It makes me happy that you two now know each other. Quality people finding other quality people is one of the few balms in this era.

Thank you for doing such great work, Harrison.

There is a lot to unpack in that interview.

One point she made, is that being "different" or "neuro-divergent" (as I am) is not a master excuse for bad behaviour. I completely agree with this.

To me, the correct approach is, if you realise that you are "degenerate" (вырожденец in Russian), is to be humble about it, compensate for it as much as you can, and try to contribute to normal society as much as possible.

For example, I took the Dale Carnegie and Toastmasters courses in my youth, to learn basic social skills. If you look that the student body of a typical Dale Carnegie class, schizothymic types (engineers, IT people, technical personnel) predominate. This course has been in existence for almost 100 years, and has stood the test of time.

Over on the Deimos stack, I mentioned the work of the late Gregory Klimov in this regard.

===================================================

"Degeneracy is a natural process and has been with us for thousands years. It is part of the natural life cycle - birth, youth, maturity, decay, death. On the level of individual person this process is familiar to everybody and there is no need to explain it. We will be talking here about clan (family) level. As many historians noticed - clans history follow almost the same pattern of life cycle as individuals. It looks like God (or Mother Nature if you prefer) is trying to give every clan its fair share of time on this Earth.

"When particular clan pass maturity stage and enter into golden stage of decay, God (Mother Nature) gives signal to the members of this family that it’s time in this world is almost gone – by turning off sexual drive. If this is obedient family, it will follow God’s will and stay childless (or adopt somebody).

"By that time family is usually well funded and can participate in support of different good causes like normal art, normal science, normal literature. They quietly enjoy golden age of decay and finally leave this world with charity gifts and foundation created as good memory of their deeds.

"THIS IS GOOD.

"On the other hand, you can join DEGENERATIVE CLUBS (ILLUMINATES, MASONS etc) set up by the LEADERS OF DEGENERATIVE SECT to channel YOUR DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY AGAINST NORMAL PEOPLE, AGAINST NORMAL INSTITUTIONS OF GOVERNMENT.

"THIS IS UGLY.

"Now - what is BAD?

"BAD will be if you did not follow GOD (Brothers) and did not follow leaders of DEGENERATIVE sect (UGLY), but try to fool GOD by marrying NORMAL person and TOTALLY DESTROYING HER DREAMS OF HAPPY FAMILY WITH HEALTHY KIDS.

"THE CHOICE IS YOURS. ALWAYS YOURS."

I love alternate history tales, and this one sounds fascinating. Thank you for the introduction to her work. Going to check out her substack right now.

The most interesting thing I ran across regarding the story of Jesus and the Romans was first revealed in an obscure session of Seth Speaks by Jane Roberts in 1981. More recently, Courtney Brown verified certain aspects of Jane's information. In particular, the fact that Jesus seems to have faked his own crucifixion to ensure that the "miracle" he promised his disciples would work properly.
