American: It was a while ago we expanded… let’s expand into… what country is that? Atlantis? Africa?
European: It’s Poland.
American: Yeah! Let’s expand there!
Russia has Georgia for breakfast.
Poland*: HELP!
* Poland here represents any country sharing maritime or land borders with Russia from Turkey to Sweden, or for that matter countries sharing history with Russia….
“The first draft of anything is shit”
Hemingway via Samuelson?
A short explanation: No writer will produce a perfect first draft. Instead, we do our best in the first draft and then polish (or reconstruct) in editing/rewriting.
So your first draft is totally allowed to be shit. Beautiful flowers grow from shit…..
90% of people: It’s OK that you’re not exactly like me. I’m sure we can make this work anyway.
The other 10%: We can’t accommodate people being different. How do you think the world would look if we allowed everybody to be different? Get in line and adapt! … You can do it!
Alien overlord: So, about this…?
Assistant: Helios… or Sol. It has many names.
Overlord: Right, was it the fifth planet?
Assistant: The third.

Assistant: It seems a fitting term. They hallucinate when they dream, when they interact with many types of written language, when they watch, so called, visual narratives not to mention when they think about their future. It’s hard to tell when they don’t hallucinate.
Overlord: Right. So the recommendation?
Assistant: We steer clear of these crazies. We cannot have these beasts roaming the galaxy. We might even consider putting up a fence…

A MAGA-free (as in, MAGA-explanation-critical) discussion about the causes of autism and the increase of autism diagnoses:
What I miss in this discussion is more secondary causes of the number of diagnoses. Like the distance to a diagnosis center or place to get a diagnosis (Austin/Laredo—mentioned in the video). I’d love to have seen more about other causes to go get a diagnosis, like increased demands in school, or, for that matter, aware parents wanting to give their kids fair opportunities in school and life… and whatever else might be explained by this type of reasons as well…
