Explanation

There was this article: http://www.butyoudontlooksick.com/wpress/articles/written-by-christine/the-spoon-theory/

And now everyone is all "I don't have the spoons to do this today" and such. See also: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/the%20spoon%20theory

Oh, that. I vaguely remember reading that years ago, and not thinking very highly of it. Can't believe people are still harkening on.

So people are comparing being lazy to having a degenerative illness? I don't even know what to say to that. I guess I haven't seen this because everyone who knows me knows I have a degenerative illness and they're aware how amazingly offensive this is.

The spoon theory is a cutesy, convenient way of describing the problem of allocation/opportunity cost, which everyone deals with in their way because everyone has limited energy. The limits may be in different places but anyone can reach theirs.

Re: Explanation

Actually the spoon theory, as linked above, is a cutesy, convenient way of describing living with degenerative illness. I don't blame AYRT for finding it offensive when people use it to describe not wanting to get off tumblr and attend to their RL responsibilities.

Re: Explanation

No one would extend it to describe the problem of limited energy if it didn't do that very tidily; on the other hand, a few people who live with chronic illness have chosen to see energy limitation as a problem unique to themselves.
