To Prometheus18: I am curious about your username. If you feel inclined to tell us about it, what does the ancient Greek Titan Prometheus mean to you personally?
I offer people knowledge in the form of disabusing them of their illusions about the world - and am shunned for it. I'm also fascinated by the number nine and multiples thereof.
I was curious because, even before I came to Wrong Planet, I had come to see the Prometheus myths as a metaphor for the more highly talented autistic people generally
: able to give a lot of new knowledge to the world, but, all too often, prevented from doing so by living in a world that is not autistic-friendly.
