AUTISTIC AND GIFTED THINGS...

I'm not sure if people know what they're talking about when they talk about hyperfocus in autism and high intellectual abilities. Hyperfocus is one of my traits and at the same time a great ability. But many people imagine an extremely focused guy trying really hard to concentrate, with a sweaty forehead and veins popping out from the effort.
But no, sorry to ruin your fantasy. Hyperfocus, in my case, means that once I enter that flow state, my mind becomes a rocket and can operate at a speed that would make your ass wrinkle. But no popping veins and sweating on my forehead. In that flow, I'm reading, writing on the computer, taking notes in a notebook, listening to BB King at full volume, occasionally playing a game of chess or mahjongg, and eating some olives or nuts. I don't know how it is for other people, but it seems that doing all these things works as a stimulant and at the same time as a brake, keeping my overclocked brain from slipping and ending up exhausted. Also, as an occasional regulator, Lyon, my poodle, appears and starts running on the bed, inviting me to play, and then I get up to play with him for a while and have tea with my wife, who's working in her kitchen.
That's hyperfocus for me. I can spend an entire afternoon like that and get a lot of work done. And what happens if I focus on just one thing? Well, I'll do it wrong and end up in a bad mood.
Strange things about strange brains... The important thing is to have fun while I work...

In Lucian's newsletter:

'In other words, we were wrong to think they were planning to build domestic #concentration #camps. They decided to farm that job out to foreign regimes and pay them rent money to run the camps for them, detaining people without criminal charge, due process, or trial.

#DOJ wants to allow the government to make its own determination who is an “enemy” of the nation and to do what they want with that person. This could be applied to you and me.'

'The extreme concentration of the world's money is suddenly frightening at a time of intense political chaos'

Mainline french paper

It is a growing world consensus we have allowed financial concentration 👉 as acute as a brain aneurysm.👈

Link to Le Monde article

lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/

Image from medical explanation of Brain aneurysm:

In world finance, the concentrated wealth isn't the "size of a berry" - it's the size of the brain.

A brain aneurysm (AN-yoo-riz-um) — also known as a cerebral aneurysm or intracranial aneurysm — is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. An aneurysm often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. In world finance, the concentrated wealth isn't the "size of a berry" its the size of the brain.

A wealth tax on Australian billionaires

"Australia's 47 billionaires make an average $67,000 an h o u r , according to the report — a figure 1,300 times higher than that of the average Australian worker.The report finds that last year Australia's total billionaire wealth increased by more than 8 per cent, or $28 billion, at a rate of $3.2 million per hour."

"...The "rampant growth" of billionaires' wealth in Australia "was the legacy of colonisation", with 35 per cent of billionaire wealth inherited.There is a relationship between this concentration of wealth and extractive industries in Australia. There's a particular historical context to this in Australia and it's that all our billionaires dug their wealth out of the ground."

Je me suis acheté une Woojer Vest 3 pour avoir les sensations de subwoofer quand je vais en rave party VRChat.
Mais en vrai je l'utilise pas mal pour me concentrer quand je bosse. avec un du gros son qui tape fort ça m'aide vachement vu que je suis hyposensible ça me permet de stim en réalité. ça vibre sur tout mon corps et c'est l'outil de stim ultime en réalité 😍

The #US #Government should arrest and detain all #Republicans for basically threatening another mass insurrection.

#JoeBiden should #suspend the Writ of Habeas Corpus (Lincoln did after all) and let's throw all Republicans into #Concentration #Camps.

We should take a page from #China's playbook and send every registered Republican off to "Re-Educational Camps".

It's really hard to read book length texts I often feel. Even just articles are difficult. But then, while I was on Twitter, I often noticed after reading a thread that oh my, that was really, really long!

Just the very basic thing of splitting a long text into short, logical chunks did wonders to my ability to read what I didn't notice until afterwards was actually long texts.
