You don’t trust the messenger with the message. Just the sealed envelope
Furrier, smith, milliner; something that requires working with my hands and having a visible product to remind me where I am at in the process. Also I would be working alone because otherwise I would talk to everyone around me and get nothing done.
Yard work alone is my most productive time. Time to start a solo lawn company I guess.
I found that I like programming. Too bad I found it out too late to get hired.
But anything in the tech field because it requires a lot of learning and it doesn’t stagnate.
i like that too. that would have been a cool field if i only found out earlier. well now i’m a kindergarten teacher which is fine too. i try to focus on MINT for kids. maybe i’m educating future programmers. my brother was programmer. now he manages them
I love that you get to help kids figure out what they might be interested in, rather than telling them. I feel like that’s kinda how most of us adults were brought up.
I try to do that now too, but I’m not a teacher. I’m just some random adult who wants to help.
According to research apparently gathering berry and stuff.
tbf: when me and my family or friends hike they are always surprised at the things i see.
“How did you see this snake?”
“how does one even see a woodpecker in all that trees?”
“how do you know that these greens are edible?”
the answers are:
“how can someone not see it? we nearly stepped on it”
“i heard it’s call and i knew i had to find a small stripe of red or it’s hasty movement”
and
“hyperfocus and uncontrolled internet connection”
I’d say court jester
Farm labourer…just like nearly everyone else.
I watched a historia civilis video about work and covered a typical peasants work day. Honestly didn’t seem that unreasonable. The bigger issue would be all the extra chores.
By hanging us they might have eugenicized us out of the population
Nah, Neurodivergence has always existed but the structure of our society and the degradation of our communal nature in favor of hyper-individualist, rugged capitalism has destroyed what alternatives we used to have access to that allowed us to live our lives without unnecessary burden. Our day-to-day lives in this era are so controlled by arbitrary, outside forces in such a way that doesn’t allow for any wiggle room anymore that those of us who struggle to fall in line are unduly punished by the strict adherence to the system.
The structure of life was fundamentally different during pre-modern times; they had access to communal resources (i.e. the Commons) that just don’t exist today. They could structure their lives in ways that weren’t hindered by their neurodivergence; they could take an alternative to reach the same goal. In feudal times, the ruling authorities just kinda let communities run things how they wished with little oversight so long as the towns were more or less were not breaking any laws set by the ruling authority and were paying their taxes. There wasn’t tech or corporatized structure to micromanage every individual action of the people under their purview. There was wiggle room at the interpersonal level that allowed people to work out how to solve disputes and strike deals between themselves without needing to involve a higher authority for permission to do things the way they were most comfortable doing it.
Feudal life was a lot more complex and intricate than people give it credit for. It wasn’t perfect, there was definitely overt oppression happening during those times, but it did have its benefits, not from the system itself but from how that system wasn’t as controlling over our day-to-day as our current, corporatized society.
This isn’t even to mention other, non-European societies and their fundamentally different structures that sadly were wiped from the map due to imperialist conquest.
