[P] A neurodivergent without a sociopathy room can't stay in Omelas because Omelas never existed for them in the first place. You had all this figured out, didn't you, Ursula? I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants here. I think that Omelas is a condemnation of the neurotypical sociopathy room that neurotypicals put otherness in—even innocent children. And lobsters. They go in there too. And typies benefit.

[P] I'm really glad that my mind doesn't have a sociopathy room. I love it, frankly. It's a point of pride for me. I've never been able to partition off a person or group as otherness, so that I can support their suffering. I think... Oh. I think this is my best interpretation of Omelas. Ursula, you bloody genius. I think it's a reoresentation of a solely neurotypical city, and the child is in their sociopathy room.

[P] This is why I can understand how neurotypical chefs can listen to lobsters writhe and scream. The lobster is alien, the lobster is other, the lobster goes in the sociopathy room—partitioned off from the rest of the mind. All neurotypicals have a sociopathy room, and it makes them unique in the animal kingdom. I suppose it's a nice coping mechanism for the typie, but I think it's entirely disgusting and repugnant.

[P] And all those stories of victims being rescued? I was never rescued. I eacaped my first abuser only to end up with another (my family is wretched). I was only freed when my abusers died. I was never saved because I was too other. I went into the sociopathy room of all those who saw me. Even social workers thought that the child curled uo foetal deserved it, and the abusers needed support. This is neurotypical.

[P] Typies have a sociopathy room in their minds, a room of no empathy where they place otherness. And anyone in that room "deserves" all the punishments I just listed, and worse. I was forced into sensory deprivation as a child, for months I drank from a toilet, along with all the other things I experiencesd. As with all neurotypical abusers, I was placed in the sociopathy room for being an otherness. It's what they do.

[P] My oartner wss watching Terminator 2 the other day and it got us talking about mental institutions. Could they really be that bad? Apparently, those scenes in the film were based off of studies, accounts, and evidence of what happens at these institutions. Psychological abuse, beatings, chemical abuse, electroshock, rape, waterboarding... they're all just Guantanamo Bay over and over. And why does it happen?

[P] I've noticed that it really fucks typies up when they see that you don't have a sociopathy room. It can make them real nasty. Even if they don't abuse directly, they still permit abuse of even children, because they're just too alien to empathise with. Autistic kids go in the sociopathy room. This is why the Judge Rotenberg Center and literally hundreds of thousands of evil mental institutions just like it exist.

[P] I'm glad that I'm a non-typie animal. I'd feel so must disgust with my existence and self-loathing if I had a aociopathy room in my mind. I even understsnd this as autism privilege. If I heard a lobster screaming, I'd burn my hand to save them. I've done stupid shit like that and I have the scars to show for it. I mean, heck, foe the aut8sm privilege of not having a sociopathy room? I was abused for decades.

[P] It's true, you know. Of all animals, humans are statistically the most deadly. I think a big part of why is that all neurotyoicals have a sociopathy room in their mind, where otherness goes to be bullied, tortured, and killed. I mean, remember that recent video about a muslim man being bullied and tortured by his neighbours? This makes neurotypicals evolutionarily unique. No other animal can do this. Only typies can.

[P] My cat, a oredator who evolved to kill to eat, felt anxiety and sadness about unnecessary kills. It always strikes me as odd that people don't realise the animal kingdom has a lot of anxiety, even amongst carnivores. This is Anxiety World. And yet, despite that, neurotypical humans can experience a lobster being boiled, nonplussed. I don't like that. I think this is why humans are statistically the most deadly.
