Flirting with someone who is symbol oriented is extremely hard if you are not also sensitive to the symbol. This is because for someone who is symbol oriented, every interaction is symbolic and has no value to you if you don't care about conformity. They don't care at all about what you say. They are not really listening at all. They only care about what it means symbolically. This is why small talk exists. The only information that small talk contains is "I'm here, you have my attention, therefore you deserve to exist.". If they say something wrong, and you point out their logical error, they interpret this as a symbol meaning "I don't like you". For them, an interaction where you talk about interesting or important information that you want to talk about, confuses the hell out of them. For them, social interaction has nothing to do with exchanging information. If you are dating a symbol oriented person, they will expect you to permanently affirm your relationship with some (for you) meaningless gesture. They love receiving presents that have absolutely no objective value. For me, this pointless affirming behavior is soul drenching. Also not being able to share my theories and thoughts about reality is suffocating. But what is important to understand is that for them, not receiving gestures of affirmation is also soul drenching. This is why in this kind of relationship, there can not be no conflict and frustration ever.

If you are impulsive you have the gift of creativity. People who are not impulsive have zero creative abilities and can only recycle what already exists. The downside is that you can not take orders. Being productive for someone who is not impulsive always takes the same amount of energy, no matter the activity. If you are impulsive, doing the thing you want to do is completely effortless, even if that thing is extremely hard. Being productive without needing willpower is incomprehensible for someone who is not impulsive. The downside is that it is a lot more difficult to do things you don't want to do. Also, it is hard to plan in the future bc it is hard to control what you want

Yes this is totally fair. At the end, I would like neurodiversity awareness to spread. At first, I thought that I needed to convince you of its significance but since then I realize, that I can just take responsibility and do it myself. So don't change if you want. It's okay. I'm realizing that I'm not concrete enough with my argumentation. I hope I'm not crossing any boundaries here but the significance of neurodivergency lies in everyday life. I remember a story you told about upstairs neighbors that were making noise that made you go insane. If you are very unsensitive to symbolic information, this means that you are not good at filtering out sensations, it makes it hard to ignore noise. Your strong reaction is not a sign that you are too soft or some bullshit, it is because you filter less information. Filtering less information is not just a downside. It means "seeing reality as it is". It is a big predictor of truth-seeking and engaging in things like mediation. The way people filter information is through conformity. So having less of an ability to critique culture is a downside of the ability to filter information. One other effect of seeing reality as it is, is low energy. If you always take in all the information, and you go out in the club or something, it is hard to relax, and it drains the energy a lot.

I know that you mostly do what you want and that you rarely follow any advice from other people because I'm the same way. All that I can do is put it on your radar and hope that what I say not make you even less likely to look into it. Try to be open-minded with the subject. Maybe one day you will see its ox tail and make the decision to follow it. 🦦

Yes but it would not be this universe. Without time there is no change and without space the universe is just a point and there is nothing to sense. Maybe I misunderstood your argument. I'm not denying that there is a sensation of space and a sensation of time but saying time and space don't exist in this reality seems absurd to me.

My claim is that there is no such thing as a neurotypical nerd

You need to understand that I'm not trying to gotcha you or one-up you. I'm pointing at something big that can radically change your view of the world and yourself to the better.

Being content with being alone in a room and engaging with one thing repeatedly is not as normal as you think.

Being into yo-yoing is, ironically, also neurodivergent.

This is false

Avoidance of falsehood leads to falsehood No but this is only the case bc I'm autistic. Non-autistic people don't care about truth, they care about narrative

Yes I'm obsessed. This is because it is one of the most powerful and liberating concepts. It has never once led me to delusion. I'm not saying this lightly

There exists a massive trap in spirituality for neurodivergent individuals. Being neurodivergent means wanting to engage with the world in ways that society deems "lazy", "unproductive", "weird". The danger now is to internalize this critique, which leads to self-hatred. The big trap now is to long for some lofty ideal with the promise of removing oneself from this cruel earth and allow oneself to finally reach absolute self-acceptance. This is a false dream. Reaching Truth will never give one an ounce of self-acceptance back. It has to be reached through deconstructing society through the lens of neurodivergency.

When you devalue the ladder, you are being unknowingly discriminatory against autistic people. (I'm not making a haha gotcha political correctness argument, it is much deeper) Being autistic means theory crafting is existence.

Doesn't this make one unfree if one does not allow themselves to climb ladders forever?

I agree But you can be critical of why you seek Truth in the first place

I like the writing style of Nietzsche. He is humorous and ambiguous and he grasps the bigger picture. Also his texts are packes with radical ideas and insights.

@LambdaDelta Ahhhh this makes so much sense! Improving writing does not necessarily mean to write less ambiguoisly though. I do want to be precise, but I also want to communicate a lot of information at once sometimes and be holistic. For that it is sometimes necessary to leave some of the details unspoken.

"Identify the 12 year old" this is Epstein academy!

@Yimpa Hahah @Basman Wait it seems we are talking about two dualities now: Being restrained vs being unrestrained Being powerful vs being weak I think both need balance and both balances can be archieved by impersonating an animal like for example a grey cat with a blue bucket on it's head (totally random and unrelated example)

@LambdaDelta I think there is a misunderstanding. I agree with most of what you are saying. Splitting hairs over things like this is not much fun to me. I think this 20% statistic is really interesting, and it supports my current theory of reality. I'm thankful that you posted it.

Do you think that a sample from the whole population is comparable with a sample from this community? I'm not saying we're all geniuses. But what I am saying is that not anybody can end up here.

This is alchemy. If you want to gain power, you don't achieve it by trying to force it. If you try to force it your power will be fragile. You will only be able to become powerful if you alchemize it from a spot of weakness.

Leo has not integrated neurodivergency enough. Leo has not integrated the left-hand path enough. Leo has not integrated Marxist-Leninist critique enough. There is obviously a lot that Leo understands that I don't understand. But there are also things that Leo doesn't understand

Yes this is exactly the point. If you cling too much to the idea of power, virtue, excellence and truth, it will make you weak and more dogmatic, not more powerful. Hobbies like furry are a perfect counterbalance to archive harmony and freedom.
