Abstract

This paper is about the Ableist's subconscious movement to gut civil rights laws for people with capabilities (people with a condition that is different than the majority).

Dependency

I assert that Ableist financial policies create dependency for people with capabilities. I argue financial dependency is the underlining reason that human rights for people with capabilities have failed. The fault of this failure lies with the complacency and social irresponsibility of people with capabilities and the welfare Ableist.

Republicans Individual Responsibility And Capability

I assert that the Republicans have supported independent living through fiscal conservatism, federalism and liberalism since before the American Civil War. The central theme behind these concepts is individual responsibility.   They supported independent living for the slaves. The Republicans see people as capable of self-support and determination with little government aid or intrusion.    This ideology includes people with capabilities.

Long-term Welfare

Charity or private welfare started before the year 1000 for the blind, deaf and people with physical differences. The Ableist has supported a safety net through redistribution of income starting in 1933 and expanded in the 1960's. This safety net was essential to the independent living movement for people with capabilities.

But now this safety net public policy costs the taxpayer billions of dollars while making people with capabilities desirous of avoiding the struggle of the individual and social responsibility called earning a living.

All things be equal, most people will accept goods and services for free if given a choice. This is why in most Holy Texts, God requires people to work for food. God does not give us food for free to avoid creating dependency and laziness.
However, having a medical condition can be a seductive reason to justify not working and accepting free goods and services.   But in most cases the medical condition is not the true the reason for not wanting to work. The true reason is people, for the most part, would avoid work if they can obtain free goods and services unless they have a burning desire to achieve.

In general, I was a Republican in the 1980's because I am a fiscal conservative. Fiscal conservatives believe most tax dollars are wasted on government social programs that make people hate work and make them dependent.

ADA

The seeds of the Americans With Disabilities Act - ADA germinated during fiscal conservative President Reagan's administration. The ADA is not the only human rights law for people with capabilities.  The belief was that our nation could reduce tax dollars for Social Security Income and welfare by granting civil rights to people with capabilities fostering individual responsibility, self-help, self-reliance, independence and free market employment. Reagan believed in promoting the work ethic and entrepreneur spirit through the free market economy, which would reduce welfare dependency.

President Bush I harvested Reagan's seeds of independence by passing ADA. The ADA was passed to combat the enemies of independence:

1. Disability unemployment - the ADA assumes that the vast majority of people with capabilities are capable of gainful employment, irrespective of their functional limitations, and that the primary impediments to their obtaining and maintaining a job are environmental barriers, such as inaccessible workplaces, and attitudinal barriers, such as employer prejudice against disability. Experience has demonstrated that people with very significant functional limitations, such as high-level quadriplegic and respirator dependence, have been able to work if given appropriate training and support. However, disability unemployment is at 80%.

2. Environmental barriers - ADA was intended to remove transportation, service and physical barriers in the public and private sectors. As of this writing such barriers still existence in abundance.

3. Altitudinal Barriers - When ADA was passed the main issue was the manner in which others perceived with people with capabilities as not "able.” This barrier still exists but there is a more insidious barrier - the self-dependency welfare barriers. This barrier requires people with capabilities to prove they are not "able" so that they qualify for Social Security Income.

The original purpose of social programs was to provide a short-term safety net while folks develop skills to work. I benefited from such programs and I became a taxpayer, and not a tax user in 1989. However, the programs did not require me to work to get free money. I just had to be poor and disabled. My desire to struggle work was given to me by my Jamaican Father and Black American Mother.

I contend that most people desire all the benefits of society without having the burdens of earning the benefits. God and nature forces us to act to receive benefits. Further, God makes it difficult to act - the work struggle. Giving away benefits for free removes the struggle to work unless there is a love of work. So welfare kills the need to struggle to work.


California Ableist

California Ableist believes in “helping” the “disabled” through government assistance. This "helping" paradigm is derived from the ideas of sin, suffering and charity related to "monsters." Monster Theory included people with physical or mental differences. Monsters require charity for their sin and suffering. This help paradigm is ancient and is embedded in the subconscious minds of people.

So in California human rights laws for people with capabilities are treated as help laws. In 1968 such laws were passed then amended to add stringent enforcement provisions. In 2008 and 2012 California started reducing the enforcement provisions. As of this Article Ableist are attempting to reduce enforcement further. Why?

The reason relates to the charity rule - no one is required to give help. Human rights lawsuits should not force people to help the “disabled.” 

Conclusion

On April 30, 2012, I freed a 19 year ago girl with one leg. She was locked in subconscious disability mental slavery. I unlocked the key to her prison. The girl is attractive, hard working and smart - college material.

On August 11, 2015, she told me she deliberately became pregnant and she wanted a child without a man or husband. I was mad. But this was partly my doing. I taught her she had the right to decide her life. She decided a path I disfavored. The Ableist wants to take away her right to be single mother with one leg.

No matter how many human rights laws are passed, people with capabilities will never be freed until we stop the Ableist subconscious mind.

Abstract

This short paper introduces differential familiarity as a method of reducing cognitive dissonance Ableist feel towards people with capabilities (people with a condition that is different than the majority).

A Small Mountain

I live on a small mountain. There are steep paved roads and sidewalks everywhere. On this beautiful mountain there are four developments: a residential community[1], a commercial shopping center, a horse racing track[2] and a casino.[3] This mountain is located in Carmona, Cavite Philippines. [4]

The residential and commercial areas are built on the mountain slopes. The racetrack and casino are built on the bottom of the slopeless mountain. I regularly wheel around the steep slopes alone. I do business with the racetrack. I rarely go to the casino, and when I do, I go with my wife.

On August 8, 2015, I wanted to be safely alone. Emphasis on "safely." I am from the United States. I am use to going alone. However, foreigners living in any different country must be diligent as to safety.

I wore a shirt and tie then headed towards the casino. On my way down the first slope a resident security guard asked if I wanted cooperative assistance.[5] (In the Jewish and Christian belief systems, Adam was alone with animals. Eve was created to give Adam reciprocal mutual cooperative assistance. Humans are born helpless. This helpless limit is overcome by cooperative assistance. Using the same Judo-Christian SSCD backdrop, Satan helped Eve with her desire to be curious. This is superior inferior assistance. Slavery and the prefix "Dis" derived their origins from the superior inferior assistance model of humanity.) I consented.

We went down three slopes. Before going down the fourth and last slope, he asked where was I going. I told him the casino. He radioed in something about Sir Pinnock (me) then and assisted me down the slope. I pushed myself to the racetrack. The head guard greeted me. I stay there for a while then went to the casino entrance and the guard refused to let me in.

Note, the residential area is not accessible to persons using wheelchairs. The casino is completely accessible. So why was I discriminated against at the accessible facility? - Differential Familiarity.

Differential familiarity reduces cognitive dissonance, which refers to a situation involving conflicting attitudes, beliefs or behaviors.[6] Differential familiarity or reduction[7] is when a different external stimulus enters the brain, it is initially responded with fear and apprehension, but after repeatedly perceiving the stimulus the subconscious brain becomes more familiar with the stimulus. The subconscious mind likes familiarity and comparative familiarly (cognitive fluency[8]). Comparative familiarity is when the different stimulus to stored information in a person’s brain, an external brain or external source.

Differential familiarity explains the variance in the behavior of the security guards. The resident guards regularly see a Black guy in a wheelchair push up and down steep slope without assistance. The racetrack security knew this Black guy from prior business dealings. So both were familiar with my differently handsome features and capabilities.

However, the casino guard never saw a good-looking Black man in a wheelchair. Fear possessed his brain. He called his boss. The boss stated I needed a companion. I pretended to be violently angry. I found controlled anger is far more effective than rational reasoning. I also texted my worker to translate. Four people told me I needed a companion. I said I would sue everyone. They agreed to let me in. I was not done making their subconscious minds familiar with me. I demanded 100,000 pesos or free drinks. They gave me free drinks!

[6] In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values. Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance focuses on how humans strive for internal consistency. An individual who experiences inconsistency (dissonance) tends to become psychologically uncomfortable, and is motivated to try to reduce this dissonance—as well as actively avoid situations and information likely to increase it. Festinger, L. (1957). A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance. California: Stanford University Press. Festinger, L. (1962). "Cognitive dissonance". Scientific American 207 (4): 93–107. doi:10.1038/scientificamerican1062-93.

[7] Reducing: Cognitive dissonance theory is founded on the assumption that individuals seek consistency between their expectations and their reality. Because of this, people engage in a process called dissonance reduction to bring their cognitions and actions in line with one another. This creation of uniformity allows for a lessening of psychological tension and distress. According to Festinger, dissonance reduction can be achieved in four ways. In an example case where a person has adopted the attitude that they will no longer eat high fat food, but eats a high-fat doughnut, the four methods of reduction are:

1.     Change behavior or cognition ("I will not eat any more of this doughnut")
2.     Justify behavior or cognition by changing the conflicting cognition ("I'm allowed to cheat every once in a while")
3.     Justify behavior or cognition by adding new cognitions ("I'll spend 30 extra minutes at the gym to work this off")
4.     Ignore or deny any information that conflicts with existing beliefs ("This doughnut is not high in fat")
 Festinger, L. (1957). A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance. California: Stanford University Press.
[8] Cognitive Fluency: Even though it may be at a subconscious level, people are affected by how easy or difficult it is to think about something. Not surprisingly, it turns out that people prefer things that are easy to think about rather than things that are difficult to think about. This feeling of ease or difficulty is known as cognitive fluency. Cognitive fluency refers to the subjective experience of the ease or difficulty of completing a mental task. It refers not to the mental process itself, but rather the feeling people associate with the process. Fluency is important because of its power and influence over how we think about things and exerts its power in primarily two ways: its subtlety and its pervasiveness. Fluency guides our thinking in situations where we have no idea that it is at work, and it affects us in any situation where we weigh information. The full force of its power comes from the fact that we often misattribute the sensation of ease or difficulty in thinking about something to the thing itself.
