ableism

Naïvety is intoxicating and no one likes confronting their own ableism or mortality.

According to Stanford University economist Nicholas A. Bloom, this opposition to remote working is partially rooted in a specific form of prejudice: ableism.

"The embedded ableism that's in the way that we've designed everything, because it's people who are able-bodied, who have done the designing," she added.

The debate has sparked allegations of ableism, ruined legacies, inspired a new Louis Theroux documentary, and an international conversation about the power dynamics between disabled people and those who care for them.

For disabled viewers, “A Different Man” is open about topics like ableism and society’s inability to learn about people with disabilities.
