My (Autistic) Grand Unified Theory of How We Got Here

My faith taught me to glorify the idea of being different, which psychologically fostered a feeling of alienation that I tried to justify in my writing.

This is the fundamental lie of modernity: that we are our own. Until we see this lie for what it is, until we work to uproot it from our culture and replant a conception of human persons as belonging to God and not ourselves, most of our efforts at improving the world will be glorified Band-Aids.

can human beings come to understand their own well-being as linked to that of others, in wider and wider circles, beyond family and tribe?
