deep pattern analysis plus moral intensity, produces a profound relationship to collapse awareness: You cannot pretend the system is stable when the evidence says otherwise, and you cannot keep playing along with narratives that dissolve under scrutiny.

Many people who feel ‘out of step’ eventually realise the conflict wasn’t with the evidence in front of them, but with a culture built to avoid seeing it.

autistic cognition often favours pattern-based reasoning, recursive logic, and multi-variable tracking, whereas neurotypical cognition more often defaults to socially mediated, linear, expectation-driven reasoning.

When a person’s identity is not anchored in dominant social narratives, the erosion of those narratives does not produce the same level of disorientation.

the perceptual traits often associated with neurodivergence, pattern recognition over social reassurance, systemic perception over short-term reward, and truth orientation over comfort orientation, become increasingly relevant in a world where biophysical reality is asserting itself.

Those who have been told they are “too much,” “too intense,” or “too literal,” often turn out to have been responding to conditions that others were able to avoid seeing.

The analysis revealed distinct shifts in the brain’s topology following alcohol consumption. When participants drank alcohol, their brains moved toward a more “grid-like” state. The network became less random and more clustered.

This investigation provides a nuanced view of acute intoxication. It moves beyond the idea that alcohol simply “dampens” brain activity. Instead, it reveals that alcohol forces the brain into a segregated state. Information gets trapped in local cul-de-sacs rather than traveling the superhighways of the mind.

Alcohol shifts the brain into a fragmented and local state

the gist from Ed Baptist’s book: The Half Has Never Been Told

Europeans refused to accept any other commodity for the goods they traded with African people except slaves. So while the slave trade existed prior to this time, Europeans intensified the demand. Enslaved people were stored in factories on the coast after they were kidnapped while they waited to be transported across the Atlantic. Different trading companies “branded” people with their logo.

Insurance arose out of a need to secure the cargo of slave ships.

Then once people arrived in the New World it became about extracting as much work out of people (maximizing productivity) before they dropped dead. In order to make sure the return on investment was high enough.

We still use the same system and language in modern capitalist context. Enslaved people weren’t simply the labor, they also became the capital that the entire system was built on too. ‘I work at a historic site that was a former plantation. It was originally purchased using two men, Levon & Sam as the collateral for the loan. In 1865, the 23 people enslaved there were worth more than the land.’

The entire system depends on having an exploitable source of labor.
