Obsession makes you do crazy shit, when just thinking about something a lot only makes you say crazy shit sometimes.
I was just commenting in the Nazi Autism post when I come and see this one, and it makes me think that, when it comes to Bob Dylan, Althouse might be a bit on the spectrum, too.
Because I don't think she's obsessed with him, but she sure seems to think of him a lot, in a lot of the things she thinks about. Some people might not see a difference, but I do: obsession makes you do crazy shit, when just thinking about something a lot only makes you say crazy shit sometimes.
I don't mind Dylan, but he can be hard to listen to. I don't mean his voice: it's weird, but I'm okay with weird, I like Scooby-Doo's voice, too, so whatever. It's just that his words rhyme a lot, which I like, but they don't make any fucking sense, which then makes me uncomfortable listening to it.
And people insist that it all means something, but when they try to explain it they don't make any sense, either. Or at least that I can tell. If a chrome siamese horse-cat means something maybe just say what you think it means, rather than going on about a chrome siamese horse-cat, you know?
And if I ask the question 'What's blowing in the wind?' you shouldn't just say 'The answer is blowing in the wind.' That's not an answer, that's some Chinese Ninja riddle. And I like Chinese Ninja movies, because I like the bloody sword-fights and throwing stars and shit, but I don't like riddles. The whole purpose of a riddle is to fuck with you, as far as I can tell, and I don't get why people would want to be fucked with like that.
I mean, 'Everyone must get stoned': I get that. But the sun's not yellow, it's chicken? Is that supposed to mean something? If being normal means that would make sense to me than I truly have no fucking idea what normal even means.
But I think this all makes sense to Althouse, and -- when you are on the spectrum -- some things make sense to you in a way no one else seems to see. So I can see that. I bet a lot of lawyers and judges might be on the spectrum a little bit, too, because they can make all kinds of intricate arguments about something yet still not know if it is right or wrong. And I can see that, too.
Like I said: sometimes I truly have no fucking idea what normal even means.
