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.
Overlord: Ok. And they’re called hallucinators?
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…
Judging from certain comments from certain citizens of the US, one might start wondering if this is how they think:

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…

“Everybody in this book was failed people. They all had all these extreme problems, and whatever they tried to do, they failed over and over again. Except for the villain. He always managed to do what he wanted. Totally believable. NOT! All people in this story were dysfunctional incompetents and failed idiots! Steer clear!”

A while ago I read an article where the author used the term “subconscious” and it miffed me.
In essence, it goes like this: Serious psychologists do not use the term because it is not possible to determine if the unconscious is above, below, left, right, in-front of, or behind us. You know, because it’s not a thing, and it’s not sent from the devil or hell, whatever Freud might have hypothesized.
The correct term is “unconscious”.
However, after being miffed a while, I determined that the term “subconscious” is good. It helps me weed out the pseudo psychologists that only wants me to think they know anything about psychology.
So now I think “subconscious” is a great word, and you should definitely use it if you feel like you should…

Consultant: We’ll fix it with a virus cleaning add-on.
Customer: You mean antivirus?
Consultant: Nah, we’ll remove the viruses!
Customer: Oh… what’s the estimate for that?
Consultant: I’ll obviously pick an open source antivirus program and add a few lines, it won’t take long.
Customer: Let me get back to you…
