Equal and Opposite

Jeff/neighsayerLeave a comment

When we’re doing the “equal and opposite,” thing, the Double Empathy thing, talking about “Autistic goals and values,” as opposed to NT ones, of course, “values,” and “goals,” are generic, content free, they mean whatever they mean to a reader already, and we’re mostly just telling them whatever they already wanted to hear.

I mean, we’re stuck with it, the NT values we are contrasted against have always been that way, just, “values,’ you know, good ol’ values! Everybody loves values! Think “Family values,” if you’re not with me yet.

It’s something I struggle with, fighting generic language is fighting ghosts. They “never said that,” because they never really said anything. Something has occurred to me this morning of Christmas Eve, though, is that this ploy is working, NT society is keeping its secrets this way, but more, they maintain their theory of neurodiversity this way too because we are stuck with it and play along and start talking about “Autistic values,” so that now it all sounds equal and opposite, when in reality, “Autistic values,” means anything and everything except “Allistic values,” just as Allism and Autism define each other, Allism and Autism’s goals define one another.

Also, just as I place Autism as the entire world and Allism as a new and specific thing, the human warrior caste or something – do keep up, this is our science here, LOL – then so too are Allistic values something very specific, while “Autistic values,” would simply be everything else.

Of course, that isn’t right, to put the whole world into a box labelled, “Autistic values,” is it, when we know where they file boxes with that label.

The Problem of Men

Jeff/neighsayer4 Comments

( . . . best read as a Scot, I guess, LOL)

Timeless life was good as can be

We harvested most years

We could flee when flight was needed

But that’s all changed, they said, you see

There are men coming here

And to fly has been defeated.

You need men around here, they said

For the problem of men

There is only one solution.

That’s all changed, and the way ahead

Is the way of the men

At the end of evolution

The Shape of Things, Part Two

Jeff/neighsayerLeave a comment

These were my post-blog comments online, me putting the raw idea of this in context.

700 words to say Autism is not the new thing in the conversation.

Theories are supposed to make predictions if they want to be heard, and I’m not sure it counts as a prediction, but:

Not saying you can poison a person into Autism, but is you could, if, say Thalidomide caused some percentage of babies to show up with something that even looks like Autism, that this model of Neurodivergence would account for it.

The idea is, that since Allism is the new thing, and a very specific, complex, genetic thing, that it may indeed be susceptible to some poisons or other, that is to say developmental interference, or damage.

We at abusewithanexcuse dot com feel that poisons are unlikely to create or enhance things as complex as neurotype, to create a million neurological and genetic connections that add up to a complete model of a human, but quite likely to harm one, needing only to destroy some link in the chain, and not build an entire new chain.

One big prediction this theory does make, although testing will be impossible, is that they are never going to find the genetic component for “Autism,” because it is not the specific thing, Allism is.

Impossible to test, because they will either say they did or search forever.

/4 was nuthin’

The theory in the Dawn of Everything, suggests, if I consider my idea of Neurodiversity here, that Allism has been manageable for much of prehistory and in much of the world, that humanity cycles into the patriarchal, conflict lifestyle and back out of it again on a schedule of only three or four hundred years.

But it also talked about a sense in academia that humanity is presently stuck on the dark end, and that perhaps Europe has been for some time.

Just giving you what I got about it . . . 😇

I know what I can say, is that this is theory, I am trying to make our own version of the human story and so our own version, or a better version for everyone, of the human sciences – I am trying to create good guy science, non-patriarchal science.

And the point of that blog, to say “Autism was here first,” it seems pointless, but the point of science, the reason we need the scientific high ground is that without it, our answers to the empty threats of the Moms and researchers are empty also – and they rule the world, their empty reasons win.

With this story, with this science, if that’s what it is, we have an answer for the Autism Moms, is my point, with this structure, and them trying to say, “NOW we’re getting all these Autistics (same as they say, “all these gays nowadays,”), and it’s because Tylenol or whatever, we can say, “No, Mom, this here science says YOU are the thing we have NOW, that you are the new thing, that stuff about Autistics, “now,” has been disproven.”

The Shape of Things

It’s not a completely different story, our origins when we add neurotypes into the theory, possibly the existing story fits whole inside this one, the entire currently held prehistory of our species could be pared down somewhat to be only specifically the prehistory, the genesis of today’s most apparently common neurotype.

Perhaps the whole Man the War Ape, evo-bro patriarchal story is kind of true and real, if not for all of us, but for one sort, perhaps this is not the story of humanity’s emergence from the general population of animals, but the story of Allistics’ emergence from the world of non-Allistic animals, humans included. We are still actually animals after all, there is no true line between Earth’s creatures on that fantastic vector, other than every animal’s discernment between their own self and others. Surely the flamingos’ ideology place them as “different,” from the rest of us too, on that basis.

Ah, I like that.

These efforts always look hopeless when I begin but after the first step, the next one becomes available. I like that, and this is what the existence of different neurotypes does for us, it makes it possible to say things about people without having to slip into a world of ideologies where it has to mean, “all people.” “Slip into,” Allistic world, is what that is, perhaps. I think the existing narrative, our currently held prehistory is Allistic, and “all humans,” makes sense to them, it’s a feature or it comes with other features, part of something they evolved for.

It came up online yesterday, and it’s always good to remember because we are hardwired for creationism (trademark, my idea, an AST idea), that if a thing exists in life, it is because evolution has made a case for it in real life, and Allistic people and the things they believe do surely exist.

But, you know, the world is a big place and gets bigger with everything you learn, and time? Don’t get me started, LOL. There has been a lot, a lot of time. Just because evolution grows a thing, that don’t make it right. There’s a lot of horrendous crap out there, parasites and whatnot.

Yes, that’s right, parasites “out there,” LOL.

Ahem. Never mind.

Not sure it’s coming through, did you get it yourself?

Not a parasite, I mean did you see the structure, the timeline – animals, including humans in our terrible Eden until something changes and the new thing, not “humans,” like we tell it, but Allistic humans appear, Allistics are the new thing, and not to confuse matters, a new thing, perhaps a sort of a creation, I mean of self-directed evolution, these Allistic humans, perhaps in the existing framework often confused with ‘modern humans?’

Snap you back out of the 19th. Century textbook I’m always writing and back to present day reality – Allistics are new. They are not the forever, proper, intelligently designed Human species, the original, no. They are the new kid on the block. There are not “Autistics now,” as the fascists and fascist adjacent like to say. There always were, everything is Autistic, “Autistic,” apparently defines all the diversity that isn’t Allistic.

There are Allistics now, is the point.

Equal and opposite, something is causing these ‘Autism Moms and Researchers,’ and I need a grant. Oh, right. Preliminary evidence, then?

A bit of an insight from writing and talking online last evening, that can we look at the perhaps religious oil execs who ignored the climate, can you look at that probably neurotypical guy, I mean, he doesn’t run his industry alone, can you look at that guy and say, “this seems like a neurotype that has lasted three million years?”

Can you look at the nuclear bomb and say, “this seems like a neurotype that would last three million years?” To poison the Earth for tens, hundreds of thousands of years to win a three year war? This is the OG, tried and true human neurotype? Three million years and looking forward to three million more?

Isn’t it far more likely that this is a new and hardly viable mind that has finished its planet in the evolutionary blink of an eye?
