Lol this entire thread that you’ve linked to is “why neurotypicals are bad, except I’m not going to admit that they’re bad and I’ll keep protesting devoutly that they’re not bad even though I haven’t said a single actually positive thing about them yet.”
Go ahead and test the prediction from the start of that thread, if you like, and verify that random people on the street will often deny the existence of the other two types. (The prediction also says not everyone will deny the same two.) You already know that NTs—asked to imagine maximal, perfect goodness—will imagine someone who gets upset about having the chance to save humanity by suffering for a few days, but who will do it anyway if Omega tells him it can’t be avoided.
Oh god, that not only describes Jesus but also many main characters of epic fantasy stories etc. The whole reluctant hero bullshit. I was always like, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be the hero? Interesting point though!
Except, if you Read The Manual, you might conclude that in fact those people also can’t understand you exist.
