mangling of the particulars - some people pay good money for that kind of thing. burroughs did it for free.

Wouldn't mind being doped up to the eyeballs on the old death bed though. Like what Aldous Huxley was.

Gek is probably the least autistic person here...

hmm Aspberger's, maybe. Autism is a spectrum disorder--my guess is that anyone who is rationally talking about how they consciously felt the family to be an orthodoxy is not autistic. Autistic people would not even know that people usually "connect" ...

Possibly only in that some aspergers cases are probably merely naturally shy or thoughtful people confused by or barred entry to the social hall of mirrors that capitalist identity proliferation creates. Or perhaps not 'naturally,' just by choice - in which case they are making moves that crucial players find illegitimate.

Yes, but I'd add to that full-blown autism as a form of resistance, humans are good at resisting what's bad for them on a biological level in some ways (in others, we're obviously not)...
Autistics are bad, bad consumers.

Burroughs was a super-rich, Ivy League educated, brilliant man with impeccable grammatical skills. He obviously *chose* to use the parlance of the times there. Maybe because he knew what he was saying was ridiculous, who knows?

If that's the case, then I don't really see this as a master stroke on capitalism's part, as I expect most autistics are pretty lousy consumers. (Edit: I see you said this too.) Except perhaps of those toys that implore you to 'collect them all!" in some autistic children? I dunno.

I was so mind-numbingly bored during my teaching course (only when at college, tho) that I had two choices: a) unleash the battalions of arguments that every single moronic lecture marshalled inside me b) resign myself to the fact that few of the lecturers were able or eager to thrash things out properly. After a while, I chose b) with occasional bursts of a) for amusement, meaning that, to them, I looked very distant and aspergersish (they commented on this explicitly).
There is the phenomenon of 'elective mutism' which occasionally manifests in primary school children.

It's whirling combination of objective detail and relational information (continually reformulated and repackaged by the market) that confuses those on the autistic scale - where the rules (whose importance is not usually immediately obvious or relevant to them) are always shifting. 'Fashion sense' usually eludes autistic scale ppl for this reason.
