Wild and Free 🌿

I consider humans to be a domesticable species that has never been domesticated, and I believe any such efforts to be fundamentally wrong.

1. Humans as a Domesticable Species

I believe it is possible to selectively reproduce humans based on certain traits and create a specific population that aligns with the fundamental characteristics of domesticated species. Evidence for this can be found in analyses of the BAZ1B gene in comparison to prehistoric Neanderthals and Denisovans. These changes are associated with softer facial features and alterations in social compatibility.

2. Humans as a Culture-Following Wild Form

I consider humans to be a species that has never been domesticated. However, their ability to create culture has led to genetic adaptations that follow cultural developments. A similar pattern can be observed in wild animals: those that have lived as culture-followers for generations exhibit genetic differences from those that have remained in their original habitats. Humans also show differences between nomadic and sedentary populations, as suggested by the concept of evolutionary mismatch related to ADHD-associated genetics and adaptation to a sedentary lifestyle. But this is not self-domestication.

3. The Wrongness of Domesticating Humans

The selective breeding of humans violates human dignity, which is inherently tied to individual self-determination and equality. From an evolutionary perspective, it also provides no sustainable benefit, as future developments are unpredictable. Any form of eugenics leads to a reduction in potentially necessary traits by limiting morphological and genetic diversity.

4. Ableism and Eugenics in Modern Societies

Authoritarian ideologies have repeatedly attempted such practices—most notably the Nazis. Even today, the eugenic movement is attempting a form of genetic population control by systematically disadvantaging people with certain traits, such as through the abolition of diversity programs.

Greater diversity, combined with technological and medical advancements, expands morphological freedom, allowing for greater adaptability to future developments and challenges.

Oops? Here I am, completely unexpected and unannounced! Because something is really bothering me right now! And I believe that it has its origins in the new right and anti-wokeness movement!

What's all this talk about frontal lobes lately? People who talk nonsense supposedly don't have any, people who are supposedly enlightened have fully developed them? It's actually pretty disgusting to talk like that. I have a congenitally dysfunctional frontal lobe and am above average intelligent.

I have come across this rhetoric far (!) too often lately! The fact is, intelligence, brain structure, or cognitive abilities have zero bearing on a person's worth or dignity!

It’s disgusting and deeply problematic to talk about intelligence or human worth in a way that dismisses or devalues people based on neurological differences!

The kind of language that reduces a person's value to their perceived intelligence, brain function, or "fitness" is disturbingly reminiscent of eugenic ideologies, including those promoted by the Nazis.

They notoriously propagated harmful ideas about "biological superiority" and used pseudoscience to justify dehumanizing entire groups of people based on traits like disability, neurodivergence, or perceived "deficiencies".

When people casually throw around terms about "fully developed frontal lobes" or use neuroscience as a way to belittle others, it can unintentionally echo those dangerous attitudes. It may not always be intentional, but it still reinforces the idea that some people are "better" or more "valuable" than others based on traits that aren’t within anyone's control.

This is why it's so important to reject such rhetoric. These kinds of comparisons don’t just stigmatize - they dehumanize, and that has real-world consequences for how people with disabilities or neurodivergence are treated. Everyone deserves to be valued for who they are, not judged against some arbitrary or reductive standard of worth.

Please do not share or support such rhetoric!

By the way, anyone who thinks a little would realize that woke is just a collective term that everyone has a different idea of!

🌿 Sensory overload can affect anyone when they are overwhelmed by many types of stimuli, like sounds, visual details, or tactile sensations. For me, as someone with ADHD, this sensitivity is particularly strong. My ability to filter out distractions and focus on what’s important is often limited, which makes the effects of sensory overload even worse.

I often find myself in situations that seem completely normal to others but are overwhelming for me. The habits and expectations of those around me frequently clash with my own challenges and needs. Additionally, there are often biases, a lack of empathy, and a reluctance to understand my perspective and reality.

It would make a big difference if there was more willingness to recognize and understand my viewpoint.

Some might claim that it doesn’t matter what others think, but they overlook the fact that these attitudes directly impact my quality of life and the opportunities available to me. I do my best to make the most of what life offers to meet my needs. I accept that certain areas may be closed off to me because I have to, not because I believe it is right or good. Some things are like the weather because you can't really control them and you have to learn to dance in the rain.
