@PacificNic I'm not sure how this responds to the point I was making at all honestly. I'm ridiculing the people who think that we can't and shouldn't have advanced medicine and technology to make the lives of sick and disabled people more livable and allow them to function better, and who offer up weak latitudes about how they'll be really nice to disabled people and how you don't really need that medicine as some sort of compensation. Honestly your point is basically exactly the point I'm making fun of — that it's fine not to have that medicine and technology that makes the lives of sick and disabled people much better because indigenous societies "took care of their sick and disabled too." But what you mean by that is essentially being really nice to someone and keeping them fed and stuff while they suffer and die. It's a very hollow olive branch to offer up after just saying that you want to get rid of things that make disabled people's lives livable today. Like saying that societies without advanced medicine and Technology took care of their disabled doesn't really mean the same thing and is honestly not that helpful
