It does smell a little AI-assisted.

From now until the death of humanity, someone is going to make this statement every day, about every post, until I just can't take it anyone and pass away from exhaustion.
I abhor AI, and did not use a single bit of it.
BTW, despite disagreeing with you on this topic, I read other parts of your blog and, as somebody else who experiences manic episodes, I actually more or less 100% agree with your "Core Beliefs" section. I've seen this before in other people I've met like me, but it does make me wonder about the nature of manic states and nature/nurture. Do these beliefs trigger individuals to enter manic states, or is predisposition to manic states something that makes individuals adopt this set of beliefs? The subtitle of your blog is "wired differently", but the weird part is many people are wired differently but in vastly similar ways.
I think the two are uncorrelated. I don't think that most people prone to mania would agree with our beliefs. I think it has more to do with us posting on HackerNews thus being interested in similar topics.
Very well could be.
