Weary Wulf<p>[P] And without imagination? One can't imagine harms! One can't imagine anything other! The only option is to be a selfish, creatively bankrupt, cruel parasite because imagining anything better is IMPOZZIBLE! This is it. This is the key. This is why they couldn't imagine a Myco-Society based upon mycorrhizal networks, because impairment of imagination goes up in direct correlation with Dark Triad score! More imagination, less Dark Triad!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-15</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I think the Dark Triad is synonymous with a lack of imagination. What's happening in the video gakes industry proves it. "I'm sick of creating beautiful creatures for you to murder, only for devs to treat me like shit and sexually harass me. I'm going to quit this shit and make imaginative games for people like me!" And the hiverarchy reaction to this is exactly what I'd expect. The shackling aspect of hiverarchy is a lack of imagination!!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-14</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I mean...</p><p>Me: A dragon is a walking library with an aptitude for reality-bending magicks, they could affect change on a huge societal scale! I want to imagine that!<br>Neurotypical: it's a big scaly lizurd, make it evil, stick it in a cave, have humans kill it wirh pointy things. Done!</p><p>It's pandemic, the neurotypical lack of imagjnation, I mean. I think this is what shackles them and deprives them of Universal empathy. It's why they're so Dark Triad.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-13</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] My partner and I have vivid imaginations, but we're as neurodjverse as fuck. A neurotypical thinks they can "imagine," but they cwn only project what they've seen based upon verisimilitude. Hence the Big Secret Wish of a nsurotypical revolving around materialism. A neurotypical can't try to imagine what the life of a person of another ethnicity and culture is like (hence the simplistic ideas they have about othee nations), let alone a dragon...</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-12</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] So, creative minds are exiting AAA left and right. And the result? Highly imaginative games contrary to the nwurotypical lack of imagination! These are divisive games, BECAUSE they require imagination to truly appreciate them! Omno; Subnautica: Below Zero; Cavern of Dreams; Neurodiver. They're ignored or disl8ked by hiverarchy because they have a special wtware requirement: imagination! Without which, one is incompatible. Hemce hiverarchy's response.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-11</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] So, tell me, what kinds of games would hiverarchy parasites want? What sorts of games would their daddy parasites make for them? And... spotlight! Monster Hunter: Wilds! Calling back to how I said that all they can think to do with a fantastic entity is kill them, as they can't imagine anything else. They can't really imagine, period. So MH: Wilds is hugely successful. Now let's look at something else happening in video games, lately! The indies.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-10</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] Okay! Let's use Elon Musk for a moment. He's incredibly neurotypical, he's the posterchild for it. He excels at the Dark Triad. But I want you to really think about this, really think: Have you ever seen Musk say even one imaginative thing? See, monsters like Musk who rock the Dark Triad are the daddy parasitea neurotypicals worship. I believe their clear, defining trait is a lack of imagination. They're so dark inside. It's a featureless void.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-9</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] What's shackling them?? See, that's the question! Why does hiverarchy seem to have a more limited scope of thought? And do ya want to know what helped me figure it out? Video games. Udderfrickin' blardy video games. How then? Tastes! Preferences! Okay, okay okay okay. I think that imaginatuon is a contrary factor to The Dark Triad. It prevents that poison from taking root. I couldn't have seen it so clearly before... I want to make my case!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-8</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] Guess what you can't do without imagination? EMPATHY. And the thing is? As I said, I sincerely believe most neurotypicals have severely impaired, shackled imagjnations. It's in theit opinions, their tastes and preferences, how the main thing they want to do when meeting a fantastic entity in a video game is kill it rather than learn from it! I'm convinced that this is the root. I've seen neurotypicals, hiverarchy, the human majority as shackled... But why?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-7</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I don't think neurotypicals excel at imagination. In fact, I sincerely believe that they stink at it. You can see it in their Big Secret Wish.</p><p>Nsurotypical: Fast car. Mansion. Hot partner. Luxury. Convenience. Yacht. Jet.<br>Me: I wanna hang out with my mutualist dragons, who have the power to instantiate their psyches millions of times in order to bond with and help others heal. I want to aid creatures whose desire is to be mother trees in a mycorrhizal network!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-6</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] How do I explain the mutualistic elements of the open slurce community? NEURODIVERSITY! I mean, have you ever met them? I have!! Interactions with them are funny. One might ask for something and they'll say "I don't know, that might be out of scope." but if you're kind in response? They'll do their damndest to accomodate you. It's the same for a number of genuinely creative people I've met, which leada to my big claim... It's about imagination.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-5</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] But I have NEVER, not ONCE in my life, managed to convince a neurotypical. Not once. Every damn neurotypical believes "Everyone is a parasite, so I shouod be too, and I should fight the othe parasites to win!" I have theory as to why, too. I think that what defines neurotypicality is scoring higher on the Dark Triad. I will claim that all neurotypicals, as a baseline, score 15-20 per cent higher as a baseline (and that's being generous).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humans</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-4</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I'm going to die on this hill. I believe that neurotypicality is an evil default state which naturally scores higher on the Dark Triad. I sincerely believe that neurotypicality is Sociopathy Lite, with its patasitic cruelty. I genuinely believe I could convince any neurodiverse person of the merits of a Myco-Socoety, one modelled after mutualistic mycorrhizal networks. I believe this because I'VE DONE IT. Time and agwin. Neurodiversity digs it!</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-3</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I will say until I'm dead that as easily as we choose to do anything in life, we could just as easily choose to model human society after a mycorrhizal network. The problem is is that hiverarchy is evil, they value systems of parasitism where they can fight to be a better parasite, for greater luxury. And because hiverarchy, the human majority, is born evil? They sincerely believe that everyone else is, too. That's never been true. Neurodiversity exists.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-2</p>
Weary Wulf<p>[P] I see so many humans aay that humanity is cruel and selfish because that's the nature of nature, earth is Murderworld. This is true to an extent, but two things make it apologist b8llshit; 1.) mutualists exist everywhere in nature, mycorrhizal networks are a great exampls; 2.) if a mind is conscious and cognizant of selfish cruelty, selfish cruelty then becomes a CHOICE. The problem is is that hiverarchy, the human majority, chooses evil.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/humams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humams</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/evil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>evil</span></a></p><p>-1</p>
