Summary
Men. White people. Mundanes. Monsters ... will all fade away. The world will enter a golden age guided by those who were once outcast, pushed down, mislabeled, mistreated, misunderstood, unappreciated, and underestimated.
#FirstCoffeeThoughts
I wrote a post back in 2025 called あなたとは違うんです
It’s a rather INfamous phrase spoken by Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda during his resignation: “𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘣𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺. 𝘐’𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”
I always loved this phrase and back in 2008 it took on a deeper meaning for me for many reasons.
Now it is more about my understanding of how neurodivergence separates me from mundanes in very extreme ways.
The post is about how I’m hyper-aware of everything happening in my brain.
Thinking, for me, is not a background process that goes unnoticed, it is in fact something that I am aware of every second. Anytime I am doing something, I am aware of the steps my brain is taking to do those things.
“𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳-𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨.”
It’s distracting and also epic AF.
I touched on the fact that I think mundanes (neurotypicals) do not have this built in function which is what allows them to be so utterly selfish, dysregulated, clueless, ignorant, and generally unaware of anyone else’s reality.
𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜.
It must be nice to be able to just go about life with no awareness of what you are truly doing; like autopilot with no off switch.
This weird “autopilot” and “lack of thought awareness” makes it easy to be an awful person.
I discovered the word “mundane” in a Piers Anthony book as a child.
Growing up I thought people were weird, banal robots that only knew how to copy each other and weren’t capable of original thoughts or any thought outside of what they were told by others.
Back in the G+ days I used the word to describe people who were not like me.
I still use the word mundane as a slur for neurotypicals because their inability, and unwillingness, to THINK creates NOTHING but problems in the world.
For many people if you ask them why they are doing something or feeling something they have absolutely no clue because they have never stopped to think about who they are or their own behaviors and everything is on automatic and in the background. I find that horrifying.
Mundanes don’t even know HOW to think even if they wanted to. They are only capable of Lower Order Thinking: basic cognitive abilities that focus on applying known information, not learning anything new.
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS): knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. HOTS distinguish critical thinking skills from low-order learning outcomes, such as those attained by rote memorization.
LOTS are supposed to, through education, experience, self-awareness and self-evolution, become HOTS.
The problem is that once people leave the formal education system, that is where their LEARNING and THINKING actually stops being about self-ascension and ONLY about production and fitting into the limited roles society tells them they should be filling.
LOT skill users are very popular with abusers, oppressors, and sociopaths who see people as TOOLS, not as human beings.
Abstract thinkers and divergent thinkers tend to move into what is called Fluid Intelligence (1 of 12 different kinds of intelligence). It involves thinking abstractly about problems without relying solely on existing knowledge. This kind of intelligence is considered independent of learning, experience, and education.
I am not saying that mundanes aren’t capable of using Higher Order Thinking, I just don’t see them ever CHOOSING to.
Neurodivergent people have very little choice about how our brains process information and/or thoughts. The awareness is insanely overwhelming and distracting in a way that mundanes can’t begin to fathom.
It sucks and it’s also amazing and it’s also awful and it’s also beautiful and it’s also debilitating.
From childhood onward, people incapable of thinking, reacting to everything in dysregulated ways, always on the attack, lead by their emotions or simply on autopilot are scary AF.
The Universe balances and this is something I believed even when I was very young:
There always has to be balance. There are people who are morning people by design and there are people who are evening people by design. There are bodies created to do certain things better and there are minds created to do certain things better. It is all to create balance. We can’t all be everything and don’t need to be. Community is different people who all do different things.
The IMBALANCE of people who cannot think, who won’t think, who have no logic, no reason, no regulation, who are selfish, self-absorbed, and sociopathic, who center themselves and have no sense of who they are in a framework of the rest of the world … has to be BALANCED out by those who are the opposite of all that.
The evolution of humanity is such that it rights itself eventually … when power shifts to those who deserve it and those who will use it wisely and with temperance.
Men. White people. Mundanes. Monsters … will all fade away.
Things will eventually change and the world will enter a golden age guided by those who were once outcast, pushed down, mislabeled, mistreated, misunderstood, unappreciated, and underestimated.
Everything that makes me different, hated, dysfunctional in a world made by people who are awful, negative, broken, illogical, and inefficient will become the things that ELEVATE future generations.
The Universe is all about balance.
So currently what keeps the wrong people in power? Fear, lies, manipulation, ignorance, and MUNDANES.
Mundanes keep the wrong people in power because they don’t THINK and they are easily groomed and manipulated into following herds to slaughter thanks to using lower order thinking skills.
The more educated people become, the less likely they are to support people who actively abuse them.
People who don’t think have no idea they are even being abused, they’re too busy being angry at the wrong people.
Think about how much NOT THINKING is creating problems in your life and the lives of others.
Think about how lack of self-awareness, lack of healing, lack of education, and lack of reality recognition has plunged the world we exist in into a Hellscape.
Think about who is in charge of that Hellscape, who delights in living in it and why.
If you are one of the people out in the world making it worse for others – in the wise words of Bob Newhart – STOP IT!
