In the end, it's impossible to say for sure whether Elon Musk has autism without a formal diagnosis. While his communication style and behavior may suggest that he is on the autism spectrum, there are other factors that could be at play.

I don't know if he got autism. For sure there are plenty of other reasons why he acts like that. With labels and without.

The single payer is the state.

Hereby I assign you the award for exceptional punning.

I had a group project and the engineer in our group said: "Without the slur users the system would be working perfectly!"

Did I mention it was a project for human machine interfaces and we were also graded on user friendlyness?

Stalker...

the traditional Amerikkkan pavlovian response of staring at the nearest flag and holding your hat/hand over your heart/saluting when the anthem plays, regardless of context

This does sound so strange to me.

You see people who don't care did exist before the oath of allegiance, but since it is established the relation to it is framed in the terms of for or against (objectors).

Of course this has a dialectical attribute the non-participant of the oath was only created due to the "oath ritual" in its specificity.

Corollary if someone would object or not participate, then this becomes a very clear political act, the negation of it. So while it is a tool of forced unity it also bears the seed of resistance in it, even for "unpoliticals". Would love to know how many "unpolitical" students in the USA do object, though.

I had a moment of panic before I realized that the national anthem was playing and there was a flag directly behind me.

So can you translate for a non USA-brain what consequence this has?

I absolutely agree. All of those exist and there is less than this arbitrary 0.57 novelty rating there. Though I have to say that having studied together with MBA students their ideas were on the same level of uselessness. One did tell us in a seminar he had a great idea: What if you could pay with your phone for renting a car at the car you want to use?

Crass idea, back then there were already the first companies who rolled out that thing. He was convinced that his idea would make him money, not getting how capital is what makes you able to profit from ideas in capitalism.

So what he is saying it is good to torture nearly dead beings? Would he want to be experimented on when he is about to die instead of getting palliative care? I doubt it.
