[P] I'm at a point in my life where I'm 100 per cent convinced that neurodiversity is the shackles breaking, and the introspection floods in. "Why do I do this? Why is it desired that I do this?" Contemplative rumination just seems to be more of a norm for neurodiversity. I can spot it on the Internet so easily. Hiverarchy just parrots things, they have this database of responses, which is why original thought utterly confounds them. I see this all the time.

[P] I look out at my little lawn and it's such a beautiful, incredible thing! I wonder how many species of fungi and beetles are lurking there? I know the barbarians of the USA force people to mow, but where one has the choice to rewild and doesn't? It's just evidence that neurotypical hiverarchy are denied introspection, their shackles keep their heads empty. If that wasn't true? There'd be a lot of: "Why do I mow/strim?" But that never, ever happens.

[P] I still think it's funny that, as an autist, I'm described as a creature of routine. Am I now? You mean like neurtotypical hiverarchy who maintain lawns as a routine? Who force others to maintain laws as a routine? I've always seen neurotypicals as the creatures of absolutely mindless routine, just obeying, following their parameters, doing the "done thing," and never questioning it or thinking about it. That was always such an anomaly.

[P] Let's see...

The evils of lawns:
* Biodiversity loss;
* Horrendous resource waste (water/gas/electric);
* Pollution (noise/carbon);
* Loss of natural surrounds (proven to be good for mental health);
* Screwing over pollinators THAT WE NEED.

Pros of lawns?
* Really mindless fire prevention when better options exist, so... not much of a pro;
* Err... that's it.

Lawns are an objective evil forced by the mindless routine-following robots of hiverarchy.

It is a tool that produces results and has good/useful uses. It should improve our lives, not make us dumber, lazier and be the sole source of knowledge/"creation"
If the trend we see currently on social media, search engines, writing... Is our future, then it is very bleak.

Are people forgetting the very core of what makes our #humanity ? #humans #facism #ai #aiart #populism #aitools #criticalthinking #creativity #aitools #aieverywhere

When #marine animals ingest #DomoicAcid, they endure severe neurological symptoms such as seizures, disorientation, &, ultimately, death. These incidents often necessitate euthanasia due to the high mortality rates associated w/this toxin. This alarming rise in domoic acid poisoning cases not only threatens individual #MarineSpecies but also highlights the broader impacts #humans have on marine #ecosystems.

[P] I've never understood hiverarchy's fixation with the "catharsis" of tragedy. "Oh, someone else is going through shit! I'm not right now! I was! And seeing them go through shit is cafhartic!" To me, that sounds creepily Dark Triad, y'know? I'd want to PROTECT others from not having the same. For example: I have severe tinnitus, so I do what I can to fund tinnitus research so others WON'T have to ever know the hell I did. Every person spared is catharsis!

I used to think that a global nuclear war, or massive comet strike would be a terrible catastrophe. Now I'm like "meh"
We're a crude arrogant and lazy species and I really do appreciate a good comeuppance. Like watching the bull get the matador.
NOTE-
I am not suggesting or promoting any act of violence whatsoever. Violence is one of our most egregious faults.

5yrs ago, photos app reminds me, we were at Point Lobos park, California.
These three assholes off-trail, trampling sensitive plant life and potentially disturbing birds and seals.

THE SIGNS APPLY TO EVERYONE
Iirc I shouted at them, but I haven't always felt able to do so. I hate this entitlement, disregard for wild spaces you're privileged to be in, ignorance, harm. Grow tf up. People are the worst.

When Maria Branyas died in August 2024, she was 117 years and 168 days old – officially the world’s oldest living person at the time. So, how did she do it? A team from the Josep Carreras Leukemia Research Institute in Spain conducted a comprehensive analysis on everything from her genes to her proteins to her microbiome to her metabolism. @ScienceAlert shares what they found:
