I'm working on a skit of sorts that mocks all the DIE nonsense that has exploded into the mainstream these past few years, and it just hit me that laziness will eventually be classified as a disease similar to what happened with addiction.
So when you ask why your lazy brother who sleeps until 4pm each day and doesn't work should have the same things that a 90hr per week truck driver has, they'll claim the "The Science" is clear. Your brother is a lazy piece of shit through no fault of his own. He was born with a disease and there's nothing he can do about it!
I know this isn't terribly interesting, and this is already sort of happening with disability cons, but does anyone have any other predictions for the crazy things we'll see from field of psychiatry in the coming years?
Already is.... any number of fake diseases whose only purpose is to make you a bad person if you hold the "victim" to any kind of standards.
Depression, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, addictions, anxiety, obesity, most of "autism spectrum".
Long COVID.
Short COVID.
