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...

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...

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...

“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...

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 ...

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...

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....

"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...

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.

I repeat the problem. If global leaders had planned to reduce population at any cost, why so much panic over famine? Doesn't famine do the same thing as a toxic drug? You would expect a superficial "too bad" attitude to any real famine but, behind the scenes, relief. Less people to feed in...
