You know when you hit that wall, and your subconscious decides that it’s time for bad action, sci-fi, horror movies, while surfing accident videos, and sipping coca cola? Yeah. That wall. That one. Uh huh. Wall….

—“I love KOTH games, really”— Ryan Drumond
It’s the most fun way to learn, especially if you re-run the game differently over and over again. That way you can make it up the hill a little bit each time until you can reach the top.
it eliminates the time pressure and allows you to learn at your own rate. and to do so competitively. And where there is no cost of failure.

—“Why couldn’t you get into a good college Curt? Not smart enough?”—
Hardly. School was trivially easy. But, Autism. I didn’t want to go to college. I felt unready, and I thought it was unnecessary. I wanted to work and travel. And go when ready. If I went, I wanted to be close to home. It was the closest engineering school. Once I got into college I studied a year of engineering, year of pre-law, and then four years of fine art. And I went to one of the best art schools.
I find education pedantic? Infantile? Like most autodidacts, I prefer self study. Only fine art was deeply interesting. Although I should have gone into the literature or philosophy departments when they asked me. I was too immature to understand what being asked meant.
Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution of man – writers lie like hell because authoring like gossip is cheap. Arts are costly. Architecture especially, and all arts evolve to decorate architecture. (ie: the decline in architecture and art)
Net result is that autistics take longer to develop and this is partly because of the simple increase in neurons, as well as the narrowness specialization of the brain.Hence why autism can often be ‘cured’ by high investment parenting. Now, I’m not that autistic. But I was definitely lagging socially.
Now, you’ve got to understand, that delay in youth buys you what I have, and what many aspies have later in life, just as all neoteny buys you greater ability in exchange for slower maturity. Nature is up against a natural conflict – autistics are certainly the next level of evolution of man. The problem is that the cost of educating aspies-autists through to maturity is much longer in exchange for their talents.
Now I know that you actually don’t care, because you’re just an infantilist practicing a little GSRRM. But the proof is in the pudding so to speak.I built multiple successful companies, explored the world, and contributed a major innovation in the history of thought. Evidence is.

TRADITIONAL RELIGION STILL PRACTICED IN AFRICA
There are still 100M Africans practicing traditional religion.
The various religious traditions of Africa are united by a basic Animism. The belief in spirits and ancestors is the most important element of African religions. Gods were either self-created or evolved from spirits or ancestors which got worshiped by the people.
Animism
Animism builds the core concept of traditional African religions, this includes the worship of tutelary deities, nature worship, ancestor worship and the belief in an afterlife. While some religions adopted a pantheistic worldview, most follow a polytheistic system with various gods, spirits and other supernatural beings. Traditional African religions also have elements of fetishism, shamanism and veneration of relics.
Ancestor Worship
Every action undertaken by Africans required consideration of the ancestors. Unlike Christianity, in which the dead cannot interact with the living, African religion dictated that the dead, as well as the unborn, are full members of the community. The ancestors were wise spirits whom people could not easily mislead. People who did not fulfill the wishes of the ancestors, who were always watching, could suffer tragedy.
The African Spirit World
Spirits inhabited the world along with the living. It is they that interacted with humans on a daily basis, rather than God, as is true in Christianity. God created the spirits and could use them to achieve purposes on earth. Nature spirits are those that Africans held to live within non-human physical objects. The existence of these spirits helped explained phenomena, such as lightning, floods or droughts.
Polygamy
African religions allowed men to possess more than one wife. Africans saw benefits in the arrangements. First, only wealthy men could marry large numbers of wives because each marriage required presenting a considerable dowry, or wedding gift, to the bride’s father. A man had to consider seriously the women with whom he sought to cohabit. In addition, since these were agrarian societies that considered farming a domestic chore for women, multiple wives actually served to lessen the workload.

ENLIGHTENMENT
by Bill Joslin
1. Christian enlightenment (transcending the cloud of unknowing) results in extending kinship love to anyone and everyone.
2. Buddhist enlightenment results in breaking the boundary of self and world also known as disassociation.
3. Paternal enlightenment results in agency
