In addition to the other answer, there's also a scene where philosophers feel like Deep Thought is stealing their jobs and then it comes up with a way to make them infinitely famous by getting them to appear like they are arguing about something profound
Dunno what it's called but I have shared a similar viewpoint for quite some time. The only 'solution' I've found for myself is to try to gain happiness and life satisfaction from my interests and that's about it. I don't believe things will 'change' on a grand scale unless conditions force it.
The only way I've found works for me is if I build in a habitual association with the task I'm doing. So like I know I tend to hold my breath when cleaning the bathroom and it makes me feel light headed, so then now I tell myself every time I wipe a surface, I take a breath. If it's admin it would be some task related trigger to breathe etc
Yeah I have a somewhat similar viewpoint too. Social constructs dictate we should want to spend time with x and y person which then conditions us to be around people that may make us uncomfortable etc
It's kind of the same issue as people not liking it when you correct a mistake they are making even if you think it might be helpful for them. Usually the thing I have to remind myself is that if they don't ask they probably don't care so I would probably just avoid sharing my thoughts. Only when I know / trust someone well am I likely to share opinions more freely. I guess maybe this counts as masking but it's kind of like a 'live and let live' kind of thing.
Very much this. Something I've learnt over the years being a middle aged autistic person is that when someone has made a decision, respect it and move on, irrespective of whether you think it is based on incorrect information. I learnt this by doing the opposite as a kid.
This seems like a fairly well conducted econometric study to be fair although I agree the message is a bit weird. I would have to read it in more detail to understand whether their identification strategy is good enough though but this is a working paper so it still has to be peer reviewed in any case before official publication
Look for books by Devon Price and Megan Anna Neff. Neff also has a YouTube channel, I think it's called neurodivergent insights or something similar. They are both academic psychologists and Autistic / ADHD themselves I believe.
I generally agree with the principle of what you're saying in a philosophical sense. However, there are also some empirical truths to contend with. People typically don't like radical change, people are prone to impulsive errors in judgement ('system 1 thinking'), an impulsive mistake with guns has far greater implications than an impulsive mistake without guns. So while yes there is a big cultural change that needs to happen, in practice you have to make small changes that marginally lead society towards a better culture.

Hitchhiker's Guide anyone?
Similar to most people, life experiences not aligning with what we are led to believe when we are young, and just general observations.

Strongly agree. Happens with food stuff a lot too when they change recipe but it's the same product

Yeah this. There's a reason why recording studios are so expensive, treating a room basically requires very specific construction
Yeah noise cancelling headphones are your best bet, it's been a life changer for me
Noise cancelling headphones, especially airpods pro. I wear them basically when I go out anywhere there are a lot of people
A lot of them are small things that stand out in the background, like coil whine as somebody else mentioned

Yeah I used to say stuff like that too when I was young and didn't know any better but I avoid jokes that refer to conditions in that sort of way now

The Telegraph has always been a conservative broadsheet newspaper in the UK so it wouldn't surprise me, it's basically the opposite of The Guardian
Great, now offer internet
