The Most Interesting Man In The World, From ImagesAttr
Racial Privilege is Mighty! (5 articles)

    
This series of reflections discusses the much-maligned notion of 'white privilege.' Is white privilege just a conversation-stopper, or is it a genuinely helpful model for understanding racial inequality and oppression? Is white privilege 'privilege from' or 'privilege to,' and what does that even mean anyway? And does white privilege manifest itself in commonly-expressed visions of history, e.g. the 'man of his time' fallacy?



Take Down Neurodiversity (3 articles)

    
The Paleo-Orthodoxy of Medical-Centrism has now been replaced by the similarly hegemonic Neo-Orthodoxy of 'Neurodiversity.' My stern polemics are diverted towards forcibly evacuating and cleansing Neurodiversity from the Neurosphere, and moving towards a truly progressive and spiritually-terroristic 'Neurodivergence.' 
I do not believe any compromise is possible between authentic Neurodivergence and its opportunistic, assimiliationist co-optation in the form of 'Neurodiversity.' True Neurodivergence and Neuropluralism will be relentlessly opposed to Neurodiversity: it's 'eat or be eaten.'Where do you stand?

Immodest Proposals (2 articles)
