      NTs aren’t running the world. Workaholic sociopaths are running the world.

      NDs are becoming more and more socially accepted, and less willing to subjugate themselves. “Neurodivergent” seems to be a misnomer: NTs only seem to be “typical” when NDs closet themselves and try to emulate them.

      it makes me wonder how neurotypical people ended up running the world

      Unless you’re being sarcastic, this is absolutely not the case.

      it’ll probably be the ‘forever chemicals’ (e.g. pfas) but yea, same deal.

        Society also had odd little release valves for neurodivergents which bizarrely enough could include parts of the military. Most of those are gone though in exchange at least we get treatment more readily than back then

      Have you met these people IRL or online? Most of the people I’ve met online do fall into one of those two buckets, but almost nobody I’ve met IRL does.

      I would assume this is selection bias before attributing it to some other thing. The kinds of circles you run in are going to heavily affect this.

      I’m not sure the typical part is so typical after all. Given the size and complexity of our brains and the difference in DNA between us, I think more or less every family has their own ways of thinking and acting.
