Why Some People See Collapse Earlier Than Others
Summary
This Substack essay argues that neurodivergent cognition—especially autism and hyper-systemising—contributes to collapse awareness earlier than neurotypical cognition, due to pattern-recognition and epistemic independence. It contrasts neurodivergent pattern-sensitivity with social cohesion-oriented neurotypical thinking, advocates for inclusive, rigorous collapse discourse, and discusses implications for future planning and risk communication.
