The predominant worldview in America is a linear worldview, strongly tied to Abrahamic religions, which I refer to as a colonial-capitalist worldview throughout this book. Within the linear worldview, there is a hierarchy of people. Those at the top have great power, and those at the bottom are convinced they must do more, be better, and work harder in order to climb their way up. The cause is hard work, the effect is power. It doesn’t take into account any other inputs. If you are disabled, then your work is devalued, and you are denied power.
