I am moved and I’ve become wiser. This is a must see for everyone!

"Why are autistic people siloed to solely be research participants or people in focus groups? Why can we not be the researchers, marketing team members, game designers of the world?"

Steve Jobs, he could warp reality.

Paul Allen, he could hack minds. Hollywood starlets and couples... oh.

I was just the postman. Won't kiss and tell. What happens in business I protest within business and proper channels or clearly labeled.

Autism is a bitch no matter where you land. Paul Allen himself funded. There is a lot of humanity criticism in that book and I'm Paul was not afraid to speak out against Bill Gates.

But NONE OF IT has to do with Bill Gates wanting to

“Public education does not serve a public. It creates a public. And in creating the right kind of public, the schools contribute toward strengthening the spiritual basis of the American Creed. That is how Jefferson understood it, how Horace Mann understood it, how John Dewey understood it, and in fact, there is no other way to understand it." - 1995

in 1993: "sort of, give up before the overpowering forces of technology in a more abject surrender than any that was ever called for in religion."

I had witnessed this first hand at age 15 and seemed to perceive it more than others, maybe what book describes as inner voice of autism.. but I was not sure what to make of it. I hadn't encountered knowledge of Edward Bernays in 1985... but I had the same first-hand experience as Joseph Weizenbaum

""I will participate in the game. It is a wonderful, wonderful opera -- except that it hurts." Affirmation is difficult. We always affirm with conditions. I affirm the world on condition that it gets to be the way Santa Claus told me it ought to be. But affirming it the way it is -- that's the hard thing, and that is what rituals are about. Ritual is group participation in the most hideous act, which is the act of life" - , 1986

"There ought to be others left behind who in some way or the other will continue with what he has done. And take up at least for a while or to some extent and degree, the torch which he has carried. And then, perhaps, perhaps, this world will not be left in the darkness of darkness, but light will continue. Light will persevere. And ultimately life, and light, and love will prevail." - 1986,

"a deep sense of crisis exists. Autism has somehow arisen out of this. Although people with autism look like other people physically, we are in fact very different in many ways. We are more like travelers from the distant, distant past. And if, by our being here, we could help the people of the world remember what truly matters for the Earth”
