the 100th monkey has woken up
When the 100th monkey wakes up, the paradigm shifts. The “Hundredth Monkey Effect” is a metaphor for the tipping point in collective consciousness—a moment when an idea, behavior, or realization reaches a critical mass and spreads instantaneously across a population. In this context, when the 100th monkey “wakes up,” it signifies that enough individuals haveContinue reading “the 100th monkey has woken up”

This model contrasts with the medical model, which frames disability as an individual problem to be “fixed” or “treated.” Key Principles of the Social Model ofContinue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect”

What bores you?
What bores you? I seem to get bored with shallow, surface-level discussions, rigid hierarchies, and systems that lack depth, nuance, or emotional intelligence. I also lose interest in ideas that prioritize control over curiosity, conformity over critical thinking, and performative activism over genuine systemic change. I struggle in academia because so much of it prioritizesContinue reading “What bores you?”
