   Watching Sapolsky's pod, I'm on number six.
   .
   I swear, he's the same sort as me only smarter, he doesn't seem to think Autism is an actual thing, but I feel like I could easily get him to say that Allism sure is, because it's everything he talks about in his globalizing thing, punishment/rewards/meritocracy, I suppose he's too famous and connected to just bark it like I do, but he seems to know. 😇

     Yes, I think, "No free will," is a brand name, like my attempts, a catchphrase and I still think what I was after above, it's a brand name for causality, reality, for non-social realities, non-socially constructed realities.
     .
     And, like my attempts, it's as good a brand name as any for a product no-one wants, LOL

     Bill repeated this.

     I usually say, "Neurotype," but since my doctor dude here likes, "disorder," I suppose I'm going to have to ask him how he classifies himself in terms of neurological disorders, if he thinks he's regular 😀

     I listened to episodes four through seven today, and they've talked about his "no free will," business a few times, once was making the qualitative distinction between, "predetermined," and "determined," and I think . . .
     .
     I think "determined," just means part of the real world, trapped in at least one causal stream, "determined by," something is synonymous with "caused by," something, I think?
     .
     I think he's just trying to tell people with severe, uh . . . modernism that they will never be "free," of the real world and some consequences?
     .
     I mean, I see a need for this lesson also, I'm sorry to say.
     😈

     Of course, that's not one of his theories, he's just giving us the general consensus on that one, I'm pretty sure 😇

     He - Sapolsky - places the beginning of violence and inequity with farming, that surpluses created inequities - and I let this idea go, I mean it's how I started the live toot session that became the book, but I had to change my mind and go back and start again.
     .
     Farming existed for millennia before someone invented war.
     .
     That theory is neurology dependent, doesn't need a "why," for most folks, the surplus "created" the inequity, what, you mean people didn't? What I call Allistic science, that, and again, I fantasize I could pull Robert out of it.
     .
     I mean, "surpluses," exist in nature too, don't they, nomads and hunter gatherers deal with surpluses all the time, like when the salmon return or some such.
