The wheelchair folks are still disabled, they need the help of physically capable beings or things to exist in and maintain society

…what? You think it’s literally impossible for wheelchair users to function to the point that a society created by and for wheelchair users would collapse without non-wheelchair users to look after them?

As for the rest of it, while I certainly believe that self-diagnosis is valid (and, indeed, there is a phrase “all diagnosis is self-diagnosis”), it’s also the case that even people with diagnoses often suffer from imposter syndrome. So what I will say is that if you keep encountering people who find your views on disability and terminology to be wrong-headed, as it seems you do, then it may be to your benefit to approach such conversations with a little more openness and a little more listening to what the rest of us have to say

100% yes.

Buildings will need to be built, repaired, maintained.

Tons and tons of agriculture is still massively reliant on human beings doing things we still can't figure out how to make robots do.

A wheelchair bound society would 100% need people to build the ramps and pathways for them.

As to the rest:

Oh, I don't regularly run into who find my views on the terminology of the term disability to be wrong-headed.

You're basically the only one.

I am doing my best to listen and tell you what I think of what you are saying, but apparently that is offensive to you.

Okey dokey!

Seems like you want to talk about this anymore, so, I will take my leave of this convo henceforth.
