Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC

  • You didn't answer my question ("Where did I wrote that") and your answer doesn't make it clear to me if you even understood my point. So I am not sure why you think it's me who isn't having a conversation.

  • I think you have trouble understanding the difference between definitions for words or the context of general terms and your own personal experience.

  • You said a flaw is still a disability even when everyone has it.

    Where did I wrote that?! I wrote that the hypothetical situation where everyone has a broken leg and therefore then it would be considered normal, doesn't invalidate that a broken leg is a handicap in our (non-hypothetical) real life.

    Also, being double jointed is not considered a disability.

    And further, the word is clearly defined (this is translated from my language to English):

    Physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which prevent a person from participating equally in society for longer than six months.

    And what we categorise as a disability is grounded on the definition above. Since autism is categorized as a disability, it wouldn't make sense to diagnose someone with autism if the above is not true.

    I don't see how this can not make sense. It seems so obvious that you do not have a disability when nothing is disabling you. When someone says "I have disability X but it's not disabling" then congratulations, you are cured.

  • No, it's something else than (instead of autism). Perhaps it a-symptomatic or someone has overcome it.

    Imagine someone has a broken leg. It would not make sense to say they still have a broken leg but it's not a disability because society could just change and make it a non-problem. It's irrelevant whether it wouldn't be seen as a problem when everyone had a broken leg or no one would care about it.

  • I don't care. The definition of what a disability is, is clear. When all people would be deaf, would deafness be a disability? No.

    It doesn't matter whether you personally want to be cured or not. If someone has no legs and they like it, it's still a disability because the person has a clear handicap in the current world. It doesn't matter that, in a hypothetical world where heaving legs doesn't matter, it wouldn't be seen as a handicap.

  • What is a disability "for intrinsic reasons" or that is "intrinsically wrong"? Only disabilities that cause direct pain?

    Per definition, a disability is something that gives you a handicap for living in how the world is.

  • Since the idea seems to be that pirating digital goods is a moral imperative, the question what are the consequences if everyone would do it is valid.

  • I think if you do not want or need a cure, it's not a disability. Doesn't make sense to call it a disability then.

  • We see almost nothing about "the setting". Not everything is LOTR, Harry Potter or D&D.

  • Why are people in the comments arguing about what is or isn't possible in D&S or Star Trek or whatever? As far as I can see it, there is no description about what kind of universe this plays in.

    It doesn't make sense to argue whether or not a wheelchair like that "makes sense" in a D&D universe?!

  • Build two cases, calculate for both, drag both case through the entirety of both problems, get two answers, make a case for both answers, end up with two hypothesis. Easy!

  • Do you believe actors etc. would still keep getting paid if everyone would just pirate everything?

  • But you do understand that if nobody would buy a ticket, there wouldn't be concerts?

  • It just seems that what you are saying is that people shouldn't be paid if their work doesn't create something physical.

  • Why should an artist not be paid but a gardener or someone who build your house is supposed to be paid?

    After all, humans build stuff and make stuff with plants without compensation all the time.

    You just sound like a Boomer who thinks work is only work when the product isn't entertaining or art.

  • What would you call it if you make a contract with a gardener, they make your entire garden and then you don't pay them. Since it's not stealing, where is the harm, right?
