This is one of the worst 5000-word essay attempts I've seen in a long time. It's trying to describe and prescribe for an important topic but meanders aimlessly through a forest of ill-defined abstractions, and falls into an conceptual swamp.
Just one example, what does'The Age of Neurodiversity' mean? Definition please? In a world in which, for most of human history, shamans (about as weird as you can get) majorly figured in cultures around the world for thousands and thousands of years? A world which most of us find ourselves struggling to understand so we can build, then built structures which have mostly been abandoned? While we struggle to understand the meanings and/or purposes of our lives? Not to mention our personal emotions and limitations?
Our attempts to clutch out some concept of normality are hilarious.
Le Guin: " Imagination, working at full strength, can shake us out of our fatal, adoring self-absorption, and make us look up and see—with terror or with relief—that the world does not in fact belong to us at all."
