Mark Changizi, in your various presentations, have you anywhere discussed how to de-program, ethically, those who have succumbed to the fear mongering, propaganda, group think, confirmation bias and entrenched but erroneous belief. I have succeeded in only a few cases, and do not have a good handle on a workable approach. In a lot of cases, I am loathe to even broach the idea that people may have been mislead; the reaction and personal cost can be soul destroying.

Mark, I just figured out your Ted Talk from the other day and its relevancy to what is going on. I'd love to know what made you post that specific video one day if there's ever time.

Your video about how our hands line up with our eyes to catch things really stood out to me. As any incorrect processing time in the brain would potentially cause disruption in the process of catching the ball. Now I am not talking about disruption a human would notice, but a machine would.

My theory is that Autism is a actually an evolutionary trait that was adapted for survival amongst the human species. While I can't sit here and give you medical data, I believe that is the actual trap here. I would argue that the human experience is primarily rooted in two domains, the Intellectual self and the Physical self. Technology is the storage of the Intellectual self, as knowledge/technology is effectively immortal -- there are cultural underlying's about trusting trusting technology. This is because to the human experience technology is dead. The physical self, and all of nature, live in a cycle of birth, death, rebirth. Technology is the opposite to this natural cycle of the world. When something becomes technology in our society it typically stops living. This is why I think our discoveries that push forward the whole of humanity are typically rooted in the REAL world. When we develop a new program (app), system, etc., we're immortalizing a piece of the real world forever. I can go on this forever but it's not the place right now.

What technology does is interfere in the cycle of rebirth of ideas because it solidifies the idea and once formed it becomes harder to change by the simple nature that it was formed to begin with. Perhaps that is the psychosis itself, forming technology (lessons/tools) is not evil at its core. It is when innovation stops that technology can become cold again, and "evil" by our interpretations.

Thus we know the immortalization of ideas can become fraudulent, because in nature things live in the cycle of death and rebirth. This fraud goes further with the creation of "meta" environments to operate within. To explain that part of the fraud you don't need to look further than zoo animals to see they basically stop breeding in captivity. We've seen what happened at Sea World in the psychology is the Whales. It can be argued that there are "Meta" environments for everything now - as part of the psychosis.

What if instead Autism, specifically high functioning Autism, may be an evolutional adaptation of mankind to break the cycle within the psychosis that entraps us.

I literally read a paper and it says this.

1) Normal thinking process - Front Brain to Back Brain.

2) Autistic Thinking Process - As Above, but Interrupted.

What if Interrupted is the wrong descriptor here. What is the saying, trying the same thing and looking for results is the definition of insanity? What if Autistic thinking is actually the "HAMMER" of thought just slightly, ever so slightly, adjusting to the side to hit the "NAIL" differently.

I can tell you who I would want to look after me when having to select between the two types of thinking.

It is this second group that we need to pay attention to now, and we need to clear their way. Those relentless minds need to be unlocked from their psychosis, because what is amazing is they have seen the cage around their brothers.

What if the psychosis is the actual cage around humanity. That you can't actually feel, because you disbelieve it is there. Except to see the cage, you must actually believe it is there. This is manifest in human creativity, seeing what is not there. Hilariously, the cipher to this code is also right in plain sight. Literally, keys in the door - that is the hubris of this psychosis.

The solution to the psychosis may begin in your video mark. There ball is being thrown to us, we are catching it but it is the "shadow" ball. Imagine if we evolved to actually CATCH the ball, because I think we may just have.

Even further, what if Autism was once understood as something entirely else in history and this too was absorbed by the psychosis.

What if the origins of the definition of Autism are actually applicable to one of the virtue's no longer recognized or celebrated in the world -- Innocence.

"You're Naked."
