So has 'autistic' basically just become a replacement for 'retarded' as an insult now because it's more topical?

I never denied it, heck, even tried to reinforce it with my weird book cleaning rituals.

No one is sane enough these days to actually decry others about their mental health status.

I believe the new normative is enforcing this strange belief that everyone is wrong but you, whereas the new proposed narrative , by people like Peterson, is to simply recreate your own internal narrative despite the environment you live in and fight any attempt to rewrite you into oblivion.

Self Authoring, Auto Rewriting, Narrative Direction, et al are the new forms where we can rise from these abstracts of the old school of thought, that forces us to understand that we are indeed living in a Premium Mediocre era (https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2017/08/1...ya-millennial/) and we actually need to reinvent not the wheel, nor try to change our external environment, nor convince others (this is key)but actually take the reins of our own internal guidelines and rewrite them or edit them as a way to cope with modern reality and in the end making us better.

It is either that or drugs.

If the Court of Autism exists, it is on the throes of a French Revolution.

It is now in the past to ponder about reality, where reality now lies within you.

Just sayin though.

I love everyone equally, it is the key to a better world, at least internally [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If disabilities are fair game then it should be court of diabetes since most of you are old fat dudes.

It could be indeed, but I still believe the use is wrong in a recently modern context.

One of the most astounding characteristics of our current environment is the throwback to a group of people that enjoy a particular game, are mostly over 30, with disposable income and are fixated on aspects that I consider myself inadequate to enumerate, but the whole point lies there.

People here are fantastically inclined to deviate into this particular throng of beliefs that I find hard to conceptualize (for lack of a better word)

But it lies there, tantalizingly close yet hard to define, and I love it.

I believe we could use better terms, anything else is low hanging fruit, sour to some , sweet to others, but low hanging nonetheless.

Again, just saying [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If it were up to me I would love to find something much more catchy than Anachronistic Deniers of Reality , which is more close to what I envision ...

Even when I read myself I sometimes see me as a r/iamverysmart or r/im15andthisisdeep article , but I sincerely try to convey through the language barrier some of my thoughts and sadly end up sounding trite, just for those wondering, DA ANGLIS NO MEI LANGUCH natif!

But didn't realize that this is more like... P99's 4chan or something.

except instead of random anons its a shark attack of a small clique that posts here all the time. so he's doubly fucked.
