There will always be humans who take advantage of a system. Why do you, like the parent commenter, think that is in question here? No one here is espousing the extreme position you…

This boils down to "I think you are wrong because you are not an authority figure."

There will always be humans who take advantage of a system, that is not in question. Believing that "too many" autistic people are using it as an excuse - an entire category of peo…

Again, psychiatry is in its infancy. Many professionals use outdated models or stereotypes in practice. Living as an autistic individual can make it easier to clock other autistic …

A system with one perspective is a system waiting to fail. Autistic individuals have systemic changes in their mind and body which let them see life from a different perspective. P…

I estimate that at least 1/8 of all people I have ever met are on the autism spectrum. Around 1/4 to 1/2 of all people I have ever met have some form of executive function disorder…

Writing a specification for a personal library app in the hopes I can get AppSheet + Gemini to make one for me. I'm working on library science in general, so it will hopefully impl…

I have found that many areas of human knowledge are massively disorganized. Everything is also siloed; knowledge that could easily apply to other domains is hidden by things like s…

When I was a child, my mother told me that it was like I "wanted to be miserable." I didn't want to be miserable - I was autistic, ADHD, and brain damaged, but undiagnosed on all c…

Considering that psychiatry is in its infancy, your statements have a level of finality that isn't warranted at all .

"True CPTSD" doesn't exist as a diagnosis yet in the DSM. Referring to it that way is highly disingenuous. I was recently diagnosed as "AuDHD". I noticed that doctors who don't und…

> I would expect that, for cultures who's members score below average on IQ tests from the US, an equivalent IQ test created within that culture would show average members of that …

Additional note. Since it is my own description and it sounds familiar to you, if you want to discuss it further my email is in my profile.

Many people fall into a trap of thinking "we catch the bad guys now, not like in the old days ." I'm sure people were saying it in the 90s, 80s, 70s...every era of advancement invo…

It is my own description, based on patterns I've seen over my lifetime.

I've talked about how intergenerational trauma has affected my family before, although I didn't mention it started in 1918 when my great great grandfather killed my great great gra…

Or a byproduct of sustained trauma being more prevalent in modern society. There was a large shift in the way children are raised in the past 100 years, from community to individua…

I know that traumatized human brains tend toward negativity. I don't believe it is a natural human condition, though. With trauma, the instincts you mentioned start applying to the…

Framing can be more difficult, but one "trick" with a telephoto lens is to find a neat detail to focus on and adjust the frame around the neat detail.

Metacybernetics is the only obscure word on that list, and it refers to all of the first-order cybernetics, second-order cybernetics, etc. You missed the opportunity to ask a simpl…

That happens in system dynamics a lot, actually - there are many independently developed theories in many different disciplines that do not intertwine historically at all. I have m…

This article does not begin to cover systems thinking. Cybernetics and metacybernetics are noticably missing. Paul Cilliers' theory of complexity - unmentioned. Nothing about Staff…

I remember the same thing. That doesn't mean they knew how to teach us to "learn how to learn". Neither does it mean that the underlying education system supported that goal. Same …

I notice that many palettes tend to follow the "traditional" color wheel strictly, without defining pink as a separate color on the main wheel.
