Autism, Neurodiversity, and the Evolution of Humanity For much of modern history, autism has been framed almost exclusively through a medical lens. It has been described as a disorder to be treated, managed, or corrected—a deviation from a presumed neurological norm. While medical support and accommodations are essential for many autistic individuals, this framing alone is incomplete. Increasingly, researchers, advocates, and evolutionary thinkers argue that autism may also represent a different way of being human—one that reflects humanity’s long-standing reliance on cognitive diversity for survival, adaptation, and progress. Rather than viewing autism solely as a deficit, it may be more accurate—and more humane—to understand it as part of the broader spectrum of human neurodiversity. Human societies have never advanced through uniform thinking. They have advanced through variation: different minds noticing different patterns, solving problems in unconventional ways, and seeing poss...

When Charlie Kirk was shot at Utah Valley University, it wasn’t just the tragedy of a political killing that shocked people—it also raised a question that many of us quietly fear: How does someone end up doing something so extreme?

truality.mental How Putting Pen to Paper Enhances Memory and Mental Health Learning Through Writing: A Personal Foundation Learning complex subjects like law demanded a rigorous approach to memory and understanding. When I first started studying law, the unfamiliar terminology felt daunting; I rarely encountered words that I already knew. I made it a habit to write everything down—words, passages, and ideas I encountered in my readings. If a word was unknown or its meaning unclear, I would research and write down the most popular or precise definitions. This process of writing and rewriting, paired with active review, gradually enhanced my memory and comprehension. I noticed that writing things down was more than just recording information—it was a cognitive exercise that made learning stick. The Neuroscience Behind Handwriting and Memory What underpins this effect is a well-documented principle in neuroscience: writing by hand engages multiple brain regions that support memory, ...

Law, Logic, and Common Sense: Lessons That Reach Beyond the Courtroom First Impressions of the Law When I first started learning about law, I expected it to be dominated by rigid rules, endless regulations, and dense jargon understood only by professionals. I assumed it would feel distant from everyday life—technical, procedural, and abstract. What surprised me most, and what stayed with me, was how deeply human the foundation of law actually is. Beneath the language and structure, law is built on logic and common sense. That realization changed how I approached learning the subject. Instead of treating law as something foreign, I began to see it as a formalized version of reasoning we already use in daily life. The complexity wasn’t there to obscure meaning, but to create consistency and fairness. Once that clicked, the subject became less intimidating and far more practical. Law as an Organized System of Logic At its core, law is a system of logic designed to solve disputes and ...
