In this episode, I dive into the section in the book that has to do with the diversity of autism characterized by a binary relationship between the intellectual wiring and the emotional wiring of the brain. Using two examples of autistic individuals, I outline that their way of thinking depends on how they relate to their world: one through a sense of needing to feel accepted, and the other through a sense of engaging in personal interests. One is fueled from a place of doing, and the other is fueled from a place of being.
The neurodiversity of society and culture is a collective example of how our personalities and sensibilities can vary in dramatic ways. I encourage everyone to appreciate how our heterogeneity is a profound contribution to our collective resilience, which often comes down to our free will to persevere and transcend our own personal adversity plagued by the comfort zones we identify with.
The Maynard James Keenan quote I meant to mention in the episode is:
“The new era of art is an egoless collaboration. We’re a huge patch of algae, single cells in a larger organism in sync. One person might coordinate it all, but they can’t make it happen unless all the other elements are working together.”
