My autism is tingling: A new approach

Ye oppressed minorities under the assault of my hate…

Consider this:

If a person identifies as nothing, except human: they receive the base fare of honor and respect from me. This goes to all people. It is a considerable sum because I have a lot of love for humanity.

However… if a person identifies with a social group that has lost my favor… then they start with a deficit until there has been reconciliation. That doesn’t mean that you owe me anything or are in my debt, but that your social group is more of a burden to your personal identity than you may like. There is nothing that can be done to change that except facts of reality about that social group.

So… Jews: they start with a deficit, but that doesn’t mean that I am going to treat Jewish people poorly in real life. It just means that if they are wearing their Jewishness on their sleeve, or as their cloak— you see this spiritual technology here— and they divided Jesus cloak and tunic among them casting lots for it. Who did Jesus’ identity really belong to? He was the product of a hodgepodge very much like America is, because Jerusalem back then was a cultural epicenter for a lot of different people, not just Jews.

Anyway, if you are wearing Jew on your sleeve, then I am going to respect that as your identity and that works against you in my eyes because unless you know something about Jews that I don’t know, you are an enemy. That is the plain and simple fact of the matter about Judaism, else they would agree with the Christian message. Their entire identity these days is based as in opposition to the Christian message and has very little to do with their original culture. So, that means that they have to be exceptionally capable and good as an individual to have my respect and be honored by me despite being Jewish. The “person” quality in this matter is very much a qualitative value of lots of different meanings that are separate from bodily factors even if they are attached to bodily qualities.

With Black people, that is now the case too because of BLM. That movement and the way things have been since has made things worse, and if you will continue to identify as different from White people, then… well I will consider you an enemy. The reason being that at the heart of “White” culture of Western civilization is the truth from which Christianity and the Enlightenment springs. It is the truth of a divine nature that transcends bodily and worldly qualities. Being White has nothing to do with it, but that came from White culture, and underneath everything else there is that, and that is where I am. So… if you are identifying as opposed to what is White culture, you are opposing that as well, and that would make you evil, because that by definition is good, however you describe what is good.

The conclusion that is most important from that is that creation is good, all of it, and existence too. That is more significant of a truth than it appears as, because upon that truth is all understanding of reality—knowledge, wisdom, and experience, and if you believe creation, existence, or the highest divine to be evil—then you corrupt all knowledge, wisdom, and experience. Even though you may not see the immediate effects, that erodes everything in civilization and society over time like termites eating away the wooden supports of a home. The truth of the goodness of creation can be proven too, but don’t get me started now.

So, don’t feel threatened by the stance I have taken. In fact… there are not really many social identifiers I respect based on their social identifier, but… they are out there, and I decide this based on my personal experience only, never by what people tell me to believe. That works both ways. I do not accept any value judgments about people other than my own, and I advise you do the same.

If I don’t know anything about a group, then there is nothing good or bad about them to judge, but the more I know about them, the more I understand how that social identifier relates to my own freely chosen personal identity, and because what I believe about myself matters to me, the flaws and goods of their identifier they identify with matters to me too. So, even if I am being rude, insulting, and disrespectful, that is my way of showing you respect.

Some groups that currently are in my favor: the Amish. I’m not sure why, because I’ve never met them, but they choose a pretty hardcore life of humility by choice and I respect that. Any spiritual ascetic— that is to say, a person who chooses a hardcore life of humility by choice, like a monk. Even if they are kind of more integrated into worldly life than they used to be at their beginning, they still even at the least of their number, accept a harder way of life for a good purpose, and that requires discipline, courage, honor, integrity, and commitment to higher purpose in one way or another. I realize that three of those are also the Core Values of the Navy, but that doesn’t change the fact that I respect that objectively despite (even though) being a Navy veteran.

Don’t start. I just had a sense that there was some translation issue over that word, or misunderstanding in English too, but I’m not going to use a different one, because that word is not negative and is not related to “spite”. “My name is not Virgin, it’s Tokonome! The Kanji just looks like that!”

Some other groups— recovering addicts. I’ve been there. I am one myself, and I became good friends with a few at a recovery house I lived at for some time. If you identify as that, don’t screw it up and lose my favor. Don’t abuse it. However, it does mean something about your strong will, your determination to do what is right and good, and your commitment to being a contributing member of society in your own way, even if that is just keeping up with your weekly chore assignment. Sometimes, when life is hard, that is all we can manage while still keeping ourselves together.

Russians are in my favor, as a matter of fact. This is because when I was a teen, I got into a little trouble with a cute maiden and her friends at a Brad Paisley concert when we got drunk. One of them got pretty sick and the ambulence came and her boyfriend went with her, and gave me the keys to his car. I wasn’t really drunk at the end of the show, but I certainly did not pass the DWI checkpoint they had at the exit and I blew a 2.1 I think, which was the limit. I guess that meant I was not over the limit, luckily enough, but I still got slammed with an M.I.P. and had to go do some stuff about that.

That isn’t a laughing matter, and that kind of risk is highly stupid, and should not happen. I don’t do anything like that anymore, not even a little bit, but… sometimes it seems that you don’t really have a choice, and that is not okay. There should be more stuff to help with that. They do it in the military to keep warriors safe, but they should extend that same thing out to all citizens and create some jobs with the politicians salaries instead of our taxes just to do that. Point the finger at them please, I’m not perfect, but at least I know I did wrong and I do not do anything like that now.

The point is, they towed the dude’s car, and I was with the girl who invited me, and she called the Russian dudes we were hanging out with at their house the day before. They had immigrated over from Russia and had some cool stories to say about it, including a hearty amount of complaints. Anyway, they were good folks, and I liked them so Russia has had my favor since then because they gave me a lift back to my truck, but that was several hours later.... anyway let’s move on.

However… there was a cute Russian maiden I met at a MWR trip to Universal Studios while in the Navy, and… well now that I remember it, the only reason anything happened between her and I was because of a solid my liberty buddy did for me. He was like "Dude, do you not see the way she is looking at you?” “Huh? What are you talking about?” “Here, take this, and have a good time.” Then he gave 9mm handgun and she and I saved the Eifel Tower from being stolen by Carmen San Diego. Now that I am remembering the details, that guy was a Black man, so I’ll add a few more favor points to the Black community right now because I don’t want to have conflict over race and want that situation back to at least neutral again ASAP, because I don’t have anything against Black people unless you are talking about the Black movement, because that doesn’t include me, and I gotta look out for myself. Nothing personal.

Other groups— Japan— favor. New Zealand— slight favor. Could be more but I had my wallet stolen at a hostel and didn’t have any money for a while. However, I had a great time at Hobbiton, Rotorua, the Sulfur Springs, Mount Doom, the Light House at the end of the world, some other places on the North Island and still gotta explore the South Island another time, so New Zealanders are in good favor. Belgium— neutral. I had a bad experience at the train stopover but the customs agent who thwarted my advances into Great Brittain was a good sport about it when I kept upping the ante with more ridiculous antics so… I can’t really be mad.

The USA— the customs agents seized the Polish sausage I bought at the duty free store in Poland when changing flights there and I never had a chance to eat it. The USA may as well just start a new game at this point, rather than try to climb back out of the hole they are in.

That’s about it for now, but that’s not everyone. Just know… I have a book, with a list, and I keep track of all this stuff. Not a physical book, but this all happens in my mind, so… you’d better be good because you don’t know when I’ll be watching with some crows on power lines or a stray dog at the park. I’ll know if you’ve been naughty or nice.

End.

—as for Japan, they got the most of their favor from me while I was visiting the World Peace Center at Nagasaki. A humbling site, for sure, but after… I went and had some food, a few drinks, and went to a casino with a hearty buzz going on and started playing some anime themed slot machine video game thing and had no idea what the heck I was doing. It was all lights, music, flashing images, spinning reels, and I couldn’t make sense of it because it was not like an American slot machine where you try to line up the symbols. There was timing, reflexes, signs, precision, accuracy, and a some kind of plot with cute maidens, and I couldn’t read any of it. One of the casino employees came over and helped me though and I won a few hundred yen even if I didn’t really understand how to play the game, so that was pretty cool.

Seriously… sometimes I feel like I got sent back in time to Camelot with King Arthur and his Round Table. Ever since I told them about toothpaste they’ve been making me work as their court wizard. I mean… I don’t really have any other choices, so I’m cooperating fine, but that Merlin dude is throwing a fit over the situation because I guess this was his job before I came along, and I keep having to fight him with New World discoveries, which isn’t too hard, but still… what a chore. If only I would have just stayed on my boat without a care in the world and never tried to do anything with my life… no going back now though. I am going to see this through to the end, even if this water stays muddy all the way to the coast.
