CONSEQUENCES: THE UNLOADED LANGUAGE OF AUTISTICS It is interesting, as an autistic, who thinks in almost entirely spatial terms, and who, for many, many years, as struggled to find a language for communicating those ideas in as unloaded form as I visualize them (and found it), to watch ones own skill improve with constant practice, to the point where one sees all humans making similar mistakes using loaded language of convention that they do not understand except as loose associations. Whereas as an autistic a loose association is extremely uncomfortable, if not disturbing - something to be avoided at all costs. We lacked (prior to the work Im doing) a language for communicating loaded social concepts in unloaded form, and had to rely on the closest analogies available (physics and science) as proxies. But those analogies are only that - not descriptions, but analogies, and human behavior is not, like the physical universe, insulated from heuristic and constant changes in relations, methods, and properties. I have always been able to identify autistic speech, but it wasnt until recently that I understood that we all do exactly the same thing - sense a reality that we have no words for, and cannot quite complete, and frustratingly use analogies unsuited to the application to express those ideas. These analogies are useful because they lack the loading that rather poetic human discourse develops with use, like the marks in an old an still functioning machine part - still useful for the original purpose but no longer suitable for the fine work it was originally designed to produce. Normals do not shy from loaded speech - they revel in it. They use it to attempt to persuade or lie to one another that the world is, or should be one way or another. Truth is undesirable unless it advances that world view. And our world views are but representations that suit our reproductive strategies. Truth is for aristocracy. Is propertarianism but the logical consequence of attempting to solve autistic speech in the social sciences? Its Propertarianism - the formal logic of cooperation - merely the natural result of an autistic minds frustration at the inability to express ideas in unladen form? Am I just a genetic machine, probabilistically, if not deterministically, producing an available output given that the patterns developed in multiple fields of inquiry made such a leap possible given human ability to form parallels between patterns of limited difference? I dont really like to think about life in those terms, because its dehumanizing. But I suspect that is closer to the truth than not. I wonder if propertarianism can help all autistics, as it can help normals. But I suspect that the truth it provides us with is further alienating. He who breeds wins, and the locusts breed better than the lions.
