I dont understand the logic of this. Even if everything in that post was true and ignoring personal experience, how are neurodivergent people immune to propaganda? Why would people with dyslexia not be scared if they dont have the popular opinion if people without dyslexia would be scared? Do they think that "anxiety disorder" means that people with it are fearless?

Also, a large part of humans are aneurotypical so its not elon musks worst idea of how a country should be ran

Oh, no, it's not about being sensitive to propaganda, it's about having a small group, in which they would belong and vet other members, deciding what's true or not for the rest of us.

These guys are would be-autocrats. They don’t care that we think they’d be terrible leaders.
