Expo70 posted:for those just joining us, i'm not quite "an incomprehensible person who has gone into the woods". I *think* it happened years ago, but for some reason i didn't really lose my tether on the world. its more sort of like, instead of going from position A to position B, I can carefully walk from one back to the other, sorta like how a dual channel radio can do uhf and vhf. Expo70 posted:I have this gut feel that 100 years from now, it'll turn out because of the way we treat neurodivergent people made them a lot worse and that a surprisingly high number of them could be way more lucid than anybody thought if they were living in a society where they didn't have to put the lotion on its skin again for an abusive overclass that needs proles and serfs to pay tides. I have no idea how many that could even be, but I think those of us who live long enough will be kinda blown away by it. There's obviously cases where people need meds, and special help, etc, etc, but maybe hundreds of years from now there'll be an insanely different metaphor for dealing with this stuff. and i think about ethan saylor who had down syndrome, and how we were both in the same waystation after school group therapy program on west patrick street and how he spat on my backpack and how he helped me harvest seeds from a bunch of plantago major and how he was strangled to death by police at age twenty-six because he tried to sneak back into the movie theater to watch zero dark thirty a second time without paying for a ticket all while his aide begged them to stop killing him and its just... let the loving retard watch the movie again, it doesnt matter that he's nasty sometimes
