Curt Doolittle updated his status.

My grandmother, mother, me, my sister, daughter, and niece are so cognitively similar, despite being cognitively rare, that we might as well be clones. One of the problems of living outside of the same ‘village’ or ‘neighborhood’ is that we don’t realize it, and have to struggle through discovery and understanding of our rare cognitive processes alone. And while it’s probably true that we are extreme examples, the fact that we no longer have large families in each generation, or large cohabiting families across generations, leads to alienation for far too many of us – even those that are not outliers. I see a lot of lost people primarily because they are unsocialized and infantilized, and lack intergenerational families that have mastered the talents within their genes.
