F***ing fantastic! I wonder if there is some correlation with the similarly highly prevalent and under-recognised condition of 'testerical' males. This testeria seems exacerbated in discussions of privilege and feminism🤣

Oh yes! It's very likely that testicularic toxicity is a real thing and can certainly lead to testeria! Testeria is an old concept that dates back to the oldest medical text in human history, the Ebers Papyrus. It read: “the testicles were a pair of semi-external animals subject to the desire to assert unfounded declarations” And when this desire is unfulfilled, these animals “wonder internally throughout the body…and provokes illnesses of all kinds.”

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

So accurate! And now we've all been tucked into a cosmic testicularity vortex

Despite the disclaimer in the text that no variants have been found, I've observed a few variants in PHD. There’s the academic variant, the generational wealth variant, and the genetic inheritance of good looks variant. Clearly, more work needs to be done.

I was wondering if you have traced any sub-variants. Some areas, Boston, for example, seem to have a high rate of exposure. Also, would you associate this recent pandemic with the ancient Greek condition labeled "hubris"?

I see a lot of Importancy Pill abuse. They’re very addictive. 12-step programs can help. Humility on a daily basis can block the effects.

I have never liked the word privilige to discuss my issues either. I won't debate this electronically because clearly a lot of naming is part of this satire, and at my age, I'm not so quick. Words have power as you have clearly deliniated. Those of us trying to be better humans can dislike labels just like everyone. Blessings Zed.

"At my age I'm not so quick" -- I wish I could be half as quick as you when I am your age, Cheri!

Yes it's also called fragility by your comrades who build Marxist Kafka traps.

Perhaps you could explore extreme preferences for a particular color. Red in particular seems to be closely aligned with those who suffer from PHD

A lack of diversity (code word for "Anti-whiteism") is certainly a blessing. When and where has "diversity" (in the sense you wrote it) been good?

I don’t know that it’s necessarily a low-spice diet, but more of a single spice diet like only black pepper 🙀
