I can write voluminous pages of intricate, impassioned ideas (albeit probably illegible) in a few minutes but I cannot manage to do the simplest of errands without major procrastination and struggle.

I think it is interesting that the models of the fifth-dimension show a person walking through spacetime. This shows you how biased we are towards platforming people and what they do. When in actuality there is more to reality. There are many other systems, species. Reality is more than what we do, more than what we do and can be measured, what about the smells, sounds, and thoughts.?

Who is being harmed when a child acts weird yet harms no one? Perhaps, the parents' sense of control? Their feelings of safety that come from social conformity? Because the communities are only accepting of those who share and display commonalities in their outwardly-expressed values? And the child is regarded as an extension of the parents' teachings? The whole point of child-rearing is to deny the child of their innate agency and replace it with the will of the commune, and its beliefs, and to make this transition and imbue this indoctrination so quickly and seemingly intractably, that the child will assume it's their real identity and beliefs? And when they feel or experience dissonance we can call them crazy and medicate them to get them back on track with the programming before we will ever question the culture or the idea of stripping autonomy through, "Socialization.".?

As an autistic person, it's hard to live in a world where being fake is considered a normal behavior while being genuine---- a flaw.

Just because you can't verbalize your thoughts doesn't mean you are not intelligent. Just because a machine produces words doesn't mean it is intelligent. People are not thinking of inside, only outside when evaluating things.!

Psychology can be culturally-biased. My parents had me hospitalized for violating cultural norms. Amongst these was my prospensity for sleeping on the floor, something I still do. I remember the admitting psychiatrist being horrified by this. "You sleep on the floor!" and then providing a tentative admitting diagnosis of Schizoaffective Personality Disorder. Millions of people around the World sleep on the floor, either by cultural preference or by privation, but my having made that choice of my own volition was pathologized because it differed extensively from the prevailing cultural norms around me. But you know if some big influencer or famous person decided to popularize this and monetize floor mats then it would be the new rage because a rich person thought of it.!

Spontaneous creativity and risking potentially flawed, yet authentic self-expression is an act of defiance in the age of AI. Capitalism and the idea of technically perfected mass-production has destroyed and obliterated the idea of handmade anything-including our own thoughts. Think and Be Real.!

Most-even well-meaning, but usually scolding-advice is Top Down. It explicitly identifies the overarching, end goal, without specifying any of the steps to get there. Get a Job! (how?) Get Married! (to whom?) Stop being so Weird! (In what ways am I doing this?) and then when you ask them the steps, they don't even know.!
