What do you believe would happen to a neurotypical forced to have self-awareness and a more accurate model of reality in general?
The idea that they become allistic neurodivergents like me is, of course, a suspicious conclusion, but I’m not sure I see a credible alternative. CEV seems like an inherently neurodivergent idea, in the sense that forcing people (or their extrapolated selves) to engage in analysis is baked into the concept.
I often honestly struggle to see neurotypicals as sane, but I’m hideously misanthropic at times. The problem is, I became the way I am through a combination of childhood trauma and teenage occultism (together with a tendency to be critical of everything), which is a combination that most people don’t have and possibly shouldn’t have; I don’t know how to port my natural appetite for rationality to a “normal” brain.
