Damn straight it’s a fascinating phrase. Haven’t heard it before, but I’ve seen the phenomenon many many times in various ways. I think part of it stems from simple lack of a large enough database of experience. And it’s so so tempting to slap on a label, pop the fashionable pill and stop thinking and receiving information and examining alternatives. Have you read Temple Grandin’s marvellous book An Anthropologist on Mars? Or any of Oliver Sachs’ works?
The Oliver Sacks books are fascinating. I must put Temples book on the to read list.
Temple was one the of the most interesting long interviews I’ve heard this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYZP1wuGBD8
