I love the French for being the most outspoken people among the European countries and having a ton of good initiatives going on. But don’t idolize them, most of their population is just as braindead and complacent as the rest of us Europeans, and their general unwillingness to speak English like most other Europeans hinders the spreading of their radical initiatives in the rest of Europe. (Sorry for the blatant generalizing. Not every French, not every European, …)

Okay but which nation isn’t?

I find nations problematic because they are units that are too large and therefore are controlled by groups not easily overseen and almost impossible to make accountable by the population.

The USA is not only a nation but an empire, which is like a nation with an integrated, violently imposed pyramid scheme.

If only we could find a way to organize into independent smaller units that federate into larger units and remain tolerant of the differences of the smaller units. Ironically that is what the USA seems to have attempted to do with their united states thing?

Great to hear! I guess others who are not in leadership roles would like to hear more about guys like you, and would like to know that some of you are also taking the time to teach other leaders take a different approach to work management and leadership culture.

I’m curious what would be your reply to this? Do you think a society can regulate or educate this problem away?

I snorted, slightly ashamed of myself

oh no you just reminded me

Drawing. I set myself the strict rule to be completely unambitious about my coloured pencil drawings. I do them only for myself, and the enjoyment while doing it is the main purpose. So sometimes I just draw some squiggles and then I fill them with colours, one layer over another. One drawing can take weeks, I do a bit every evening and it is so relaxing. Now with time they start looking really neat as a cool side effect, so I have been thinking about framing them.

no you can’t

First we need more info, for example: What activities do you enjoy? Would you rather have a job/career that pays for your hobbies, or a job/career that fulfills you? What would ‘normal’ or ‘high’ achievement look in your opinion?

Thanks a lot for sharing this. I’ll keep it bookmarked for later reference, looks very cool!

Sometimes I wonder if all of us spectrumy people carry some kind of personal or deep family trauma.

Captcha buster is taking care of the captchas now at least. A robot that proves I’m not a robot. Is this the singularity yet?

Same with real people out there. I grew up in conflict with my parents before the internet and had the exact same issues you describe, just offline. it comes down to taking any and every advice with a grain of salt, no matter. Online and offline self help groups can be great, and life saving.

Too restrained for a purse. In the pockets of my cargo pants: seeds, flowers and twigs. Bits of string. Plastic electric fence thingies.

I think it’s quite possible we are already being ‘exploited’ (or exist in some symbiosis with other species, depends on perspective)?

Did we domesticate yeast, or did it domesticate us?

hm sounds like you’re enjoying yourself way too much sure that must be bad in some way? /s

agreed, being tall would be cool tho

It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.

I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.

Wow that sounds amazing. I’m not into heavy world building, but sometimes wish I were, and this sounds excellent and great fun! Is this a fork of the standard MediaWiki software?
