothing inherently wrong with this; to the contrary it should be embraced.

every time you let the handicapped person park in the handicapped space, guess what? that's discrimination.

every time you modify your language so the down's syndrome kid smiles at something stupid, guess what? that's discrimination.

every time you tell somebody that suffers from depression or bipolar disorder that they don't have to go to work today, or at all, guess what? that's discrimination!

and, we should embrace this to realize that we have different needs. that we cannot build a just or fair society on the principle that one size fits all, but only on the principle that we are all entitled to what it is that we need - regardless of what we can or cannot contribute.

so, go ahead and call the retard a retard. call the crazy person crazy. but, understand that this entitles people to extra needs, not that it denies them of anything.

i hold this truth to be self-evident: that we were neither created by anything, nor that we are equal. it is self-evident that we are all unique genetic combinations.

finishing the record-keeping aspect of the write-up for inri015 was an unexpectedly tedious process, but it is now done. i have not yet started my epic listening process, and will not likely do so tonight. i'm going to do a few more record-keeping type things to prepare for it, and begin the process in earnest when i get back from my appointment tomorrow.

....presuming that i'm not devastated by the discussion.

i have no idea. really. i know that there's something very wrong with my ear. i got the mri to check for structural damage - tmj type issues. i know the radiologist insisted on redoing the mri using a process that is usually intended to search for tumours. but, i have little reason to think i have a tumour.

obviously, if i come home tomorrow with the understanding that i have brain cancer, my life is going to change quite a bit. i don't expect this. but, we'll see what happens.

for right now, i'm just focusing on getting done the things i need to get done in order to pivot to a pure listening phase that i expect to last for roughly the next week. i have two more records to formally close when that is done, inri014 and inri015. i can then move on to the singles for the second record and eventually the second record itself.

closing inri015

audio permanently closed for inri015.
