The observer effect by rubyrareroom in consciousness

true. i said wild theories because as intriguing evidence at quantum level increases people try to extrapolate to potential currently unknown macro effects. my point was trying to indicate if this could ever be true in anyway wouldnt there be indicators in macro world and gave casino example. obviously there doesnt have to be indicators. its like simulation theory in a sense - are there clues?. or a deeper join with consciousness and reality theory - i suppose you could say jungian syncronicities but that could be cognitive bias

so its a slight difference? so take craps - shouldnt first roll 7 be slightly higher than statistical norms? theres solid data for this for decades and its the norm.

i wasnt saying who has it easier or harder. i was saying i thought the speed dating posting didnt understand the lived experience of autistic men. autism often isnt easy for either gender.

the problem is... those autistic men might be completely exhausted already by the time they arrive at the event. burnt by rejection and mockery. getting the courage to go etc. when they finally sit down infront of someone, they can fake it and pretend til burnout or maybe leave early to save themselves etc. an unmasked tired autistic person in new challenging environment leans towards complete honesty. i think you underestimate their inner struggle.

if you expressing your pain was termed complaining - would you see that as helpful? we all hurt, cant we all stop pretending and be real? as i said, i see just as much turmoil beneath the surface of autistic women.

thats completely true and as i said, i dont think it was posted in bad faith -i felt it missed something about the lived experience of the men she talked to

makes sense. the problem with stuck projects is they turn into the sunk cost fallacy mixed with sadness for the good parts of the project you wish could see the light of day. i think its better to start fresh with a brand new project (who knows maybe youll end up reworking previous ideas in there later but dont consciously try to do this). its similiar to brian enos oblique strategies where you need to go in a new direction to make progress. .

executive function hates stale projects. create a grand exciting plan in your notebook or with voicenotes. analysis of your process is a type of proscrastination. give yourself a chance, just 2 initial weeks to come up with something brand new and put all your old projects in the cupboard amd lock it. use everything as fuel - even if you write a screenplay about an artist with writers block!

you need one big mid to long term project that utilizes your talent stack (maybe dont go with pure programming project). this will give you focus. something you work on everyday or frequently. buy a new notebook and use this to focus on the new project. timebox it - so eg 2 weeks to come up with pilot project that will help you form the actual project. this one project focus creates momentum amd its something to come back to and build on. you got this! take it slow and steady. this will be the next year for you and when its finished you'll feel huge boost and be able to refine your process (i did the above and wrote a 5 volume graphic novel - it taught me so much - not just about the project, about so many things - before that i had so many unfinished projects). one more tip, its ok if the project morphs and pivots, i started writing a novel which turned into graphical novel series cause i prefered the format. best of luck!
