    Do you agree that Technology is going too far?

    What I can't stand is the AI voice over on videos. It reads in a flat monotone that would put you to sleep if it didn't keep stumbling over punctuation.

    Apparently, yes. ;)

    Parasites?

    There's also some mind controlling fungii called Cordyceps. Infected insects will crawl to where the fungus is likely to find lots of new hosts when it flowers and that's where they die. Imagine such a thing affecting humans, and sufferers crawling in to places like the airconditioning ducts in...

    ‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

    That's a seriously interesting post, thanks for sharing. That's also about the last of my public school education from the 70s destroyed. :) New Zealand and Australia are very close, any rivalry between us is purely friendly, as other nations find out if they try to exploit a perceived rift. As...

    Any fellow Linux users on here?

    Mine still sort of looks like WinXP. I haven't played with spicing it up in over 20 years, I spend all day every day on the computer but pretty much the only time I ever see the desktop is when I start up and shut down.

    ‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

    That's Maori, the New Zealand indigenous people. They used to inhabit Easter Island before their lack of care for their environment almost completely wiped out all life on that island, and they were well on their way to doing the same thing in New Zealand when Europeans discovered it. That was...

    We're finally having a real winter for the first time in 5 years. I'm glad to see it, we desperately needed the rain, but it also means I can't get out much.

    ‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

    I was always far more sensitive to body language and micro expressions than most people, but I also have profound Audio Processing Disorder. I often struggle to hear and understand what people are saying so I rely very heavily on body language, facial expressions and voice modulation to help me...

    ‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

    I mentioned this in a conversation with someone else just yesterday. Most autistic people are quite sensitive to body language which is why so many of us get along with animals really well. Animals use body language to communicate but don't speak. To a primitive people that worship nature our...

    Will a sign like this deter instagrammers or attract them? After 21 deaths at this tourism beauty spot, the community has had enough

    ‘Intrinsically connected’: how human neurodiversity could help save nature

    An interesting side note that could be relevant - there's been no formal study as yet but it's generally accepted in Australia that autism is around twice as prevalent in our indigenous populations as it is in our general population.

    Residual Self-monitoring

    I think I likely cared even less about what other people thought and had less of a filter than you. I knew I was a good bloke and that was all that mattered to me, what other people thought really had little effect on me. Interestingly, I always got along really well with police and usually got...
