I've been working on updating a decision making process in a #coop from #voting to #consensus inspired by #ietf #decisionMaking process when a colleague made me realize that consensus process is not compatible with many #neurodivergent cognitive styles. It disproportionately favors #Neurotypicals and extraverted ppl while putting more introverted and less verbal type people at a disadvantage. Also it's yet another "social capital" dominated decision making process. Less social capital - less likely you'll actually speak up against the crowd.

The "no one left behind" goal is not fulfilled by the "no loud opposition" decision process. What process does that? We're staying with the simplistic voting for now but adding a prolonged debate. Any ideas? How other #cooperatives do that? Especially #anarchist ones?

[P] Thsre's little to no empathy for anyone in the sociopathy room, and it's hell's work getting them out again. If this is what the indestructible reptile finds disgusting? Me too, big guy. And, like I said, Avalon seems to support that. SCP-682 might see the contents of the sociopathy room, all the cruelties and greed so flimsily justified, and he might be soincensed and repulsed that it drives him to action.

[P] For those unfamiliar? The sociopathy room is a hypothesis of mine revarding a ubiquitous neurotypical pathology. It's a partitioned-off section of the mind where targets dissimilar to the consensus can be placed to justify abuse, exploitation, murder, and so on. It explains the just-world fallacy, the bystander effect, and the existence of institutions of hate such as The Judge Rotenberg Center and the IDF.

[P] It would be the funniest thing in the world to me if SCP-682 was describing the sociopathy room as disguating. It'd make sense. In Avalon, SCP-6001, the indestructible reptiles no longer describe people as disguating—because it's clear that there it's been eradicated. If that's the case? I want to give 682 a big, comforting hug. "It's okay. I think it's disgusting too. I know mutualism is logical. There, there."

[P] It's interesting being autistic. I can never wrap my mind around not wanting to arrive at one's own opinions. I don't agree with calling neurotypicals "sheeple," I think that's overly simplistic and lacks nuance. Besides, sheep aren't hierarchical. I think bees is closer, but I don't think beeple has the same low-brow insulting vibe that those who use sheeple as an insult desire. It ien't an attack, really, just an observation.

[P] I mean, yeah, 0-Daypocalypse is inevitable at this point.

Because what do neurotypicals do best? Imbecilic greed filtered through the sociopathy room. It will be bad, because of course it will. I mean, typies do the dumbest shit to scam all the time. This will be far worse than you think, and sooner than expected.

The sociopathy room will be the death of us all. The Great Filter, baybeeee!

Whuf.

[P] I wouldn't mind betting that the sociopathy room is tied up in privilege, too. I can see the evolutionary mechanism there. A neurotypical tribal group fights foolishly with others for scarce resources. Why don't both tribes agree to fight less? That's not very neurotypical. There's the greed of the genes to consider. "My genes! Mine!" Starving out other tribes denies propagation, which is a core goal. Maybe the core goal.

[P] I try not to be disgusted, but pathos to neurotypicals is a delicious drink, one that leqves me with the cold realisation thar there'e the thinnest or barriers sitting between typie and ASPD.

[A character cries over the grave of their parents.]
"Yes, this is the darkness I crave. Cry more."
[It turns out their parents survived, and a happy reunion follows!]
WTF?? No!!! I am very DISAPPOINTED!!!"

I don't relate.

[P] For as much as ai understand about neurotypicals now—the partitioned off sociopathy room where "undesirables" are sent to suffer agony without empathy in the minds of many; the d8sturbing intersection between unchecked greed and tribqlisn; and how the prior results in inexorable anti-intellectual and anti-empathetic drives—I still feel my brow furrow sometimes. They don't fail to disquiet & diaappoint in equal measure.

[P] The sordid hypocrisy of the sociopathy room is why I opt to not play as human in any setting where it's an option, just as an aside. "An orc is killed? Justice! Seek the perpetrator!" "A human is killed? Butcher the ENTIRE orcish species!" I'd rather play as aught other than human, since the sociopathy room has resulted in humans being coded as fascistic, xenophobic, genocidal maniacs. I mean, it's literal in Warhammer!

[P] Still, the amall amount of pushback against the sociopathy room and its permissive essentialism is very appreciated. It gives one some idea of the paradise this world might've been without the masses ruining it all via the sociopathy room. I wish I could do something with this, but I'm old, broken, and as frail as a fancy glaas vase. There s not much left I can do other than talk, try to raise awareness.

[P] I don't know that I'm very worried about that, as it would require a period of extreme tumult for such an era of peace to come about. This resultant peace would likely only follow earth having been rendered entirely uninhabited, so it's a moot point. And perhaps we should fix the sociopathy room pathology before everything eacalates to that point? It's like wishing for the moon, isn't it?

[P] I believe there would be a certain irony if the world envisioned by the wealthy as perfect is resulting in a world less open to their sociopathy, thanks to the extreme hardship they're creating. This also leaves a lingering worry though that were the world to settle down into abundance? The sociopathy room might return en maase, in force. So this small improvement would be lost to time...

[P] I've seen, in also non-trivial numbers, a growing resentment amongst young people for essentialism in fiction. The horrifying conditions they endure vs. older generations might (might) imply that, for some of them, the zociopathy room might not be thriving. And I would argue that the sociopathy room is the single most defining feature of the neurotypical condition. It might just be wishful thinking, but...

[P] I have a tangential hypothesis. If we assume that prolonged, intense injustice.and abuse can result in neurodivergent development and the absence—or at least rdduction of—the sociopathy room? (And I do believe this.) Then the broken homes and cruel economy of life today might actually result in a neurodivergent bloom, where a non-trivial number of Gen Alpha children are developing neurodivergentally.

[P] The sociopathy room is an awful, horrible thing and the sickness that sits at the core of the neurotypical human condition. As I said, Omelas is an open condemnation of the sociopathy room, read it again and you'll understand. All human horribleness throughout history, including mechanisms like the just-world fallacy, are all built atop the sociopathy room. It needs to be recognised as a pathology.

[P] I'm not young, but I finally have my answer: the sociopathy room. And the reason why "good" in fiction is similar and familiar, whereas "evil" is other? It's all an essentialist framework meant to support the sociopathy room, which both makes it more difficult for otherness targets to be extricated, but also it protects the mind from facing the innate moral wrongness of the sociopathy room.

[P] I wondered since I was young why inversions were so rare. Why is the dragon never the hero? Why is the white human never the bad guy? I wondered this hard when I saw stories where an "evil" monster was clearly just a mother protecting her young, whereas the "good" white human was really racist, fascistic, and greedy. I didn't get it at all. It was the greatest mystery. I spent my life on it.

[P] The reason that the hero always looks like Us in a hero's journey story, where the villain looks like a demon, a robot, a dragon, an alien, a lich, or what-have-you is for mental fortitude. It reinforces the "correctness" of the socippathy room. Any otherness who ends up in the sociopathy room must deserve to be there, they must be evil, horrible monsters. "I'm not the monster!" is the driving need.

[P] I do think it is a coping mechanism, juat a really nasty, toxic one that deserves to be vilified. I think that the concept of bioessentialism is a coping mechanism for a coping mechanism. In other words, it's okay to feel good about an action hero beating up goblins that look somewhat Chinese, this propaganda helped the masses to put Chinese people in the sociopathy room amidst the Red Scare.
