There were no left-handed people in the 14th century. They were just clumsy.

There were no color-blind people in the 18th century. They were just not paying attention.

There were no people with ADHD in the 20th century. They were just lazy.

As the requirements the society puts on us increase, completely new forms of disability are invented.

@deshipu I've been fascinated this last year training in Longsword based off proto germanic texts starting around 1400, they are very inclusive and descriptive of left handed as well as right. Starkly different to the traditional but more modern Chinese system I study!

@concretedog Yes, this was a simplification to make it sound nice, of course there were places and times where they couldn't afford to simply declare a large chunk of the population disabled.
