Running against time

First question: is it an exageration to say humanity is in crisis? I find that doubt quite (tragically) funny. Because if the answer is "yes", probably 98% of people everywhere are concentrating on the wrong things in their lives. And if the answer is "no", then one can be absolutely sure that there's too much air time and space in papers, magazines and internet dedicated to that issue, because it's not that bad after all.  Plus these guys from press would be deliberately missinforming people, which is something terrible if the subject is human existence being soon swept from the face of the Earth.

Second question is how can we doubt about our own iminent extinction as a species, and still hear all sorts of bullshit everyday and doing nothing about the (possible) real problem?

I don't have the answers at this point. And even if I did, it wouldn't probably make that much of a difference because I'm no one, and people need reassurance from experts and geniuses. Problem is even these guys don't agree enough to alert the rest of us about the best course of action to take.

Apparently the catastrophic forecasts are quite likely to happen as soon as in a few decades (which is not lots of time even in the insignificantly short human lifespan). So let's suppose we are in the midst of a crisis and that no genius in charge is currently capable to outline a feasible solution. This has a powerful implication about human beings and especially society.

Because in a situation like that, I think it would be basically rationale to want to have as many heads possible thinking about a solution and timely implementing it. So my third question is: can we afford to loose brains that could help us get out of this mess (that apparently we've made ourselves)?

I think the logical answer is a clear no. And that's absolutely incompatible to excluding physically disabled people from society, so they can't realize their full intelectual potential. Because those could be the very brains to help us all out of the path for destruction.

So if you don't really care about disabled people themselves, be selfish! Think about yourself, your existence and that of all your loved ones. The brain that could take you all to a safe spot from disaster can be that of the guy in the wheelchair.  He would normally just be left alone, isolated at some dark corner because he's not similar enough to everybody else.

But again, usually people that are similar enough also have similar enough ideas and thoughts. And so far, none of these were able to clearly tell how endangered humans really are or worse yet, come up with any good solution in case we are really screwed.

So forget about inclusion for doing good to others. Advocate for inclusion to save your own precious ass!
