A metaphor of disease.https://t.co/X03UGC0CAE
@trylks Now, i'm not saying this model is right, but it does seem to be useful. Demons or various imp-like anthropomorphisms of disease and illness seem to be a cultural universal. And most rituals involve 'cleansing agents' that are full of antibiotic terpenes.

Myths and stories that you can't understand thru words.Like poetry, they must be felt.Do you feel it?Can you taste it.The idea you can't express, dancing on tip of your tongue.Angels on the head of a pin.Maybe you have the words to name my demons?https://t.co/nZu34nIHfB

I have become convinced that time doesn't real.I find it more convenient to think about it as another dimension of space.In doing so, I think I can leverage my spatial memory to encode causal chains in terms of narrative maps.https://t.co/MV7NYW7Y10https://t.co/8Xn4zqDDUZ

We never do these studies with autistic people. We aren't considered human.https://t.co/CzXnN0hprv
@visakanv I think this is more common that collectively realized. There's some fascinating examples of children on the spectrum 'exercising' their social skills thru structured imitative play (aka, theater). Learning a second language/culture perhaps acts similarly. https://t.co/g2NFPYJStq

Is the skunk smell due to impacting thyroid? or do they simply correlate for some 3rd factor I am unaware of?Sweat glands on outer skin, ought to also coincide with shifts from duodenum and jejunum?https://t.co/KQBlBHcPLq
