Menstrual?

Pendulum of memes

well what will happen is it will culminate into 2 big groups, the biggest wanting to remain big so they work on containing the smaller group

which will cause people to split off to join the other group

and then they are in charge and remember the bad containing so they decide to break it free again so everyone can have their say

just like conservative right 50 years ago turning to the bigger left now, and slowly people see its bad and they want freedom again (like voting Trump etc)

it will sort itself out in due time

memes are just a catalyst

shows how stupid authority figures are for getting upset over them, weakening their status towards the internet folk

but bed time for me, it was fun discussing and arguing, disagreeing and agreeing, we should do it again sometime

cheerios

memes are a catalyst for our political direction, culture clashes, etc

thats pretty amazing and fucking scary all at once

So, you're saying that memes move politics? <:Kappa:327142715592540171>

memes condense an entire idea into a quickly consumable artifact

simply a modern extension of "a picture is worth a thousand words"

Yeah.

WHAT THE FUCK

I guess they consider dying a cure for autism?

Which is sad considering autism isn’t a disease, you can’t cure it.

We can't cure it with the tech available to us right now, but we might be able to in the future.

I think it will eventually be treatable.

There’s nothing to cure though. Autism isn’t a sickness, it’s a disorder that effects state of mind.

As someone that has autism: no, fuck you. It absolutely is a disease (disorder is a subset there of) and there absolutely is something to cure.

Sure in the future you might be able to temporarily readjust their state of mind, but the default will always be the same

It is a neurological development disorder.

It's a mental condition just like any other.

And eventually treatable, maybe even cured.

Considering no mental condition in existence has ever been cured

From what I understand about autism, it would be something that probably has to be treated in utero

We do not know what the future might bring.

Treatable sure, but there’s a major difference between take this drug once and you’re good to go vs take this medication once a day every day

Of course.

Assuming that we'll never develop some form of medical tech capable of doing things we can't even imagine now is absurd.

holy heck hes live

Go explain an MRI to a doctor in the US civil war.

I sincerely doubt medicine will ever evolve to the point where humans have learned how to rewire a human brain

We're getting close to being able to stop Alzheimer's from spreading

It's not rewiring a brain, but it's the closest we've gotten to date

because the trials required to do so will almost assuredly be considered torture
