No, not damaged or diseased, but that there is apparently an observable difference in their neurological function.
Well IMHO they have different brain wiring, yes. Whether that's been forced to be the case through damage to the 'normal' wiring or not I don't know. Maybe it's the next evolutionary state
EDIT: note the concept of brain wiring is a deliberately abstract one - I don't neccessarily mean physical connections

Everyones brain is wired up differently, just cos ur brain doesnt work the same as the guy next to you doesnt mean much tbh, some people are lefties, some can roll there tongue, its all genetics, if we have to label it then thats fine, however the number of labels we have these days is down to political correctness in a big way.
One of the great abilities of the human race is its ability to adapt, if you label someone and then treat them differently then they dont have to adapt, this, IMHO creates lazyness in one form or another...
Or alternatively it creates diversity where we don't force everyone to be right handed just because someone says it's the proper way to beOriginally Posted by [GSV]Trig
On the other hand, if you have an observable condition (with a physical aetiology) which impairs your ability to function in the same way as other people, isn't NOT acknowledging that and attempting to remedy it simply burying your head in the sand? Extending that logic, presumably we should remove guide dogs and white sticks from blind people, since they just serve to label them? Adaptation can include recognizing a problem and implementing measures to deal with it, Trig.
Yeah Nichomach is talking a lot of sense, but I'm with Trig.
do are we saying that dyslexic people are basically x-men with crap powers?

Being blind is a real disability, not being able to read isn't.
Then again we could get into the survival of the fittest thing and then blind people wouldnt live very long anyways, nor would these people that have "gland" issues that makes them too fat to do anything, but thats a different issue eh
Not being able to read due to a neurological dysfunction IS a disability; it's also worth noting that it can be associated with other cognitive, motor and perceptual problems. As to its not being a disability, exactly how well would you be able to function in our society if you were incapable of reading? We wouldn't be having this discussion for a start, would we? Could you do your own job? Could you manage your finances? Fill out a mortgage application?
Hehe most people probably think the ability to fold protein structures in your head is a crap power, but it's quite useful for my job
If I don't understand something then it's therefore inherently WRONG.
And that's a FACT.
So...all we need is to run some electrodes inside your skull, plug in a brainwave to ethernet media converter (£12.99 on special from Maplins), whang you onto the UD network, aaaaaand...Team Hexus FTW!!!Hehe most people probably think the ability to fold protein structures in your head is a crap power, but it's quite useful for my job
Yep, I'm wtih Grit two.Yeah Nichomach is talking a lot of sense, but I'm with Trig.
