    Hehe there’s something oddly satisfying when someone comes into my office and I respond to their unasked questions before they manage to ask them, just because I anticipated it. I feel like a psychic, but it’s not - I just had our common pattern of communication down.

    “What I was about to ask you?..” It’s one of those three things, along with the answers. “That’s scary. And impressive.”

    But yes, the frustration is there too. I hope to get into an environment where my perspective is at worst minority report, kept visible as a potential corrective tool.

    I also think it ties to learned empathy and steelman perspective I have. I often try to consider what others, usually neurotypicals think, feel, see - even if they don’t or can’t account for it. If seen in this positive light it somewhat counteracts the frustrations.





  • I bet there’s plenty research on it. I have a lot of thoughts from Polish perspective, but I don’t actually know anything about it.

    I.E. I suspect there’s little systemic racism in Poland because there’s no history that would bring it (no colonialism history in modern era and post-WW2 erased any laws from 30s.

    Causal, very much - less these days in media, but there’s still racist idioms and jokes. I’d say it’s directly proportional to familiarity, but not exactly malicious.

    Then there’s obviously neonazis and “intellectual racists” that have it all figured out.

    That’s my casual take about this very not casual topic.

    This. It’s always been tons of effort for me, just with little results, at least when I finally broke down and first got my depression diagnosis, then went to seek more answers.

    With medication and a lot of therapy, it’s now more results and paradoxically less effort as I now try to pace myself instead of putting all of my resources out there all the time.
