I agree. I remember at the time of Brexit surveys showed that people with a University education were more likely to be remainers. Wondering why, I guessed it was down to training in "critical thinking".

I've heard it said that recognition of "neurodiversity" is the last great social movement of the 20th century. The problem is that our current education system is predicated on being "normal" whereas people are actually infinitely diverse.

You're welcome. Thanks for the link. Humanity Project looks interesting. I notice in the map there is something in Preston, where I live. I'm very keen on the idea of Neighbourhood Assemblies. Wishing you well... your garden looks good.
