> It's meaningless, but many neurotypical people neither notice that it's wrong or understand why it's wrong,

That’s a very bold claim and I don’t think it’s that accurate. Rather maybe “neurotipical” are less willing to challenge “authority” when they have nothing to gain from that.



You know, that may be true. In my experience most NT friends/colleagues don't seem to think about it all but it may be they're simply brushing it off, whereas instead it's unignorable to me.


Or they realize its not a productive strategy.

I'm usually the first to notice and verbalize that someone with authority is a useless sociopath and things are going to turn out badly.

This is never a remotely optimal strategy.

Can't tell if other people see it, but realize they can't do anything about it and that talking about it is only going to be negative, or if they're really unaware (or just keep it in a "subconscious" unexamined box because they know that opening it up won't be useful).

I'm generally shit at politics, although from time to time I've been able to figure out how to fake it.


> This is never a remotely optimal strategy.

I'm sorry that's been your experience, but I can't relate.


You've... had lots of positive experiences promptly deciding that your leaders are "useless sociopaths" before anybody else has, and being very verbal about it?
