This needs to be posted as a top level comment.
Best Pratchett to ever preach it.
You almost sent me on another wiki-surfing journey. Nice try, ADHD!

1·5 days agoI don’t need to read your argument because I came to the exact same conclusion.
There is no argument to be had, then. You asked a question, I provided clarification
I just don’t think madness or insanity are useful terms for understanding psychology, nor is making a distinction between the two really worth the effort.
I vehemently disagree. If the distinction is not established then neurodivergents will keep on being misdiagnosed and fed drugs that may or may not work for them.

2·5 days agoNeurodivergence as a concept and how academic psychology perceives it. Everything is a disorder if it doesn’t fit the neurotypical mould.
Here’s my argument from Mastodon regarding this: https://mastodon.social/@voodooattack/116564124322479196

13·6 days agoNobody bothers observing what the difference between insanity and madness is.
Insane: a subjective observation you make about another, they clearly have a self-consistent reasoning process with a metric that you don’t share. But communication and cooperation is still possible. Aka Neurodivergent
Mad: an objective observation that someone is illogical, goes against established and observable evidence, may harm self or others, aka nut case
Edit: clarified sentences

101·8 days agoAnd there’s the third method: subsume it from within. Build a capitalistic product that depreciates a category and eliminates demand, thus rendering entire industries and their related activities obsolete.
It’s why renewable energy is being fought tooth and nail.
Edit: and no, this is not my response to “fastest way to socialism”, this is more like “how to speed-run post-scarcity”
Just depreciate the worthless stuff. If the average person doesn’t need petroleum then that’s 1 less need they have to take care of. If electricity is so cheap from overproduction then it’s practically free.
And here’s where it gets controversial and I start getting downvotes on principle: AI is part of that.
Oh. I think there’s a misunderstanding here. I don’t ask for a single instance’s opinion on the epistemic correctness of my ideas.
Depending on the problem, I ask for one of the following:
- computational proof if applicable (the skill in question triggers its own audit/code review)
- evidence backed by citations and a rational synthesis session (meta-cognitive skill)
- an adversarial design session (meta-cognitive skill that teaches instances to argue for and against their own beliefs)
- a full triggering of a (possibly distributed) schemata session (another meta-cognitive skill that orchestrates multiple smaller ones, expensive on the token budget and I can’t currently afford it)
- Neckbearding (ditto, but with a Cartesian product matrix of questions vs answers, ultrarationalist style)

61·11 days agoHere is my attempt at making sense of how these people function (so far). Contributions welcome!
A neurodivergent with RSI that doesn’t give a shit about your opinion of how they should live their life, nor care about justifying themselves to you since we’ve reached this point.
No I haven’t, and I’m not sure where to get one or if that’s even possible where I live tbh
How about a neurodivergent mind as the baseline? Did you consider the possibility?
Repetitive strain injury. And yeah. It sucks being unable to type as a software dev
I’m not downvoting you because of your religion, as much as I hold it in contempt
Okay
I’m downvoting you for spouting shit you made up like it’s a fact, and for using a lot of scientific terms to say absolutely nothing of value
Here is your value, so go test my claims.
You’re nowhere near as clever as you think you are
Not as near as clever as I want to be for sure
Which is evident already by the fact that you are religious. Don’t breed.
So many words just to end up back where you started. Sorry if I hurt you.
What’s wrong with this? Making sure you’re right should obviously be a priority.
Do you even know what RSI means? I am personally experiencing pain as I type these characters.







With common sense.
