The Wall of Awful is a real thing. (Not my coinage, I just recognize it.)
It's hard to get neurotypicals to understand "I didn't do the task because I was so intensely aware of the need to do this that my brain built a wall around the concept of doing it", so we just say "I didn't do the task because I forgot."

I know people think I’m too woo-woo about theory and capitalism and markets. But I sincerely believe this kind of degradation of micro-trust is the real social and economic rot. We constantly feel scammed and then we start reacting like marks instead of mutually reliant humans.

My God, this thread
I had a terrible relationship with food that was complicated by the fact that I could eat exactly what doctors told me to, and exercise how they told me to, and it didn't matter. Because I had a metabolic disorder.
But I didn't have PROOF of that, so my mind got pretty fucked up over 30 years.

One of the undersides of critical AI is seeing how these tools are giving a lot of people a promise (if a false one) of finally having the foundational types of social connections and support that they need to thrive and never got access to. Of course people want to believe it will work for them.
