The absolute state of this. It's horrifying to see @Forbes specialist reporter for stories on physical disabilities using phrases such as "Generation Fixed", "the scourge of disease and disability" and "disability elimination". Delete this ableist bile. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gusalexiou/2020/09/08/will-elon-musks-neuralink-wipe-disability-off-the-face-of-the-earth/

And I appreciate that some use the medical model of disability and person-first language (more power to you if you do) but the constant referral to 'impairments' and 'people with physical disabilities' in this article only makes me more uncomfortable.

I also know that writers aren't always responsible for the headlines, but the copy alone is appalling. I feel there's a lot of internalised ableism on show here, too. Do better, @Forbes.

H/t to @lilririah for first making me aware of the article, by the way. They’ve also got a good thread on the issues with this @Forbes piece too. https://twitter.com/lilririah/status/1303433536406462465
