[MD] There is a name for what's wrong with you!

[118]

Hi Ian,
My mistake.  I suppose I am just used to the negativity of opinion displayed
on this site which tends to try to put others down to raise oneself.  I
thought you were Pirsig bashing, again.  Yes, thinking outside the box is
not always controllable and does have its consequences (see ZMM).  The
suffering you speak of comes from those watching, not those experiencing.
 It is the effort to try to make them think like "normal people" that causes
the teachers to suffer.  If you can project yourself into an autistic mind,
let me know what you find.  If you want to feel there is suffering going on,
then that is awfully Christian of you.  I admire you for that.

Now, what do you mean by logical positive scientism?  What is there to
transcend?  I do not understand where you are coming from.  Is there a
better way to think?  Do you realize your autistic thoughts throughout the
day, we all have them?
Cheers,
Mark
