Re: The Black Pill
The fulgurator was a priest who interpreted the areas struck by lightning for omens. A bit like reading tea leaves. Bird flights were studied. Sometimes the psychics accurately predicted future events such as the Trojan War as a ten year conflict. As for Apuleius, I have his huge witchcraft case to ...

Re: The Black Pill
As to things getting "bumpy" it's a good thing I wasn't based in Australia at the time of the hysteria. Had they knocked on my door to arrest me for having left the house, the response from my part would have done John Rambo proud, I imagine. Seems to me, though, civilisations decline. I'm...

Re: The Black Pill
Candid, you may recall Richard and myself did oppose the vaccine but we were both cynical over hard core conspiracy. I myself figured there were opportunists who were raking in dollars by vamping up the great plot agenda. I distrust evangelical leaders, more so from the U.S. For example, David Ickes...

Re: The Black Pill
The much proclaimed but unexpected New World Order looms,don't you think? It seems the U.S.A. is finally facing a fall from global leading status, which is seen in (1) possible defeat by Putin in Ukraine and (2) strained relations with Israel. I connect this to overall decline in the U.S. as a democ...

Re: Asperger Autism As A Minority Social Grouping
“Disability scholar Runswick-Cole has pointed out these terms (neurotypical or autist) can be divisive, fostering an “us” and “them” mentality. She denounces a dichotomized view of the world where you are either “in” or you are “out”. I agree mostly. I do think, though, there's a big problem where n...

Asperger Autism As A Minority Social Grouping
For a long time now, I’ve been trying to define a more accurate distinction between the neurotypical and autistic identity, also pondering the problem as to whether autistics can be defined paradoxically as a “social group”. In my view, Jaensch came very close with his integrated and non-integrated ...

Re: The Core Of Asperger Syndrome
Western psychologists seem unaware that very detailed studies decades ago suggest a connection between Asperger's and schizophrenia. If schizophrenia starts in childhood, pretty much the symptoms then are the same as Asperger's. Except....childhood schizophrenia progresses in stages whereas Asperger...

Re: The Core Of Asperger Syndrome
That's called "sameness" and, yes, it applies to me. I do the same things every day and find it very hard to chuck out clothes, despite holes in the knees and worn material. The thing about Asperger's, though, is in my experience it tends to be part of other possible syndromes in a person....

The Core Of Asperger Syndrome
"Quippe, ut fine conprehendam, daemones sunt genere animalia, ingenio rationabilia, animo passiva, corpore aeria, tempore aeterna." (platonism) The ancient Greek or Roman physician used the term "passivus" to refer to what Asperger and Leo Kanner described as "socially progr...

Re: I'm Back To Liven Things Up
No, I'm not that fashionable.
It wasn't a trick question. It's just to point out we are close to a world war. That could wipe out millions of people - far more than any virus.
Factor in casualties from Ukraine and Russia to date.
