Great minds are not like average.

Great minds are not like average. They don't think like the average person. But is there an average person? People have different skills, they think in different ways because of their own backgrounds. And because we surround ourselves with people who are similar to us, we can believe that even the little group where we are represents the majority. We meet only people who are similar to us. That causes segregation. That is a lack of ideas. 

That means we should tolerate more different kinds of people. Neurodiversity brings ideas and other kinds of things into a working society. The idea of neurodiversity is that there are not always similar people. We see neurodiversity all the time. We all have different favorite foods. We all like different music and movies. We like different cars, and we behave differently. 

The diversity of people and their behavior guarantees that the human race survives anyway. Because some people think that some food has bad taste, that means the person will not eat that food. But some other people eat and like those foods. That guarantees that all people don't eat the same thing. 

We search different nutrient sources. Because we like different nutrients. 

So if there comes some infection in some crops. That doesn't destroy all crops. The other crop species will survive. 

The nervous system makes us taste differently. The neurons dominate our behavior and everything that we do. 

A human is a creature that lives in groups or packs. 

The human nature has one weakness. When we follow our leaders we forget one thing. 

Sometimes we face writings that exhort us to leave thinking to superiority. 

We all have responsibility for our acts. Even if we wait for the leaders to solve our climate problems, we still can make ecological solutions and sort our waste. 

Presidents will not come to sort our waste for us. 

We need to please authority. We have a need to please leaders. That need formed in history because we think that leaders are stronger than we are. Leaders accept other people into the group. And that gives our ancestors a better chance to survive. That formed behavior that we gladly join to group of people who are similar to us. 

That is a great weakness in some groups. People surround themselves with similar people that they are. And that can cause a big weakness in society. That can cause a lack of diversity in innovation especially in creative work. 

The lack of diversity means a lack of opposite opinions. 

In some cases the lack of diversity. Or diversity-resistant way of thinking causes situations in diversity and neurodiversity turns those things into diseases in the eyes of some people. 

That causes ideas that things, like GULAG: Stalin's hard labor organization to be introduced as therapy. The idea was that GULAG destroyed diversity in Soviet society. 

It was the cure for the disease. Because in that ideology the people who resist the system are crazy. So the cure was hard labor that "encouraged" people to change to the part of the system. 

Then those hard labor systems turned into the medical systems. And people believed that little medical capsules gave cures for people. They turned different people similar to authority. 

We can say sarcastically that today Albert Einstein would be an ADHD patient. 

The idea is that people like Stalin believed that different people just wait for change to become like he was. They just wait to become a member or part of the Soviet machine. 

And that means that. People like Stalin believe divergent things in their personality must be removed. Still today some parts of psychiatric medical treatment are justified in that it's easier to be similar to everybody else.  

Or those "different people" should be locked in mental hospitals. That is the solution for family quarrels and teenage rebellions. 

And that causes TV shows and other things that are full of stereotypical models. The purpose of those series and films is to confess that people do the right things when they take some ADHD patient to an institute or mental hospital. 

And in the worst cases, the henchmen will just repeat their leader's words. There is one example of this kind of case. That is the example case. 

Where the building company plans to start the site on polluted ground.

 Maybe somebody knows. The area where the building site will be made is polluted. But they didn't open their mouth. 

Because they were afraid of their leader. And that can cause very big losses. 

That kind of case forms when people think that a leader doesn't need their advice. Maybe the pollution is not their fault and they must not pay for that cleaning.

However, that cleaning process affects the main building company and its subcontractor's schedules. When we think about people like juridical advisors, and technical advisors in enterprise-class companies. Those people are highly trained professionals. Their mission is to bring problems to the leader's knowledge. 

And their mission is to solve those problems. But when we think about neurodiversity and people's behavior, we face a problem. The working communities are sometimes so homogenous that they lose their innovations. We can say that some of those working environments cheer the model where people sit in their boxes and don't develop their skills. Being in the box seems a very effective way to make work. 

But the problem is that those people are easy to replace. They make only one work and then. On some days leaders think that they will buy some new system. It's easier and cheaper to hire new workers than train the old ones.
