Neurotypical or NT, an abbreviation of neurologically typical, is a neologism widely used in the autistic community as a label for people who are not on the autism spectrum. In its original usage, it referred to anyone who is not autistic or a 'cousin' with an 'autistic-like' brain;[1] the term was later narrowed to refer to those with strictly typical neurology, that is, without a defined neurological difference. In other words, this refers to anyone who does not have any developmental disabilities such as autism, developmental coordination disorder, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADD). The term was later adopted by both the neurodiversity movement and the scientific community. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotypical

Bret Samuel Weinstein (born February 1969) is an American biologist and evolutionary theorist... Since the 1970s, Evergreen has held a "Day of Absence" event in which minority students, faculty, and staff are invited to absent themselves and meet off-campus for a day to demonstrate their importance to the community. This is followed by a "Day of Presence" with events and workshops open to all.[5][6] In 2017, the school instead asked white students and faculty to stay off the campus during Day of Absence and invite them to attend off-campus events.[5][7][8] In a letter to Evergreen faculty in March of 2017 Weinstein objected to the change, claiming that the event limited people's right to speak based on skin color. Weinstein said that although attending in activities associated with the Day of Absence were not mandatory, a white student who "violated" this request would be subject to charges of racism and therefore the event was forcing students to stay off campus based on their race.[7] The April 12 event was popular with students, with workshop attendance over the 200-person capacity. That month, one of Weinstein's emails on the matter to a colleague was leaked and widely shared among conservative media outlets such as Breitbart, and Heat Street, which prompted threats and harassment towards school officials. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Weinstein

The Ferguson unrest involved protests and riots that began the day after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson on August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri. The unrest sparked a vigorous debate in the United States about the relationship between law enforcement officers and African Americans, the militarization of police, and the use-of-force law in Missouri and nationwide. Continued activism expanded the issues to include modern-day debtors prisons,[9] for-profit policing,[10] and school segregation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_unrest (more)

Reality Leigh Winner (born December 4, 1991)[5] is a former American intelligence specialist.

Today, we’re on the verge of launching The Correspondent, bringing unbreaking news to the United States and beyond. (more)

A voting machine is a machine used to register and tabulate votes. The first voting machines were mechanical but it is increasingly more common to use electronic voting machines.

Universal Darwinism (also known as generalized Darwinism, universal selection theory,[1] or Darwinian metaphysics)[2][3][4] refers to a variety of approaches that extend the theory of Darwinism beyond its original domain of biological evolution on Earth. Universal Darwinism aims to formulate a generalized version of the mechanisms of variation, selection and heredity proposed by Charles Darwin, so that they can apply to explain evolution in a wide variety of other domains, including psychology, economics, culture, medicine, computer science and physics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Darwinism

The term global village represents the simplifying of the whole world into one village through the use of electronic media. Global village is also a term to express the constituting relationship between economics and other social sciences throughout the world. The term was coined by Canadian media theorist, Marshall McLuhan,[1] and popularized in his books The Gutenberg Galaxy: The Making of Typographic Man (1962) and Understanding Media (1964) McLuhan changed the way the world thought about media and technology ever since his use of the word in his book [2]. McLuhan described how electric technology has contracted the globe into a village[3] because of the instantaneous movement of information from every quarter to every point at the same time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_village (more)
