Greetings Friends! In this episode we explore the intersection of neurodivergence, airport thriller literature :), and the human experience.
We start with Dan Brown's 'The Secret of Secrets', the evolution of language surrounding neurodivergence, and the importance of storytelling in society.
And we wouldnt be FRT if we would not go down one or the other rabbit hole :) So we delve into themes of consciousness, creativity, and the role of art in addressing complex topics such as death and personal growth.
Through our discussion we highlight the significance of individual interpretation, the power of creative expression in shaping perspectives and how we add stuff to the things we read, watch and listen to.
And we look into GABA - the aminoacid that makes us calm AND lets our life rush in front of our lifes in near death experiences

Inspiration & Resilience
The conversation opens with reflections on Jon Batiste's Tim Ferriss interview, exploring themes of intrinsic motivation, dealing with external doubt, and maintaining self-trust in creative pursuits. A personal anecdote about experiencing masterfully played music from a landlord's brother illustrates the transformative power of art.
Energy & Perception
The hosts explore the subjective nature of energy and how different neurodivergent individuals perceive and process experiences uniquely.
Sharon's Retreat Experience
• Breaking free from neuronormative expectations • Rediscovering childlike wonder and curiosity • Navigating the transition between neurodivergent and neurotypical spaces
Alex's Processing Methods
An interesting discussion about using Amazon book browsing as a post-holiday mental organization tool.
Building AI Companions
• The concept of "The Skeptical Cat" as an AI agent • Tool discussion: ChatGPT for agents, Perplexity for bot building • Gemini AI Studio for PDF interactions • User preferences: typing vs. talking to AI
Ethical Considerations
• Student use of AI tools • Copyright implications • The impact on artistic integrity
The episode culminates in an interesting and kind of emotional discussion about AI's role in art, featuring a memorable moment where Sharon challenges Alex's perspective on AI's impact on creative work.
And Alex understands why what he said sounded like a colonizer.

All his art, content, Podcast, talks and wonderful things can be found at:
CAN SCORPIONS SMOKE?
https://www.canscorpionssmoke.com/innercriticonline/
We start with the question:
Why does Steve do the stuff he does?
he lost touch with his intrinsic side until around 35 years
He doesn't make stuff because of the fun because he cant not do them
Example: February Challenge
A Project is like a Flower.
Start and End of a project is just in our minds
everaything is always becoming
because of Dyslexia Steve sees himself as a very good improviser
Do you think it is possible to start an organization to give people like us a "Job"
The projections people put on art
self saboteurs
Education and Kids
4 philosphies as guidance :)
as soon you say 3 things in a talk people get out their pen and papers
1. be fascinated (not only interested!) swim in sharky waters
2. open windows in your world so people can SEE you working fascinated (Andy Matuschak) - interestred papers are interesting
3. learn to live without your means - it is not gonna happen
4. hang out with weirdos and outsiders - self taughts
The Book - It sounds like a lot of micro burning mans
weirdos meet and sparks mor inspiration and fascination
creative resilience talk
the community of outsiders

Who trains our muscles of stopping or walking away
the quality of the compost
the more it gets a familiar discomfort...
existential philosophy

Analogy: Neurodiversities as Flavors
paté de canada with corn chips and sour cherry
keep your mind open - you know you! you GET TO know you!
ADD/ADS without the Hyperactivity
back off from diagnosis self assessment get to know yourself
don't be too serious about it
self-diagnosing bashing
mac gyvering your way through life
ask on reddit: what neurodiversities do you have that are lesser known?
sharon's mom knew SO much AND was SO competent in using that knowledge
NEVER tell them they are stupid but find out how they understand the world in a different way
so since most people haven't won the life lottery like sharon with her mom we have more tips:
Sharon's sister: "You are two-faced" and meet yourself for the first time
if a teacher tells you "you cant do it" you can answer "maybe you are just not the right teacher for me"
IMPORTANT: think about your expectations for example: what do you usually do... imagine yourself at home, at work, at a party and what would you do 8 times out of 10? Do you like to be in a ballpark, in a swimming pool or on a race track?
you need the permission to call bullshit
let out who you are is helpful for example to find out HOW to deal with it, how people might react to that, how you can use it
search ADHD on instagram and go down the other hashtags
watch youtube videos and find people you like and can relate to
there is NO one size fits all
laboratory of US
the world is much more aware and you have unlimited ways of discovering and finding your preferred way of communication
Sharon's Calendar Moca

oh that is interesting or an adventure
There is only one way to find out: TEST
view yourself from the outside
asking myself what kind of neurodivergent feats might be at paly here
How do we develop our selfcalming and flowstates in workplaces
Deciding a group isn't for you
use an intro YOU design for yourself and test it
not as an identity
but as HELP for others
introducing yourself as a neurodivergent
s interesting for others AND makes it easier for them
People who are rolling their eyes about others feeling special

and contradiction
and what is NOT working anymore

How people project things on neuro diverse people
Writing down all Ideas to talk to Sharon about in a HEY SHARON file :)
all people Sharon talks to in the last weeks are ALL neurodivergent
Label / language yourself
it gives indescribable freedom
Labeling is something powerful
Being labeled by others is great for Alex
then he learns about himself
giving the labels an AMAZING meaning
projecting something on others
example:
not being self confident
people don't show the inner work
being on the spectrum and having the luxury of being able to develop a sense of self naturally
self
identity
ideology
teachers in montessori
empathy in medical studies
Sharon's Mom: council for extraordinary children

Greetings Friends and welcome to this technical sounding Episode of FRT! But: It is not that technical as you might think :)
Sharon and Alex talk about Dezentralized Autonomous Organizations - short: DAOs
Are they communities Is it a forum? Or a company? Or a univserity? something for learning?
some are VERY loosely structured can be frustrating and slow for some people
is there a blueprint for DAO?
Is it more about the people or the technology
it is more about building a community to solve problems its not about the tools
come up with challenges and problems the want to solve contact the DAO Group and get into a meeting
DAO sounds a bit like a German "Verein" - Club Alex comparison to the Montessori Club in his town
Jeremy was hired to talk at DAOs how to get started with their structure
The Shopping List of DAOs
DAOs ask: "How do you think to fit in here?"
Tiny House Bielefeld eV
You need Patience
The passion of the DAOs...
