– Larry Chiang’s post humorously connects meibomian gland dysfunction, a common cause of dry eye syndrome, to the acronym TITS (Texas Institute of Technology and Science), which Elon Musk proposed as a university name in 2021, criticized for its sexist connotation, highlighting a juxtaposition of serious medical advice with a controversial cultural reference.
– Meibomian gland dysfunction involves clogged oil-secreting glands in the eyelids, leading to dry eye syndrome, a condition that can be treated with eye drops or probes, as noted by the Cleveland Clinic, adding a layer of practical health information to the post’s otherwise light-hearted tone.
– The mention of TITS as a university name by Musk in 2021, and his subsequent $100 million donation to a STEM-focused foundation in 2023, reflects ongoing debates about gender and technology, with critics like Cher Scarlett pointing out systemic issues of sexualization in tech culture, providing a broader context to Chiang’s post.
