Indeed.

Why can't some of us just be quirky or odd? Why are DSM pathology labels necessary?

Frankly, there are far too many who are using the "spectrum" label to excuse poor behavior.
There was a time once when it was considered a socially acceptable aspect of human nature for people to have their own harmless little oddities, quirks, eccentricities and foibles.

About the spectrum thing what you said is the truth. There are also far too many people who lie and are using the "spectrum" label as a lame excuse for their own poor behaviour and instability. People do it even when they know they aren't really on the spectrum but do have an otherwise diagnosable mental disorder that they don't want to admit to. It seems to have become a new blanket cover excuse in recent years, especially with people on social media and anonymous online discussion boards who use it as an excuse for themselves when they know they can't be made to prove it in person.

Doesn't matter that Elon is working on a "chip". He's not the only one working on it. Who here thinks that if Elon was to quit working on it that it will go away?

No one in their right mind.
Agreed, it won't go away. There have been people already willingly getting chipped for at least a couple of decades that I know of, maybe longer, but they weren't chips that get connected to the brain, they're placed in other parts of the body. I don't know who first came up with the idea of the human brain being plugged into the web, whether it was taken from just a fictional book or SF movie stuff or not, but I think that Musk has been the first person to talk seriously about getting plugged in as a real goal of his. Even if he does give up on it I have no doubt that other people would still run with the idea of being plugged in so no, it isn't going to go away. I just hope it won't be for people who want to abandon physical society to live and play in a virtual reality in their heads, which is what Musk wants and has been promoting.

I am surprised you are upset that an African American man is successful.
I'm not upset about Musk being successful, I know about his entire history and I know he's a very clever, ingenious person but I'm concerned about him being a cunning maniac because that's what he is. Any half-way intuitive and intelligent person should be able to see that by looking at his face and eyes even before knowing about his brilliance and his accomplishments. He's a maniac who also just happens to be the wealthiest man in the world which is a dangerous thing.

As far as his multiple citizenships are concerned I couldn't care less about that. He's naturally South African first as his country of birth, then naturally Canadian second because of his Canadian mother - he never had to apply for citizenship with those two countries, he was born with it. And he's American 3rd because he applied for citizenship to America after he moved to Canada to live for awhile so he could go to universities in both Canada and America.

And for all I know he might have already bought his way into honourary citizenships with several other countries too. There are no international limits on how many citizenships an individual can possess.

maniac

mā′nē-ăk″
noun
  1. A psychotic or otherwise mentally ill person who exhibits violent or bizarre behavior. Not used in psychiatric diagnosis.
There are several definitions for maniac, one of them from the Collins English dictionary is: any intemperate or obsessive or overly zealous or enthusiastic person. That describes Musk to a T as well as describing a number of people online.

I think it's probably a better idea to not cherry pick only definitions that suit one's own personal ideals and instead be familiar with all of the definitions that can apply to a word.

Check it out:

LOL. Meet Musk's 10 children and the names he has given them:


You should see his women. He's stated elsewhere that he's aiming at having at least 20 children regardless of however many other baby mamas he has to discard in order to achieve that goal (like the last 3 baby mamas he's already discarded so far). Even if I didn't already know what a fruit cake he is, after learning the de-humanizing names he's given to some of his most recent kids born it wouldn't have surprised me to learn that at least one of his oldest children at the age of 18 filed to denounce and disown Musk. I won't be surprised if most of his children have denounced him at the time they reach their age of majority.

I don't trust him, that is my prerogative.

Be honest now - do you trust him? Do you know what all of his so far stated goals are for human society and for the fate of planet Earth? If you don't know then it might be a good idea for you to make an effort to discover for yourself what he really is before putting your trust in him.

Wow! Do you not see the problem with that statement... really... you can tell a maniac by what they look like??? Conversely, you must be able to tell how good people are by their looks???
I don't have a problem with it and I don't care if some other people do. Yes and yes to your other two questions. Most animals possess the same facility through both the visual cues and sense of smell. In humans reading the eyes and body/facial language is a primitive visual recognition facility that around 25% of the human population still retains as a primal survival trait. Most really good hunters or animal husbanders have it. The other 75% have lost it or it's been bred out of them, especially with the onset of the industrial revolution.

Some people simply accept it as a form of intuition or gut reaction in themselves and don't question it, they just go with it. Not everybody resents it, just some people within the 75% who don't possess or understand the same facility. Maybe some of the 75% feel a sense of jealousy and a lack of something vital in themselves and that could be what they really resent.

Do you have animals? If you do then go look into their eyes and hold the eye contact for a few seconds and see if you get a sense of what they are thinking about you. If you have the trait you will get a message from their eyes and certain facial movements about their thoughts about you.

You're not intuitive. Just hateful and probably jealous.
Awwww shucks. Y'all are just saying that because you're intolerant of the nerve of anybody else not worshipping your hero and expressing an opposite opinion about him.

Isn't that intolerant attitude the antithesis of the free speech rights that Musk says he's promoting by buying off Twitter?

I'm not jealous of him, I'm disappointed in him.

Believe it or not there was a time once when I was proud of Musk as a Canadian before his successes went to his head. Before he started riding rough shod over and abusing other people who fall all over and bow to him in exchange for being bought off. He was always a little bit quirky as a child protege but he used to be a nice boy before he started getting weird with his fantasies and morally corrupted.

After seeing the mistakes made this week by Elon with regards to Twitter I don't believe we will see the "free speech" free for all that he wanted it to be. The advertisers won't return.
This kind of thing is what the late evening news casts up here were about last night:

I heard a lot of questions... a lot of speculation... not much substance. Guess your MSM is pretty much the same as ours.
I don't think so.

That link was CBS which is one of the American contributors to your own American mainstream media, it isn't Canadian media. If there are questions, speculation, lack of substance you can attribute that to your own MSM.

I've found our Canadian mainstream media broadcasting corporations are quite a bit different from the American versions because information is generally coming in from boots-on-the-ground Canadian reporters/journalists reporting news from a Canadian perspective. We have our own Canadian reporters stationed at key locations around the world, just as the UK does, and America too. Canadian media perspectives are often very different from American and other global perspectives.

Fake accounts including ones for Biden, Musk and Eli Lilly caused the feature to be shut down. It's been all over the news.
Yep, all over the news all over the world. Musk had to scrap that feature PDQ when the SHTF. This one was a dumpster fire disaster waiting to happen and it happened at the first opportunity. I think he still has a lot of quick thinking to do and a lot of kinks to work out if he doesn't want to be forced to declare Twitter bankruptcy. On the bright side for him at least, he doesn't care. LOL.

Thanks.

I'd still like to hear from @Paumon She seems to be more vocal in her opinion.

I would not fault Musk for taking advantage of government offered riches
Why? I already have something like 7 or 8 or 9 posts in this thread about things I don't like about the man and that's only a portion of it. I don't think it's possible to have a sincere discussion about him here. I'd be okay with it if it was possible but I'd need to weed through and ignore the comments from some of hecklers throwing popcorn out of the peanut gallery who don't actually have anything worthwhile to say and only want to derail a serious discussion by heckling.

Take a zoomed in look at this picture and look at the dead eyes and think about that and the things I've already said here in several other posts about his immorality and his amoral behaviour. I'm serious - look into his eyes and study what you see there.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/34/Elon_Musk_Royal_Society_(crop2).jpg

Think about the abuses that he has already heaped on his children who all came from his defective swimmers that needed help through IVF. He didn't get the message that he shouldn't be producing offspring. He's already ruined the lives of two of the older of his 10 kids and is now working on ruining the younger ones. And think about his amoral and immoral abuses of their mothers. Research and think about his failed businesses and the business people he has dragged down with him but hasn't lifted up again. The man has a very strong penchant for spiteful vengeance (which should be more obvious by now after what's occurred during the past few days, especially considering the message he relayed to others with his urinal). Disgusting. He is a brilliant, vengeful maniac and a corrupted menace to all societies. He doesn't bode well for the human condition, he wants to replace humanity with non-human things with no souls and he wants to be a menace to all living things that are off planet too.

He didn't actually need to take advantage of any American government offered riches, he already came bearing the vast wealth of his Dutch African and Canadian parentage to start with. But what the hey, why not take advantage of the sycophants who bow down to him and deliberately avert their eyes from looking into his own eyes so they don't have to see and acknowledge what's really lurking there, right?

It sounds like I hope Elon doesn't have a rabbit that @Paumon can have access to near a pot and stove.
Now that's funny. :ROFLMAO: Maybe that's why he's tucked himself away in that rabbit hole looking out from inside his sort-of imaginary anti-psychic attack faraday cage. ;)

But I don't go after rabbit, it's too lean and doesn't have enough flavour and fat and calories in it to suit me.
