Here is a simple appeal. By some definitions, I may fall somewhere on this spectrum.
I have always done very good work. But I need peace and quiet -- a distraction-free environment -- to think for myself. I'm also capable of interacting well with people and need some significant degree of it. But under my control.
The world, however, has continually insisted I conform (mightily, and exhaustingly, and stressfully) to its generalized, undifferentiated, trend-influenced, and -- observing those around me -- not terribly effective model of "randomly and noisily shoved together".
As I say, some amount of random, or at least different, and serendipity is very beneficial.
But -- whatever the cause -- please just acknowledge what works for me. Which I've figured out despite all the messaging, enculturation, and external pressure to the contrary. Just let me be. And let me work effectively. Give me a little quiet space in which to do so. It's not like society can't afford it (certainly not, here in the U.S.).
Causes, causes, causes... Stop for a second, and just deal with the reality at hand. Everyone will end up happier, and more productive.
