Literally everyone is one accident, illness, or old age away from being disabled in some way.

yeah I was surprised to come across the statistic that in the UK about quarter of the population has some kind of disability (defined as "a physical or mental health condition or illness that has lasted or is expected to last 12 months or more, and which condition and/or illness reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities")

I get a 404 error for that non-paywall link. So here's a mirror: https://archive.ph/MgTmM

Also I'm vaguely pissed that Musk considers Iain Banks his favourite author while managing to completely misunderstand the Culture's values. He even named his droneships after characters from the books 🤢

yeah, I'm still subscribed, but don't like their trajectory, a lot of their new videos feel like they're framed too sensationalistically and light on substance. I tried out their historical channel ("Kurzgesagt After Dark") when it launched, but that was even worse, just focusing on the scandal and suffering of their subjects 😮‍💨

I skip a lot of their videos nowadays, did this AI one too bc I knew it was bullshit.
