loving this Voyagers: Exploring Pacific Waters series, description says this summer.
.
God forbid, if you read my book/blog (downloadable for free, accessed from my profile), and the first appendix, you’d see I was looking for this Indigenous history.
.
It’s exactly what I almost didn’t dare hope for, hearing the Islanders’ history seems to tell exactly the story of the spanking gene, Allism’s trip across the Pacific, they talk about the old days when no-one imagined owning the land and when it changed, and when canoes became war canoes and that seems not very different from when the the Aztecs were watering their gardens with blood.
.
I want to call this a thing my theory predicted. Smug mode. 😀

my interoception may be suspect, but judging by the way my face is all screwed up like Mo
from the Stooges, I’m guessing something hurts 😠

listened to a cancer research ad and I heard something nasty in it, like, "ending cancer forever," sounds like "ending Autism," what, there's no money for treatment, we don't want to support people with cancer, we want to end it forever so we don't have to
.
but I got a bad attitude, I guess

I’ve got the story of the British/Canadian “Home children,” on again, and again I’m blown away by the lengths they will go to to ensure trauma and ignorance and disconnection in the next generation and Britain literally built Canada and the rest of the colonies on it.
.
These enormous crimes upon the world’s Indigenous were perpuated by committing crimes against the colonizing powers’ own children, tearing them out if their lives and families, destroying their psyches and then giving them a homestead, it’s make your place, colonize or starve.
.
It’s a difficult argument to make, group dynamics is built into the majority and growing still, but group dynamics is an Allistic . . . error, there really is no in-group, and almost no-one is getting the “good,” treatment. Again, the reason they see an out-group is because they are abused.
.
Group dynamics is the Allistic usual thought, like capitalism, we are to believe hurting people gives us the good life, we are to believe our life comes from destroying others’ lives but again, it’s not true and despite we are mostly all engaged in capitalism and group dynamics, we are still mostly poor and still mostly living as poorly as our enemies.
.
And again, so the payoffs are not material things, but emotional, feeding a need to hurt, whether it pays off in the good life or not, and again, always, if you wanted to create this need, you would probably hit children.

something I’m afraid to say and sure no-one will get is of COURSE violent media is bad for you.
.
When it was videogames we were fighting the church ladies but we were fighting for the right to be drowned in cortisol and that was insane. Murder is supposed to be illegal, portraying it ought to be too. It’s negative social engineering to show or watch it.
.
Sorry again: OBVIOUSLY.
.
Or don’t you believe in psychology, in endocrinology, basically in causality? We just going to live marinating in cortisol all our lives and just “not let it,” affect us?
.
Spend our peacetime watching war movies to make sure it still FEELS like war, so we’re still prepared, can’t take the boot off of our amygdala for a minute 🫣

advertising is a clinic in Allistic fallacies and biases, I’ve always been fascinated by it.
.
I love the Both ways ads, the golf ball that both flies straighter AND spins more, the reusable tape that both “holds anything,” AND pops off with a little twist!
.
But the bait and switch, the ask one question and answer another - problem: I hate cleaning. Solution: this broom gets it REALLY clean. Great leader talks like that and people are used to it because advertising. I mean, they seem to choose to employ the fallacy, uh, on purpose, seemingly trying to grow it rather than fight it.

It seems obvious that my fascination with wildlife rescue on teevee is because of the parallels. My descent into the matrix world of comfort teevee has brought me to, “My Best Friend is an Animal,” sooner than I’d hoped and it’s often animals that have been rehabbed and released coming back and hanging around voluntarily and maintaining the relationship.
.
So a case in point, a tree kangaroo whose mother was hit by a car and it got thrown right out of the pouch very young.
.
So now, barely born, traumatized, thrown out of mom and its whole world and suddenly in another world entirely - maybe the trauma’s parallel is the human birth, marsupials don’t have that, the birth and early life is a long, slow, safe transition for them.
.
Then, raised by humans, this is what I’m suggesting, the #ND share that experience, raised by NT humans.
.
The reintroduction is perhaps not as obvious.
.
A lot of divergent kids need extra care and attention. It’s not that we lost mom and the world like this animal did, but more that we have a lot of trouble gaining the world in the first place.
.
But as the Asperger clinic and at least some of the doctors there saw, the extra time and care can help us to gain more of it than we may without more time and less discipline.
.
I suppose unless we are institutionalized, we do experience the gradual introduction to the “wild,” of the NT world.
.
But when we are released, the rescuers often move away or downsize their home, the extra care ends. I suppose it’s my RSD, but I often watch a release and feel the animal has simply become homeless. 🥹💜🫣

I never chased classical music, I mean I don’t hate the Lone Ranger or the Pachelbel, but by and large it just never turned me on - I think that wasn’t it. I’ve got this French museum channel on teevee and a lot of the time it’s just, “Within the Frame,” a show just showing art and playing music, classical, I assume French music - and I don’t just not care, I hate it.
.
Singing songs have context - this is just emotion and drama . . . unexplained. I don’t need your unspeaking drama, it winds me up.

gawd my world has been so small, I missed so much, so much art and music, so many people (I’ve just watched the BeeGees movie)

Starting to wish I had the spoons or the focus to write a long one, spelling out for the majority how their deflective need to punish is forever undermining their dreams, that they are constantly shooting themselves in the foot.
.
It’s a #Hockey story today, how the #MapleLeafs coach let last evening’s game slip away because he was punishing a quarter of the offensive talent for an early scrup. Of course I have no idea what earlier pain the coach was paying off, no-one ever does, but maybe he was biased that way, felt like he was, “doing something,” got a drop of dopamine for it - but lost the game.
.
I mean, these are #Hockey people saying this, not some
elbow patch liberals. Even the hammerheads of hockey could see that one. 😘💜
.
I feel like it wouldn’t be impossible to write a whole book of examples like that, right up to and including world wars. Trivers put it down to self deception late in life, but I suppose that’s a trait that varies across neurotypes.

A love letter to Bill Shatner
.
Dammit, Bill, I’m a phone guy, I’m not a doctor. Nobody told me there’s different sorts of people. They never even made me understand they didn’t like me. I didn’t know there are people that people don’t like for no good reason at all.
.
I’m sorry I thought I was one of
them and thought I wasn’t supposed to like certain people too.
.
It must have gotten so tired, people laughing about Trek, think they’re being clever and original when the whole point was all that ‘60s stuff was comedy, you all laughing at society, at them. Trek, remember the Avengers? James Bond - a Canuck made a billion dollars parodying Bond, already a parody.
.
Speaking of Canucks, have you stared down Jim Carrey for his Kirk impression? I’m sorry I laughed at that shit, I was one of the oblivious idiots described above too. BTW, that Suck it Picard thing was funny. Is it better if I laughed at that too (despite who provided the ride)?
.
I make jokes about the CPAP ads and bacteria from outer space, but I ain’t mad or punching you with them. For the record, I saw a bit of, was it a Movie of the Week thing, a horror movie about spiders? I thought you weren’t unrecognizable, but you seemed understated and entirely natural. It was early in the film, no spiders yet.
.
Anyway, I’m sorry I added to the noise. You seem perfectly fine. Be well. 💜
