The secret of Secrets, Dan Brown, GABA, Neurodivergents and so much more :)

Greetings Friends! In this episode we explore the intersection of neurodivergence, airport thriller literature :), and the human experience.

We start with Dan Brown's 'The Secret of Secrets', the evolution of language surrounding neurodivergence, and the importance of storytelling in society.

And we wouldnt be FRT if we would not go down one or the other rabbit hole :) So we delve into themes of consciousness, creativity, and the role of art in addressing complex topics such as death and personal growth.

Through our discussion we highlight the significance of individual interpretation, the power of creative expression in shaping perspectives and how we add stuff to the things we read, watch and listen to.

And we look into GABA - the aminoacid that makes us calm AND lets our life rush in front of our lifes in near death experiences
