Get the Pseudosciencemug. A highly metaphorical phrase by the poet and historian Michael Dapaah in the song “Man’s Not Hot” which speaks out against anti-intellectualism, deems math to be a discovery and not creation of humans, and communicates that human opinions themselves are means of self-preservation and coping with pain. But, as Michael Dapaah notes, “metaphorical truths exist to facilitate moral living, not comfortable living. A mathematical fact is a literal truth, and if 2+2=5 ever becomes a metaphorical truth in a society—remember cultural relativism—knowledge becomes not only a means of power but a vessel of revolution.”

Get the Reparationsmug. A mental health condition typically characterized by impaired social skills, obsessive interests, repetitive behaviors, and stimming. The spectrum is famously gigantic, and each individual with autism is different. Most people with this condition aren’t savants although some are. Some people with this condition “pass” as not having it as there’s symptom overlap between autistic people non-autistic people.
Hans Asperger was the first psychologist to have observed autism. He thought of it as a neurological difference to be respected. Leo Kanner took credit for his work and introduced a harsher view of autism.
This culminated in autism being thought of as childhood “psychosis” that resulted from bad parenting. Many people believe that autism rates have been increasing when, in fact, autism diagnosis has only been increasing because of the changing medical model.
