  • Almost like controlling the finance sector gives you an outsized control over the way a modern economy functions due to the fusion of industrial and banking capital into finance capital. Lenin wrote about this over 100 years ago.

    Extend this thought to the rest of the finance sector - retail and investment banks control the flow of loans to businesses, investing only in firms and ideas that they believe will generate profit, while also being able to deny people access to funds at their own discretion.










  • The spectrum of autism isn’t mild to disabling.

    It’s a spectrum of presenting symptoms. What “functional autism” is, is a constellation of symptoms that means you can just about navigate the world as expected by neurotypical people. “Non-functioning” autism or “profound” autism are where the constellation of symptoms makes you unable to function in the world. This is more often than not inclusive of non-verbal autisms and poor motor control autisms.

    “Functional” autism can be disabling for the individual in certain conditions - they may be completely unable to read social cues, or be severely impacted by certain stimulatory environments.
