#22 Of course you are all right, but I'd like to say, cognitive impairment and genetic dysfunction is subjective in the way it affects people. Modern western psychology and even psychobiology likes to lump similar looking statistical subsets together, for the convenience of providing a systematized, checklist driven care pattern for them. But no two cases of human being are alike. Same with children of this sort.
I don't have any experience in child psychology but can say without doubt that Greta Thunberg is one of many who do not suffer from the full spectrum of symptoms the usual sufferers of her diagnosed ailments do. It's possible for mildly affected individuals to be clubbed into a sufferer-group at an early age, enjoying liberties, the attention and tip-toeing that occurs around them. They may then grow up to be quite competent actors, arseholes to the core.
A luxurious lifestyle and enough money provides such a good life that a sufferer may develop an intellect wholly superior to that of many normal children in disadvantaged societies. Little Greta's parents are actors, they are members of a guild that would cut of their arm if there were fame and money in it. What they've done here is open a pandora's box for all children, trained and unleashed an out-of-control individual to be managed by lobbyists like a mascot.
The worst of their crime is not the climate shit. It is the politicization of very young children, introducing activism and organized disobedience to junior high. It may look harmless stupidity today, but it is catching a momentum, being normalized in schools as we speak. |
