Hi Bruce,
Yes I'm weird too and have to admit there's a wonderful sense of freedom that comes with stepping outside the square and societal norms. I'm actually quite boringly normal for the most part but the general assumption that I'm nutty as a fruitcake gives me lisence to do the odd random act of insanity like nude swimming in the moonlight. One of the fringe benefits is the interesting people I've met on the outside. Many of my friends are certifiably nuts with diagnosed disabilities such as dyslexia, aspurgers syndrome, bi polar etc. I tell them I chose them as friends because they make me feel sane. The truth though is that they are some of the most brilliant minds and talents (with credentials) I've met.
My original post was purposefully flippant and provocative. It was an attempt to tackle the subject from a different angle and hopefully bi pass some of the standard scientific evidence blockades that usually stall this kind of discussion from getting off the ground.
I'm not asking anyone to believe me. I don't honestly care if they do or not. In fact I'd probably be quite skeptical of anyone who believed me without evidence or personal relatedness. All I'm asking is to be able to explore the possibilities.
