# Mental Retardation

Mental retardation is an official medical term for someone severely limited in mental abilities, a so called *retard*. Examples of retarded people are those with serious brain damage, patients after lobotomy, with Down syndrome, infants, capitalists, feminists, headshot survivors, autists, web developers, elderly with advanced dementia, CEOs, lawyers, businessmen, YouTube coders, pedophobes, SJWs, zoomers, managers, redditors, americans etc. Additional division of retards is to *idiot* (below 25 IQ), *imbecile* (below 50 IQ) and *moron* (below 70 IQ). The mental retardation category used to be reserved for those with far below average intellect in whom the condition was so crippling that they wouldn't be able to function in the normal population and therefore required constant care like an eternal child; in 21st century however genetic and societal degeneration have struck society down below any imaginable limits so that retardation is now the norm and the entire society comprises only of retards always busy with incredibly stupid, unnecessary, harmful retarded bullshit (e.g. capitalism, "social justice" movements, wars, "human rights" movements, LGBT, feminism, consumerism, marketing, censorship, fashion, literally pretending to be animals, pretending to be other genders etc.) and so, for hurting the feelings of vast majority, the term *retardation* came to be declared "offensive" and is being systematically replaced with various feel-good euphemisms such as "autism", "ADHD", "neurodivergence" etc., albeit with the same meaning: the worst observable level of stupidity just above inanimate objects such as potatoes and rocks. The fact itself that society has chosen to deal with the problem of retardation simply by inventing a few nicer sounding names for it confirms more than anything else that indeed, society is retarded as hell. In other words *retardation* in the past implied that someone wasn't capable of most basic reasoning and rationality, which manifested by side effect such as not being able to tie one's shoes, wipe one's own ass or eat with knife and fork, and today (with AI assistants, shoes that don't need tying etc.) it stands for stupidity of a slightly advanced kind -- when it's now possible to solve all the world's problems and lead happy lives, retardation means someone still behaves stupidly and perpetuates misery of everyone else for example by counting green papers all day, wasting electricity on meaningless computation, killing others over a line drawn on the map or inventing artificial slaveries so that humans can have less free time and can do more work instead of machines. In the new context we can therefore define retardation simply as disagreement with less retarded society.

*Traditional potato retard.*

Are you offended? Remember that retardation is a spectrum, everyone is retarded to some degree and in different ways, and it is possible to largely unretard oneself with enough dedication and self education. It's never the retard's fault that he is retarded -- how could people not be when they grow up in world like ours? Let us remind ourselves that retards are people like anyone else, just closer to animals, and perhaps that can even make them more bearable. We must love them like we love all living beings, even if they're doing stupid and potentially harmful shit.

Things typical for a retard include:

- general:
  - Breathes with open mouth, may be making grunting noises and dripping saliva on the floor, moves his lips when reading (if he can read), bumps into walls and sometimes gets stuck like an NPC in a video game.
  - Supports at least one of the following: capitalism, LGBT, feminism, nazism, any other kind of fascism, bloat, censorship, "social justice", political correctness, libertarianism, liberalism, laws, intellectual property, Ukraine, Russia, USA, any country, any form of violence such as self defense, any kind of bullshit, ...
  - Doesn't support LRS.
  - Involuntarily wets or shits his pants.
  - Is obsessed with so called "productivity" and thing such as "motivation" (loves inspirational quotes and "stories"), buys courses and things such as tutoring and "coaching", can't study on his own or make himself do something without paying someone else to make him.
  - Exhibits shortcut thinking and similarly to an animal reacts mostly to keywords and preprogrammed phrases like "fairness", "protection", "justice" and "democracy", possesses simplistic black and white worldview (typically gets confused when confronted with LRS, but for lack of other options that would require a few more brain cells and fewer chromosomes is quick to sort it either under far right or far left, the only two categories that exist in his world).
  - Easy to manipulate, eats propaganda for breakfast, is affected by ads and peer pressure, falls for all the standard tricks such as slowly boiling the frog, leading the pig to the slaughterhouse, humorwashing, openwashing, hype, fear culture and so on and so forth. Easily gets vaccinated, chases the needle like a heroin addict.
  - Abstains from masturbation and/or watching porn.
  - Goes absolutely nuts when you tell him you support pedophilia.
  - Is either atheist, Christian, Muslim or superstitious, believes in ghosts, chakras, kung-fu, pyramid schemes, power of the mind and similar crap.
  - Is optimistic and "positive", bluepilled, believes there exists good and that not "everything is so bad", often says things like "it's not that bad" or "it's not a perfect system, but it's the best we have".
  - Listens to music and/or watches movies made after 2010, doesn't mind shitty CGI or movies shot on digital or even "AI generated content" (he may say "it's not that bad"), must have music playing during everything he does, but never listens to complex music with soul, instead has a playlist full of 3 hour long ambient electro remixes of someone breathing.
  - Is proud of something, often about being "part of some group" (nation, movement, disability, gender, race, political party, team at work, ...).
  - Does crazy shit typical for 21st century such as using "personal pronouns", being a furry, brony, anime fan, "queer" or whatever else is currently popular.
  - Has tattoos, piercing, colored hair, colored nails, extravagant clothes and/or haircut, makeup, wears a suit, animal costume, body decorations etc.
  - Is extroverted (but claims to be introverted and shy), social, popular, possibly even has a spouse and kids (retards are popular with other retards and a retarded society run by retards naturally rewards people for being retarded). If he's an ultraretard by chance and doesn't manage to get sex, falls into depression and dies. Gets bored when alone with his own thoughts (or rather lack of), loves to talk excessively.
  - Needs citations, credibility, consensus, authorities, bosses, representatives and heroes.
  - Herd mentality, just does what others do and thinks what others think. Alternatively he may also try to do what's just best for himself (from his point of view), if confronted with the question of morality, answers something like "just doing my job", "someone else would do it anyway" etc.
  - Talks on the phone by holding it in front of his mouth as if he wants to eat it instead of just normally holding it next to his ear. Also doesn't know headphones exist, always listens to music or watches videos by playing them on loud no matter what people around him think.
  - Says he has "brain fog", ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, aphantasia, "has never been good at math", has bad memory and bad spatial skills, had bad grades but HEY, THERE ARE ALSO OTHER TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE! This may go as far as him claiming he has high IQ but his "brain fog" and ADHD makes it difficult for him to think so he only "looks like" he is stupid but inside he's actually smart and maybe borderline genius, just unable to execute the thinking part.
  - Has high self confidence.
  - For some reason accepts and even likes competition because "it's natural", "people are competitive" and so on, but will still unnaturally accept the help of modern medicine when he should otherwise naturally die of sickness despite the fact that living organisms commonly die of diseases. By some bizarre mental gymnastics seems to have convinced himself that if we stop competing for food, we will also have to ban his favorite falling gem video game because competition must be either everywhere or nowhere.
  - Follows fashion (in clothes, technology, speech or whatever), has an "image" and "style", cares about how he's perceived and therefore reacts extremely emotionally to being "defamed", sometimes even to criticism of his favorite brands (Mac, Emacs, vim, Arch, ...).
  - Is vulnerable to addictions of any kind, be it alcohol, smoking, gambling, drugs, overeating, porn, video games, Internet, social approval or anything similar. This is due to his mind and spirit being so weak that it can never win over the primal instinct-driven impulsive behavior of seeking quick rewards and self interest.
  - For similar reasons as above he is unwilling to bear any slight discomfort such as sitting on a normal chair instead of a special luxurious gaming chair or watching a video in 720p instead of whatever the highest achieved resolution to date is. He will give up any portion of his freedom, dignity and time to increase his comfort by any fraction of a percent.
  - Argues with people on the Internet.
  - Is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE to convince by the most solid logical reasoning of simplest truths, it's absolute waste of time to try to argue with him because he doesn't know how logic works, and in fact most of the time he doesn't even know what he's actually arguing about or FOR himself, he is only mindlessly opening mouth and letting out sounds because that's what his primitive nervous system is preprogrammed to do, there is no goal or meaning in conversation with him other than passing time while waiting for the next event to happen. He is following a simple algorithm that consists of instructions such as "If you say A and someone else says B, you must keep defending A because reasons!". The only thing that convinces him that *X* holds is hearing a lot of other people (preferably celebrities on TV or other kinds of "authority") say that *X* holds. Because smart people quickly see this and will soon quit discussing anything serious with him, he actually thinks he's extremely smart because he misinterprets this as "winning an argument against someone smart".
  - Likes to dance, laugh out loud, run around like a monkey -- for example whenever he succeeds at something, he MUST do a happy dance, he's just excited like a Chihuahua and can't control himself.
  - Gets offended by words.
  - Has high chance of appearing on the front cover of a magazine.
  - Uses voice chat in games.
  - Adds epilepsy warnings and disclaimers to everything.
  - Is eager to let everyone know his opinions and tastes by force so he wears T-shirts with writings and his laptop is covered in stickers.
  - Highly desires to work -- not to do something good but to be employed and given arbitrary senseless orders that will give him a sense of meaning he is unable to find on his own.
  - Uses money.
  - Is a genius at being stupid, always surprises you by inventing new unbelievable ways to fuck things up.
  - Follows politics and votes in elections.
  - Chases mainstream "success": money, job, promotion, luxury, consumption, ...
  
  - ...
- English speech/writing patterns:
  - Uses apostrophes to form plurals, for example: "1's and 0's".
  - "just because ... doesn't mean ..."
  - "the reason is because ..."
  - "how it looks like"
  - "would of"
  - "less people"
  - "could care less"
  - "problematic"
  - "person", "gender neutral pronouns" and other politically correct newspeak
  - Uses buzzwords (orchestration, software solution, inclusivity, ...)
  - Is afraid of words like nigger and retard
  - ...
- computer-related:
  - Uses smartphone (or anything "smart" for that matter), either willingly or under the convenient excuse of "needing it for work" (but will still happily use it even in his spare time for completely non work related stuff).
  - Uses anything proprietary (video games, Windows, Mac, Discord, ...), makes excuses for why proprietary data are acceptable in video games, when confronted about it quickly resorts to rationalization (something with "non functional data").
  - Uses GUI programs, says it is "intuitive".
  - Says "Linux" instead of GNU/Linux, probably discovered "Linux" in 2024.
  - Says "open source" instead of free, possibly even thinking that free in "free and open source" means gratis and calls anything "source available" open source.
  - Says "coding" instead of "programming".
  - Says "app" instead of "program".
  - Doesn't mind touch screens.
  - Tool obsession: audiophilia, mechanical keyboard obsession, curved monitors, text editor hopping, IDE hopping, distro hopping, ricing, WM hopping, programming language/paradigm hopping, ...
  - Supports privacy, encryption, anonymity, memory safety, sandboxes, updates, certificates etc.
  - Uses crypto.
  - Uses "AI".
  - Uses Rust.
  - Uses shitty licenses including: copyleft, NC, ND, "no license", "here I made my own license", ...
  - Likes anything labeled "modern technology", watches tech tubers.
  - ...

**Retardedness** also stands for general stupidity in any regard -- to provide a classic example: spending centuries of blood and sweat on development of technology that will do work for you and then be like "oh NO, this technology is gonna do work for me!" Hence we can say the following things are retarded: capitalism, wars, military, censorship, pseudoleftism, political correctness, fascism, privacy, LGBT, feminism, Rust, JavaScript, furrydom, superheroes, consumerism, marketing, law, bloat, mechanical keyboards, cancel culture, hero culture, "gender studies", rights culture, update culture, PR, egoism, self interest, "science popularization", Windows, desktop metaphor, copyright, fashion, money, makeup, tattoos, disclaimers, propaganda, curved monitors, politics, artificial obsolescence, OOP, liberalism, Chinese writing system, Marxism, USA, ricing, distrohopping, audiophilia and so on. By definition anything that less retarded society opposes is retarded.

Wanna see some retards? Just look around yourself, perhaps even in the mirror. See for example Bill Gate$, Ada Lovelace, Hitler, Steve Job$, Elon Mu$sk, Churchill, Stalin, any politician, any celebrity, any actor and practically everyone who lives today.
