The author states earlier they are neurotypical who feels "really strongly about justice."
Their propensity for blowing things up not more than once but "enough times before" and their need to be explicit they are neurotypical but also really strongly feeling about justice does not jive with a calm, collected, drama-free individual and speaks volumes about the level of drama involved within Rust.
This is way too much hand-wringing and public emoting. The author's article is way too long for such an event. And I'm sorry but if your keynote gets downgraded and you blow up publicly this is as much a statement of you and your desire and need for recognition and conflict than anything else.
These are all symptoms of over-engagement and the sickness of ego that seems to be running rampant all over the internet. People need to start checking their egos rather than self-cherishing and exhorting those egos to greater levels of insanity.
- MrJohz 3y agoNote that the author wrote neuro*a*typical (although I also made the same mistake when I first read the article). This makes more sense within the context of the paragraph - one typical trait of, for example, autism is a strong sense of right and wrong, so I think the author is trying to link those two ideas together: they are neurodivergant or neuroatypical in some way, and as a result, they feel heavily affected by issues that they perceive to have a moral or social justice aspect to them.
