But when you wake up, you’re in a random spot in the wilderness. Every time.

Short-sighted is right. What happens when the “billions” invested in the latest tech-bro scheme become worthless due to the inflation caused by building the economy on digital hot air? Whatever happened to making quality products that people actually want and selling them at a reasonable (or at least justifiable) price? That’s why despite all of the enthusiasm and promise of cryptocurrency it is bound to fail as well – it’s not real. I guess if the whole world enters the Matrix then the idea of a digitally bound utopia will pay off (at least, for the technocrats).

Maybe they shouldn’t have forcefully injected “artificial intelligence” into everything? It seems like all these tech companies got high on their own hype. What happened to old-fashioned business sense?

I have a child clearly on the spectrum as well. One thing that is helping is to teach some sort of grounding technique like taking a big breath and releasing it a few times. It gives them something to focus on that they can control. Then after the initial overwhelm of emotions subsides they can decide how to deal with the situation (asking for help, communicating their frustration, etc) without exploding. As they get older we’ll probably work on specific phrases they can use to let others know, as politely as possible, that they need a minute to get their bearings.
