THE Cerebral Podcast

In the final episode. I used a wordplay about falling. Then, I used a quote by Aristotle about the energy of the mind.  In this week’s ROPE,  I talked about different iterations of Batman. I talked about learning about the ignominious or disgraceful definitions. I talked about the 1989 Batman movie with the Alexander Knox character. I then talked about some of the disability shame around needing to be fixed and healed. I later talked about the importance of falling from the Batman Begins movie. I also use the “defining” clip from the movie. I ended the episode with one last literary twist, B@tman or Being the @ Man .

I used a wordplay about agency. Then, I used a quote by Aristotle about the value of life.  In this week’s ROPE,  I talked about my own social insecurity. Many times, I chose not to participate because it was the safer choice. I worried about not only my needs, but also the needs of others around me. I sometimes felt a responsibility for everyone’s else’s safety. I ended the episode talking about the Social Security Administration and disability fraud because my disability and my resume didn’t make sense to some people.   Episode resources Aristotle - The ultimate value of life depends upon... https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/aristotle_132267 Social Security - disAbility Law Center of Virginia https://www.dlcv.org/socialsecurity  THE Cerebral Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/110869288937879 Rob Targos (@RobTargos) / Twitter https://twitter.com/RobTargos LinkedIn / Rob Targos https://www.linkedin.com/in/robtargos/

I used a wordplay about quality control and quality comfort. Then, I used a quote by Aristotle about quality.  In this week’s ROPE,  I talked about how my dad spent 30 years in quality control. He dealt with the FDA and consent decrees. Consent Decrees were negotiated agreements with the FDA to make improvements and maintain quality. My dad had the idea that I needed to be fixed, like in the medical model of disability. My crutches were my management tools. They were part of my identity. My dad grew up with eyeglasses as part of his identity. My dad struggled with crutches when he had a short-term foot injury.

I used a wordplay about dignity and tough stuff. Then, I used a quote by Aristotle about dignity and grace.  In this week’s ROPE,  I talked about how the movie Johnny Dangerously. The movie was an ironic comedy about a good gangster. I also talked about how Danny Vermin used “once” as a threat. Then, I talked about how I was often afraid to make a mistake more than “once” in a mainstream school.  The movie also used disability stereotypes more than “once”. I ended the episode with the acronymic reminder of DRILLS with dignity and respect to share the nitty gritty.   Episode resources Aristotle - The ideal man bears the accidents of life with... https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/aristotle_130621 Johnny Dangerously - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Dangerously Johnny Dangerously Quotes https://www.moviequotes.com/s-movie/johnny-dangerously/ Johnny Dangerously (1984) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WEPlSPwWu8  THE Cerebral Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/110869288937879 Rob Targos (@RobTargos) / Twitter https://twitter.com/RobTargos

I used a wordplay about nonsense. Then, I used a quote by Albert Einstein about being understanding. Next, I talked about attribution theory.  In this week’s ROPE,  I talked about attribution errors and my disability. I often got social resistance from people without disabilities. I could not fight back, I could not leave the situation. Therefore, I often froze because I could not overcome the situation. My dad, sometimes, yelled at me to relax. The muscle anxiety later became numbness and dumbness.  Episode resources Albert Einstein - Peace cannot be kept by force; it can... https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/albert_einstein_136891 Attribution Theory - Situational vs Dispositional | Simply Psychology https://www.simplypsychology.org/attribution-theory.html Physical Symptoms of Panic and Anxiety Disorders https://www.verywellmind.com/physical-symptoms-of-panic-and-anxiety-2584248  THE Cerebral Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/110869288937879 Rob Targos (@RobTargos) / Twitter https://twitter.com/RobTargos LinkedIn / Rob Targos https://www.linkedin.com/in/robtargos/
