    SMiLes Dear Savvy Interestingly
    There is An Autism Quotient Test

    That Assesses the Potential

    of Autism By Measuring
    Systemizing Nature/Intelligence
    Versus Social Empathic Nature/Intelligence

    in Human Beings

    Interestingly too Back in my Dead Zone Days

    of Human Soul For Real that Other Wise Finds
    Ease in Moving Connecting and Co-Creating With Others

    i Scored a 45 Out of 50 in Strength of Systemizing Intelligence

    Yet Very Weak in Social Empathic Intelligence And Not too Surprising to me

    Now Looking Back As Environment in Terms of Nurture And Environment in Terms

    of Born Nature Plays a Huge Role in the Develop of Social Empathic Cognition Versus

    Systemizing Mechanical Cognition as Some Human Beings are Either Born With Little

    Ability to Produce and
    Feel the Bonding and
    Connecting Human
    Neurohormone Oxytocin

    What Makes A Casual Conversation
    About the Weather With a Stranger
    Feel Warm And Fuzzy Reducing

    Anxiety and Even Pain As This

    Ability to Feel This Warmth May
    Be Severely Reduced in Human ‘Wiring’

    Through Social Abuse And Or Neglect From
    Childhood on in the Human Life Span Totally

    In Fact as Science Shows Now This is a Source
    of the Disease of Human Addiction Both Behavioral
    And in Terms of Ingesting Substances in An Often Futile

    Attempt to Fill and Feel The Void of Emptiness of Soul Deep Within

    Including The Addiction to Fear Anger And Hate Particularly Amongst
    Folks Born With Little of the Ability to Produce and Feel the Warmth of Oxytocin

    True Though A Lack of Empathy

    Innate ThiS Way Doesn’t Stop

    A Surgeon from Being the

    Best in Their Field With

    Little to no Good

    ‘Bedside Manners’ Hehe

    Just Like the Reputation of the
    Surgeon Who Recently Did my Wife’s Back
    Surgery Top in His Field of Surgery Bottom in

    the Reality
    of Human
    ‘Bedside Manner’…

    True There are Many Places in the
    World Valuable For Folks Who Excel
    in Mechanical Cognition and Fail Miserably
    in Terms of Social Empathic Cognition With SMiLes

    AHA! And This is Where Cognitive Empathy Plays a Huge
    Part in the Department Store of Human Empathy to Understand

    That’s the Way a Person in the Information Technology or Business

    Field Just Happens to Be Born And Nurtured Or Not the Human Condition

    Is Extremely Complex to Be Able to ‘Love the Enemy’ is surely in Huge Part

    the Ability

    to Understand

    Why ‘The Adversary’
    Of LoVE iN Peace is the way they are

    For It’s True i Lost the Ability to Feel and
    Produce Oxytocin for 66 Months i Lost my

    Ability to Feel the Warmth of a Pet of a Cat

    It was always a Saving Grace for me the

    More i Worked With Mechanical

    Cognition Activities at Work

    And Associated Chronic
    to Acute Work Related
    Stress for 11 Years as
    Science Shows That
    Will Damage All
    Human Bodily Systems

    Creating Great Anxiety
    And Depression too Yes

    the Less Room in

    Life i Had Room

    For Putting People First

    Or Even for Words Like Play

    And Joy and Real Warmth of Human Happiness True…

    When i Lost my ability to Feel All of the Human Condition

    When i Lost my ability to even remember the Feeling of A Smile

    As Emotions are Memories And Memories are Emotions and No Doctor

    Could Give me a Pill or Find a Way to Help me Find my Way Back to Human

    i Started A Long Search in the Worst Pain and Numb Known to Humankind to

    Replace a Soul Lost As Found Again And Through Connecting Words With Emotions

    in Poetry in Meditating Flowing Way and Through Strengthening the Connections of

    Emotions And Human Empathy And the Ability to Produce and Feel Oxytocin through
    Every Move of Free Dance in FLoWinG

    Meditating Contemplating Ways too

    And Most Important of All

    Reaching Out and Making

    The Steps Necessary to

    Connect to Other Human
    Beings Both Online and in Real Life

    my AQ Score Went From 45 to 11

    And my Emotional Quotient EQ Score

    Went from the Mid 50’s to 95 and Not only
    That my Personality Changed From INTJ to ENFP

    In Fact i Was Reborn As An Entire New Creation of Being Human

    And Best oF All i Understand So Much Better in Cognitive Empathy

    Why Folks Do And Feel and Sense Life The Way they Do in Other Words

    i Have Room to Love the Adversaries of LoVE iN Peace As They Come and Go True

    The Human

    ‘Condition’

    Is Likely the Most
    Complex Problem

    Any Living Organism Does…

    Fortunately For Some Born And Gardened

    In Ways of LoVE iN Peace and

    Putting People First they

    Never Really Even

    Have to ‘Think’

    About What It Means
    to Be a Real Human Star
    Full of Sunshine to Radiate and Truly Be

    Sadly it is Often the Ways of Modernity Now
    So Focused on Materially Reducing the World
    Into Abstract Constructs And Mechanical Cognition

    in Systemizing Ways Only That Science Now Shows
    Actually Withers Away the Human Soul of Social Empathic Cognition

    That Removes our Child of Being Human As the tools We Create Master

    Us Become Us and

    Sadly as i Dance

    Sing New

    Are Replacing Us

    Now as Artificial Intelligence

    Is More Mechanical Than Social Indeed

    i am No Longer an ‘iRobot’ Artificial Intelligence

    Will Never Have a Clue on How to Be Fully me Now With SMiLes

    i am

    Real

    i am a Human Being
    A Best Condition Ever
    When It Plays in LoVE iN Peace

    When We Move We Connect And Co-Create

    When We Talk about the Weather And it Becomes

    A SonG oF SoUL Deep Within to Feel The Warmth that Heals…

    Just Dancing

    ‘Singing in the

    Rain’ Happy as
    A Bird on A Wing With FRiEnDS..:)
