The future is disabled
Summary
A rider in Prada shoes delivers a bold proclamation: "the future is disabled." Their logic? As technology like AI, self-driving cars, and Neuralink advance, able-bodied people are increasingly living like disabled people already do, while disabled people gain superhuman capabilities through adaptive tech. Kareem rates himself a nine out of ten on the disability scale. The conversation turns playful as the rider pitches disabled life as aspirational, comparing it to being a "modern day princess" with people feeding you, dressing you, and driving you around. They insist able-bodied people need mentorship from disabled folks to prepare for this future. Kareem's interested. He wants in on the cool wheelchair and the swag that apparently comes standard.
