“So what’s wrong with me, doc?”
“Says here you strongly oppose injustice, have an increased range of empathy, and are completely immune to mind control tricks.”
“Isn’t that good?”
“Afraid not.”
believing yourself immune to suggestion is one of the greatest vulnerabilities against suggestion tbh
Rule no. 1: People are stupid. A person will believe a lie because they want it to be true, or they fear it might be true. A person’s head if full of information, most of it is wrong. People are also convinced that they are perfectly able to determine truth from lies, which makes them all the easier to fool.
Bonus points if you get the reference without googling it.
Lol, I’m the autistic where I just believe other people. Shockingly, it’s worked out poorly.
You’re normal in that respect:

In fact, the idea that autistic individuals are immune to propaganda is, itself, media propaganda. The study that those articles report on was a single study that found that autistic individuals show less of a framing effect on their own preferences. It’s much more easily explained by autistic individuals having strong, internal preferences for their own likes/dislikes than it is by autistic individuals being immune to propaganda.
Speaking from experience here, too.
i believe we are much morer prone to complöetely change an opinion when someone presents facts and arguments, like, logical ones.
it makes you shitty in flirting and smalltalk, at least thats what i experience
x: your eyes are as bright as a star
my dumbass: actually, did you know that the sun outputs 3.83×1026 W? that’s so much that the energy output by the Sun in just one hour could power the Earth for about 56.1 trillion years at the current global consumption rate. Or, if you …blah blah blah something something Kardashev scale…
yeaaaa not my proudest move
I had women coming up to me, smooching with me a couple of times, i didnt even knew them, saw them for the first time. and I still was like well, thats as far as it goes, must be joke or something, dosn’t she know i am like, really unthrusworthy and shit?
(in a social setting of course)
one time, a women send me a message that she just moved, and if i wanted to proof sleep her bed?
I took that as a joke, that person must not be very good at it, as if people talked like that, what does she think of me, why is she pulling my leg? better write something funny but nonccommital back"
one time, in art class, there was this naked model we drew. when we were done we had a little party, because it was christmas, she sat on my lap the whole time and complemented me on my drwaing and stuff. I mean, it was kinda drunk and raunchy?
never saw her again.
one time, i was in this train to wacken, it was coincidence, i had nothing to do with wacken. but those guys started drinking in the ICE bar, and well, it was a real party. some cute chick comes up to me, doesnt talk to me, just kisses me on the mouth and stuff. never even talked to her.
i shit you not, i have a couple more of these stories.
the funny part? i had one girlfriend in life. I had a really hard time trusting her, you know, understanding her. i cant be with people i dont know.
On the other hand, if you average the Sun’s energy generation across its entire volume and adjust for that volume’s mass, an equivalent mass of human body tissue generates more heat energy.
So your eyes may not have the raw lumen output of an entire star; but, pound for pound, your eyes would outshine a similarly massive piece of one.
