@whatifalthist and followers:
I follow you (RL) but not so much comments directed at you. I had a chance to browse through a wide range of comments here and YT and given we’re pretty close friends, I’m kind of set off by some of the criticisms – not of your work (which is pretty hard to criticize), but instead of you personally.
Why the heck to people think you’re autistic or a nerd? Is it just a vast difference in your maturity for your age, while you still maintain the humor of your youth? (I suspect it’s something like that) Intellectuals aren’t that nerdy. You certainly aren’t. You’re exceptionally graceful in social conditions. Well mannered. A great conversationalist and good leader even if you’d prefer to preserve your think time rather than take responsibility for herding cats. That doesn’t mean you’re going to find stimulation in ‘normie’ interests. I mean, the swords thing? How many of us went through that phase but didn’t have the money to buy them? I don’t know what else could stick out.
And what is this about being autistic? Well, you know, as someone very low on the aspergers spectrum myself, autism is just the extreme male systematizing brain. You’re very male brained in that sense. Are they confusing your fascination for accumulating wisdom with autism? You don’t demonstrate any of the autistic traits of lack of capacity for empathic understanding – just the opposite.
Is it because you’re so concerned for the men of your generation (because you know what happens when they reach critical mass) that they think you’re projecting?
And what is it with these people claiming your an incel? WTH? I guess you don’t talk about the women you’re dating or courting? And I can attest to the hotness of at least the one I met and the few others I know of. So where is this nonsense coming from?
Is it a class thing? You probably consider yourself middle or upper middle class but you are from a background of academic parenting.
I mean, exceptional people are often idiosyncratic or eccentric, (I’m certainly eccentric) and maybe you have a little of that, but otherwise you’re just normal from my perspective other than you’re extremely intelligent, studied, mature, wise, and thoughtful for your age.
Is it the dissonance between your age, your generation, your sense of humor, and what you study and talk about? (Again, I think that might be it).
I’m probably asking these questions rhetorically, because they’re really directed at your followers.
How can you produce that much content and do so with so much personal openness, and yet some people understand you so poorly? Is it something as foolish as self image protection by those who can’t understand your work?
Someone please explain this to me?
Because the guy I know is just a very smart normie who has some long tail playfulness of youth at one and and wisdom of scholars three (four?) times his age on the other.
Thanks
