Stigmatizing deep thinking as "obsession/illness"

Post Reply New Topic

I encountered https://github.com/standardgalactic, which has a vast amount of quite interesting if abstruse ideas
and implementations of this language.

I think a lot of it is ai generated.

Anyway i was deeply disheartened when i saw people on reddit assuming whoever made it was "very sick". (https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetMyster ... _multiple/)
This is so upsetting. Having any kind of deep interest is apparently an illess.

This kind of stigma hurts me daily. Just one of the many ways people try enforce conformity.

I consider Aspergers as a neurological variant of greater complexity, sensitivity, or speed that results in an avalanche of sensory and cognitive data to process.

This often results in an ability to focus to the exclusion of things others more commonly react to. This difference is often seen as a defect.

Those who are different (too tall, too short, to fat, too thin, etc.) are often derided. It can be an advantage to avoid those who do not see that some differences can be advantageous.
