@KatyElphinstone@mas.to What's odd about this thought in the context of previous conversations with you (about autism, etc.) is I think of allistics as tending to lack a consistent model of reality. What they say is true varies depending on emotional and social context. We're considered silly and naive when we maintain the same worldview hour to hour.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Well to be fair, Jesus is quoted as saying both. Mark 4:21-25.

@KatyElphinstone@mas.to There's a tendency for many of us autistics to give up on evil, because we're no good at being bad. Rather than get ahead in business or politics, we embarrass ourselves if we try. However if we do choose evil alignment, we're shameless and blatant about it. Objectivism, Satanism, overt racism and of course fascism.

@rebeccawatson Richard Dawkins is why I still believe in God.

@xyhhx Check out the Wildflower Alliance. They do suicidality response training and such.

@danielpunkass@mastodon.social I recall how experts proclaimed VR as an inevitable transformative explosion (Metaverse!), based on sci-fi tales where humans raced to never have to imagine again. I think we can all agree that turned out to be a dud.

@pinakographos I'd be psychedto invite my fellow fantasy writers.

@thatfrisiangirlish It's not that I don't cognitively understand hierarchy, I make all sorts of faux pas because I focus on transmitting or obtaining information without going through rituals of domination or submission first. Or if I account for that, my attempt at those rituals is disrespectfully farcical. This is true regardless of which way the hierarchy flows. I was in charge of a committee, thinking I'm doing it right; some frustrated person said, "We need leadership!"

@nixCraft@mastodon.social Why text anyone that the plane landed safely? If you're worried that you're loved one's flight crashed, check the headlines.
