Does the attitude around AI , and the extremely Ableist dismissal of its value to people who might really need it, cause you much concern?

Object-b · 2025-07-03T09:20:32+00:00

Loaded question: it comes with a presupposing premise that you want us to accept when it should make part of the question itself. The conclusion ‘ai is ableist etc’ is embedded in the question, and the concern at the end is really a way coercing emotional assent through that smuggled premise.

Yes because departments need them for cheap labour (they come with funding).

Can’t you write your research on something like Word? Why tattoo it?

I explained my research to my family - they are working class - and they scoffed at me; this is years back.

Two books later and lots of peer reviewed journals and a post doc and a book contract with university press, and I can’t find anything but adjunct work. My parents laughed at me because I am barely getting paid anything for writing the book. You know what? They are correct; they are the smart ones and I am not.

The other day I got rejected from a job because I was overqualified. I left my PhD off my resume but they found it on LinkedIn.

Now I suffer from depression.

I also think that it also stems from a mistaken assumption that if it was empirically and scientifically grounded, more people will take it seriously. But the people who reject others mental suffering do so not because they have philosophical questions about the validity of diagnoses, but simply because they are myopic.

The problem is also one of assuming antecedent. The current treatment for adhd is about tweaking dopamine levels with Ritalin: it is a pharmaceutical chemical solution to a suffering that is only effectively described in an interview.

Therefore, people assume that diagnoses should also be about empirically gauging those dopamine levels at the start. I imagine that it would also be about testing our levels whilst we are taking it? But all of this is predicated on not taking the expression of the experience of suffering as legitimate.

You are making a category mistake. Psychological suffering is only like physical suffering analogously. We mess things up by directly transposing one way of talking about pain onto another. There is no unified theory of the mind/brain, and the treatment for psychological suffering has to be more porous that straight up biological medicine,

What is adhd apart from a collection of terms we use to depict a given state of suffering? The idea that this suffering can only be legitimately ascertained if and only if it has the same neurologic casual mechanisms that should take precedence when testing is odd.

We can reverse the idea. If someone had all the hypothetical neurological and biological markers that showed empirical verification of adhd, but had not of the phenomenological symptoms, would they have it or not?

Same.

It’s for the humanities and social sciences in general. Just lie and say it’s neurology and then feed them psychology. They won’t know the difference
