@Aelkus Replacing therapists with programs is essentially a swap of religions (as therapy ~= confession).

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

Just transcribed these pages on autism for easier reading: https://t.co/FlBa3HTHQ0

[@simpolism @simpolism]

Visited a rare books store and found the text that coined the word "autism" (Eugen Bleuler - "Dementia Praecox", 1911). It was $75, too much for me, but I discreetly snapped photos of the relevant pages (which I'd previously tried to find online and failed; German only). Enjoy!

@eigenrobot Says very little about you on its own, but not surprised!

@assassinurmom DM me on @qorprate (my far more personable alt) instead. Can't guarantee I'll be able to give you a full reading in reasonable time, but I wont begrudge a DM.

@Aella_Girl @mirta0001 I wouldn't predict that personally (although I know many astrologers who would -- it's a point of some historical contention), mainly because the tool as I see it functions as a "mirror", so the two would derive very different interpretations from the same chart.

[@simpolism @simpolism]

@Aella_Girl @mirta0001 If you're at all interested, I wrote a blog post about it here https://t.co/GfFXJsJ2Mi

@Aella_Girl @mirta0001 Heh, it's become an interest of mine. I think there's a route that makes it justifiable through psychoanalytic theory, esp post-linguistic turn. But it's not an easy sell for a lot of people.

@jeffreyhuber @suspendedreason @ctbeiser @interfluidity Will look into it. I also plan to read Charles Taylor's "A Secular Age" soon.
