Thesis: more thesis-antithesis-synthesis memes please because they teach actually good thinking habits
Antithesis: if you make it too intellectual people won't think it's funny
Synthesis: a dialectic is when there's two of something

credit to @DecayWTF for reminding us we'd been meaning to do something like this. we didn't do this as a quote-boost because we don't like to magnify ableist terminology, even used in jest, even the very common words nobody but us has a problem with, because we're just like that. we do think the post was funny though.
also the punchline is a thing that emerged from discussion about this topic in a chat room we're part of, some time ago. so credit to those people :) we'd been trying to figure out how to use it in a way that, like, has memetic potential... feels like it finally clicked. at least, it's doing severals.
