About this listen
Human history is the story of symbols turning against their makers. Myths, laws, identities, each begins as a tool for survival, coherence, and meaning. But every symbol hardens. Every order closes. And when the lock tightens too far, collapse follows. The only thing that has ever broken the cycle is rupture. Visionaries, mystics, rebels, and neurodivergent minds have stepped outside the circle, cracked the mirror, and forced reality back in. Without them, every civilization would have suffocated in its own stories.
Today, the lock-in is digital and global. Algorithms compress our lives into engagement, conformity, and capture. The self, our deepest symbol, has become a prison of anxiety and performance. Yet divergence still erupts in memes that mutate faster than control, in identities that refuse stability, and in the cracks where reality insists on being felt. The lesson is stark but simple: survival has never meant perfect order. It has meant learning to oscillate between coherence and rupture, stability and renewal.
Neurodiversity is not a deviation from the human path. It is the path, Reality’s own way of ensuring we never close the system for good. The experiment is still running. The outcome is not fixed.
