[P] This helped me understand better, neurotypicals fetishise certainty and feeling like they know everything. Introducing uncertainty or unknown knowledge upsets them. Social identity helps keep uncertainty down and unknowns out. Whereas I'm fine with uncertainty and not feeling like I know everything. That's life. I'm not omniscient. Neurotypicals, however, like to believe they are so they believe that unknown equals untrue. Don't Look Up et al.
