Would you prefer the oral route?

Just kidding.

Reading HN has the benefit of making me wonder how brainwashed I am.

Reflecting now, maybe it's my deeply held belief that everything is propaganda[0] and nobody that appears smart is honest (with the possible exception of a handful of Finns I have met in person and Western Europeans that I have met online, plus a couple scions of the ultrarich or geniuses I have had the luck to uh hang out with, the last category of totally unknown autistic --compared to Demis-- and thus defying the assumption of "appearance"..? anyways.. )

.. so should I be absolutely terrified of myself "just appearing smart but in no way autistic" to others? A question to ask the therapist :)
