When I hear about tuition I compare modern day w my day. College students often live a life in college most will never be able to replicate. “Dorms” & coffee shops & non-cafeterias. Sports, millionaire coaches & high paid upper admin exacerbated by loans to teenagers w no income or credit history.

This presumes that he had “it” ever before: “that which he has so clearly lost, and will likely never regain . . . .” Some people never knew of or had “it” ever.

But what if they didn’t want her running free out and about after she provided only that which they desired and now it remains preferable to keep her shut up?

It is NOT just that we now have telescopes to find autism “stars” but since 2014 or so DSM-V has also BROADENED the definition of what an autism “star” is. So of course you are going to find a lot more people on a SPECTRUM. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This is typically done in an employer-employee situation where it would make sense (in contrast to the ludicrousness of the tenant lease provision). Unless the lease is with respect to a recording studio or something - but never heard of that before and even there likely overreach and unprecedented.

And I especially like the concluding sentence: “even the attempt at translation suggests a deepening of respect for them—and a willingness to free ourselves from our human preconceptions and prejudices.”

The 2 books I liked most (lots of underlining & notes & highlights) are @seanmcarroll.bsky.social ‘s The Big Picture; and Harry Cliff’s How to Make an Apple Pie from Scratch. Also, a mind bender, and what got me started on all this, was Kip Thorne’s Black Holes and Time Warps.

I also found five citations with significant errors, and a paragraph missing an important citation.
