A Nonfiction Book by O.G. Rose
An Address
Everything I know about neurodivergence is thanks to Lorenzo Barberis Canonico, and the piece “Neurodiversity Overcomes Rational Impasses and Stops Eugenics” (which I will incorporate here) found in Thoughts explores some of the ideas which I learned from Lorenzo (and I suggest to everyone his presentation “Christianity & Bioethics: How to Defeat Eugenics with Collective Intelligence”). Lorenzo discusses the famous “Prisoner’s Dilemma” and how rational individuals in that dilemma will produce irrational outcomes — the only way for a person to escape this “trap” is for someone to act nonrationally. Lorenzo makes a point not to say “irrationally,” for if the final outcome of a “nonrational” act is “the best outcome” for everyone involved (such as the case in the Prisoner’s Dilemma), it wouldn’t make sense to call it “irrational.” And yet it doesn’t fit to say “rational” either, for those involved had to act against their (apparent) self-interest in order to achieve “the best outcome”…
