I won’t go into the details because you should read Neuro Tribes. When I was a kid in the 1960s and 1970s, autism in the USA was specifically defined as to exclude all of us, because we were verbal. <br/><br/>I am actually glad it worked out that way, because it means I missed being saddled with the label of a disorder. The disorder is in society, not in me. I have always known this, since early childhood. <br/><br/>It is why I gravitated to novels that explored other possible societies, from the Chronicles of Narnia to the Lord of the Rings to Dune to the worlds of Alliance-Union, Known Space, the Culture, and beyond. The genres that came to be known as science fiction and fantasy were staples feeding my voracious appetite for words. <br/><br/>As a youngster, I also explored everything I could from different religions to those ads in the back of books for the Rosicrucians. I went to catholic mass with my catholic friends, broke bread and drank consecrated wine with my German friends in the Evangelische Kirche, celebrated Pesach with my Jewish friends, read the Bible in two languages (King James version and Jörg Zink’s German adaptation), and spent days and nights in the woods celebrating the seasons with my@friends who would now be called neo-pagan. <br/><br/>Of course, when D&amp;D first came out, I was right there, building better worlds with my friends, role-playing characters of different genders and species. I watched Star Trek TOS with my dad, eagerly awaiting each new episode on our black-and-white portable television from Sears with the broken aerial replaced by a wire coat hanger. <br/><br/>No concluding paragraph because the story goes on.<br/>(Although, this is one of those posts that started as a response, and quickly grew to be a journal entry.

Attend events they sponsor and meet the people who are working on issues in BC. Those folks are the keys, not the organizations. <br/><br/>The Land Conservancy of BC has their annual meeting on 28 September in Cordova Bay. That might be a good place to start making connections and finding out what the needs are and who is doing what. <br/><br/>Finding the people will also help you figure out what additional education and training you will need to really make a difference.

As a 60-something who worked in the technology field in the 1980s and 1990s, I feel like an Internet pioneer. The world described in the essay is not the world we imagined, but that’s because we originally hoped the Internet would be a way of connecting people together, and not corporations. And while we thought we foresaw the impact of the “dotcoms” on our old network of individuals’ computers, our imagination was insufficient to see just how those corporations would take over our creation.<br/><br/>Despite that my early pioneer days, I ended up changing careers to natural resources and spent 25 years studying and working in the conservation field. I explicitly rejected the concept of advertising, and my job performance was measured by acres of land protected and acres of rare species habitat restored. I moved to a small rural town and simplified my life as much as possible (while also building a fiber optic network for our town). In the meantime, apparently the world has gone on changing without my noticing.<br/><br/>Reading about the different experience the author has lived through feels almost like reading a science fiction dystopia. I guess all I can say is, I’m sorry. This is not the world we meant to create. We should have done better. 2024-09-21T16:44:13Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgcze734henhywd0fpkclfelvew4wq0a003tfj3kzupcxqsk3a69qzyqut7a8adywgm9jdf3w29pexv6z72gx0p0rfxdwmu08tkkc9yv7pqqkw4t9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsys8jq2r6r09k8vde3aruvy4zm2ty59jl26er739rr702jg57gvas4v4mf4'>nevent1q…4mf4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I left my tech career in 1999, went back to school for an advanced degree in natural resources, and spent much of the last 20 years of my career out in nature, unplugged from tech, and often in solitude.
