Awesome writeup. Popular / Soloist maps well to NT / neurodiverse!<p>> Both groups have learned to live with each other in relative peace and harmony. Nonetheless, populars will always return to their parties and fireworks, while the soloist will always prefer the modest blinking cursor.<p>Very optimistic. They don't live in peace, the populars often hire the soloists to get work done while the populars like to faff around feeling important. Haven't yet met a soloist that wasn't a people person and a good-hearted extrovert who was labeled an introvert just because people like him are in much lower numbers. The populars, on the other hand, like to bitch and moan and backstab. The populars often hate and sabotage any soloist that dares to improve workflow. That's why the only way to really effect change (and really, push back against the decay of society) is to have a lead that's a soloist wearing the skin of a popular. Or he could just be a *path and occasionally stumble upon success as he seeks to devour soloists (this one people don't like to talk about).
This was a very pleasant read. The part about crossing the chasm really resonated with me. It’s something you try once In a while and always you get pulled back to the side you started on.
