Real Buddhism generated the texts, which were written down by the kind of people who rote-memorise.
It’s handy to have them, but possibly limiting as one goes.

Good job France!
Joe Biden, take note of how rigged the polks and press are and keep going.
This is how the relationship is with them. I moved on 10 years ago, they fought my every step, e.g. suddenly exporting from Drive didn’t work.
Like all toxic relationships, you’re better off without them.
I use Fennec for Firefox. Fdroid can then do updates. I disabled Play Store and Services. plugins work on Fennec.
For reddit, try old.reddit.com with Vivaldi. It is chromium based so works on sites with chrome/blink bias, but also has built-in adblocker (needs to be turned on in prefs). For me, old reddit font scaling is better on Vivaldi than Fennec.
Jobs was our asshole. New version of OS X would have issues and they’d fix stuff through point releases and things I noticed, he also noticed.
I’m not convinced that Cook knows how to use a computer. And he certainly didn’t know how to deal with Ive, which boils down to knowing software vs hardware.
I’m pretty sure that one of my parents and their siblings are all ND. I don’t think it’s terrible, but the unawareness certainly is.
I like my idea because it will discourage greedy wasteful destructive nonsense and at least get something for public benefit.
Unlike extraction enterprises.
Money is what they listen to and worship. That’s where it hurts.
I’m not gatekeeping at all. That’s a simple factual statement. I don’t look down on them, they do good things, so does the Catholic church.
Real Buddhism is not a religion. It has no baggage. It’s a practice. People who do the practices are Buddhists without needing to say. They simply are, you are what you DO. Not what you say.
The entire dhamma could be obliterated and it could be regenned with the practice.
Zen Flesh Zen Bones has an account of that… Monk sees master burning the books… “What are you doing?!”
Master says, “What are you saying?”
Religious people have holy things, practicers don’t.
Try remaking a religion from scratch with prayer.
So religions are what they are, not my cup of tea. Static, unyielding to change. Outdated.
Can’t gatekeep the truth.
I did all my homework in the next claas, so at the end of the day I had one thing left, which I’d do in the first class the next morning. Didn’t carry books home.
I related to him strongly, but talking that way was outrageous at the time, when I did it I felt more at ease but people got angry.
I’ve wondered if Spock was a nod to Dr. Spock by Roddenberry, because he was a cultural icon at the time, including being roasted by comedians and newspaper columnists.
All this current environment happened in steps and leaps and with people building on previous work.
Bill W was going around with bottles of LSD to try to break addiction at 12 step meetings, beatniks led to hippies, the culture was cracking open at the seams, meanwhile all boomers are the same and never dealt with any personal or cultural struggles, since there were no protests about the war in Vietnam or musicians dying of overdoses or people shot at Kent State or the president then his brother being shot to death. No struggles at all.
In contrast, at that time neurodiversity was a small issue, it rarely made the papers in a time when even plain old gayness was shocking enough. When it did it was just filler about weird intractable kids in Dear Abby, no mention of leaded gas fumes and cigarette smoke everywhere people went, no thought of Agent Orange factories or burning rivers having anything to do with it…why can’t these kids act normal?
A ND kid in the 60s was just laughable and weird and hopeless, nerd was not a nice word at all, no love in its usage.
Unless they shrugged resignedly and masked. People who were kids from that time still reflexively use NT behaviors as reference points, that’s how one got through.
It wasn’t a joke: I still have a chip missing from a front tooth from having my face rammed into the rail of a schoollbus seat.
Tax all AI companies to fund UBI.
If we had representation…

One asshole at Hopkins, leo kanner, sat on neuridiversity info all through most boomer childhoods.
Their parents got blamed for it by their own depression-era parents.
There was only one way to be, only certain foods, everything else was either a sin or a personal failure. Those kids could not answer questions honestly, just repeat back the same approved cultural pablum that maga wants to go back to.
Simple has several meanings.
The only light was Dr. Spock, but too subtle for many readers, he had to couch things carefully in his time and the culture was deafening.
Only after Lorna Wing released her work in the 70s did it start to normalise for some Gen Xers.
"They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself. "
It had such promise, then the two largest instances sold out their users to Meta like chattel.
The fediverse needs to be far more hostile to commercial social media.
All of them…
Fuck their fucking cookies.
Of course…
We’ve needed those for decades, it needs to be very expensive.
