I really get pissed off about the sudden implication that Elizabeth Holmes didn't understand what she was doing was wrong. I haven't seen the documentary yet, so this is just a preimptive shot / baseless hot take.

Granted that I don't understand all neurodivergency, but I don't understand what sensory overload, delayed social processing, and high IQ has to do with deficienct moral reasoning? Like unless she was raised by her social group to succeed at all costs or else be a barely tolerated pariah?

O’Keeffe said, “One can’t paint New York as it is, but rather as it is felt.” This work came out of her late-night walks… (Georgia O’Keeffe, “New York Street with Moon,” 1925, oil on canvas, in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museu Nacional collection; www.museothyssen.org/en/collectio...)
