Please remember that, to #autists or other #ND folk,
a "meltdown" is not a #tantrum, or 'throwing a bit of a wobbler', it's something very real, that isn't at all what you think it is. Thanks 👍😀

onto the latest episode now, about the handaxes made of fossils, have you seen that pic of one? So, cool. 💜

Mostly not my interest here, but they have an ancient spherical carved geode, I assume that means unopened - and wow, what a great idea, if you know what a geode is and have one like that, a dull, round stone - but full of jewels no living entity has ever laid eyes on, what a metaphor.
.
I’m a geode, goddammit. 😠💜💜

I’m trying to stop relitigating my life, trying to stop thinking about my kids and wife, trying to not be angry at them and the only way my brain wants to do it is by writing off the whole majority, like how can you be mad at them? Are you mad at bears and sharks, are you mad at the cat for not being able to understand you too?
.
Being mad at other neurotypes means you don’t understand neurotypes, like you think they have a choice, like they are so often with the #ND .
.
I mean, that’s half of the circle I can never escape, they can’t understand, but then there are all
the things that can’t be anything but lies even from their POV and by their standards - so it’s both they can’t help it, lying is fair play for their neurotype.
.
I’ve seen the proof all my life but I am still and forever stuck trying to wrap my head around it, I want to accept and understand that there is no talking to them, people generally and my ex family in particular, I’m just contributing to global warming spinning my stupid wheels trying to talk to them.

I mean, I got nothing to say except to fight with everyone, even, especially my own people
.
here’s something harmless except it makes me a white man- kind of missing golf when I see it on teevee, but I guess that’s just the limerence - which was really, really bad for golf 😀😠😈💜

Us, neurodivergent people, working through our own stuff and coming more into our power is going to make waves, and that’s something that needs to happen. 1/2

“The Better Angels of our Nature” - this, Children, is the title of a fairly recent popular Allistic science book.

Not going to spell it out, They who have ears to hear and all that. 😀

OK, settle down, brain.
.
- no no no, hear me out!
.
Oh, FFS. Fine, I know you're not going to do another damned thing until you do. Spit it out.
.
- all these superpowers are buried in the genome, well, OK, perhaps some are extinct, but many are still there, and so the path to the goddam superhuman is to tease them out of the diversity, to conserve what diversity we have and it's the exact fucking opposite of what this species keeps trying to do, the idiots talk about the superman while erasing any possible chance of ever seeing one.
.
But that stupid dream would actually be possible if they weren't completely upside down and backwards.

My comment to them, my interpretation of the first question, an ongoing conversation I'm having with y'all:
.
"Interesting . . . you know hyperolfactor . . . super smell is one of those things we acknowledge as "comorbid," along with Autism, maybe other neurotypes, I was going to ask if her and her family look Autistic, and maybe her moral quandary suggests it too - but her busy, productive life sure doesn't, LOL. They are separate matters, and the point maybe isn't, "common among Autistics," as again - did you see last week's question submission? - maybe the point is, "no longer common among Neurotypicals." Again, these superpowers are evolved, that's where the magic comes from, super smell isn't an occasional accident for the dogs or the rats (or bears), is it? So why, and how could it be for humans? Super powers are evolved features modern humans have let go.
Sorry, back to it. 😊"
.
EDIT TO ADD, finished listening, final comments:
.
"My two cents' worth about self-flagellation, it's what I think about spanking, it reinforces the group mentality, it makes you aggrieved so that you need an out-group, it's a social, genetic engineering thing, reinforces aggression. I mean, every church is a group."
.
and
"Ah, looks like I answered your last few lines before you said them, yes, it magically sets a higher bar for guilt, sets it at the out-group. Aggrieving ourselves is a technology, I swear." 💜

Sapolsky Thursday.
I'm not there yet, but one question is about ritual pain in religion, so that may be a trigger for some. 💜
