The Autism Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) and Autism Speaks making a joint statement in agreement is pretty crazy. You have to fail in extraordinary ways to make things like this happen.

"The beginning of science is the recognition that the simplest phenomena of ordinary life raise quite serious problems: Why are they as they are, instead of some different way?"

I, prev, have found refugees from Finland, escaping the Great Wrath. And now, while investigating a tree collapse I realize that several of my ancestors were slaughtered, and burned, by Cossacks - so of course there's a tree collapse - they wiped out a significant chunk of the male population.

Eleanor hasn't sat with elders listing, and comparing, relational trees for overlapping branches - big hearts and minds.

Who is connected to whom?
What role do they have?
What's their impact?

I've, again, seen people mix up what Empathy vs Sympathy is and I'm very concerned about this trend because major shifts in meaning of words tend to correspond to a change in culture. 1/6

Positive intergroup contact reduces prejudice against minority groups more than it does against majority groups. Why?

New research suggests it may be because minority group members are seen as being more interchangeable with one another.

Empathy is a skill, and it's kind of like with height: you're born with a capacity that's either stunted or optimized based on the environment.

Empathy=Understanding

"The sin of Understanding" is a nonsense statement.

Matt 22 (NKJV)
37“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

If you are arguing against empathy, no matter the context, you are on the wrong side.

Satan is the antithesis of Christ, sowing division, hatred, and chaos to counteract Jesus' message of love, reconciliation, and self-sacrifice.

Anyone telling you empathy & compassion are sins is not a messenger of God.

A lack of empathy isn't virtuous, divine, or Godly—it's a deficit.

Being IN love is being mutually responsible for eachother by choice.
January 24, 2025 at 8:19 PM
Love is responsibility and action; not a feeling—it, however, also feels really good to be loving, and to be loved.

If you're an Agreeable person, you understand sentiments like this Charlie Chaplin quote—you don't need to tell yourself this, you don't need to avoid gaining power to ensure you don't accidentally harm others by failing to be all light and love.

Most used swear words, so we all can educate ourselves and expand our range of expression, with better vocabulary.

I couldn't find good equivalent maps for the rest of the world, so if you know more, share with the rest of us in the swear circle!

This is the most USian thing I've ever seen. 😆 To the left: Valentine's Candy box, shaped to look like nachos w/ dip.

To the Europeans who don't know: Lunchables (right) are prepacked little simplistic lunch packs for kids.

When the cultural context you grew up with is individualism the understanding of collectivism happens in opposition, and will look like violence looking to rob you of yourself.

No better cure from silly ideas like basic manners as some universal than going abroad and insult others with your manners, and get offended by theirs.

If there's an abuser and an enabler in a room

..there'd be no abuse happening in that room if the abuser left the room
..there would, however, still be abuse if the enabler left the room.

We already know for sure that the abuser is guilty, so that should be the obvious focus.

If predators were obvious about being predators, there'd be few victims, and we wouldn't blame prey.

"we have no such word as 'please' or 'thank you' because it is what is expected of us is that we share and we give what we have.

Today we have to say 'please' and 'thank you,' we have to beg for things. In the old days, it was a given thing that we would share things. That was a part of who we are"
