Elizabeth Tai | 戴秀铃 🇲🇾<p>David's article really resonated with me because I've been thinking for a long while now to create a newsletter (or three) to surface barely heard voices. </p><p>On Substack, for example, the voices I hear are overwhelmingly from the United States, and it is incredibly hard to find voices from Asia and South-East Asia. It's a source of huge frustration for me because the most common narratives about my part of the world is from the United States, and a lot of times these narratives are distorted, skewed to American values and is not what is really happening in my region. Yet, when I try to speak up on Substack, I never get seen as the algorithm is prioritising US voices and Substacks. Worse, they are also boosting only popular ones, which means the most popular narrative is the loudest. </p><p>I have occasionally shared links to South-East Asian Substacks and blogs, and each time I do, I get messages of gratitude. However, I still wondered if my tiny act of rebellion would do anything to move the needle in terms of being heard in an English-speaking Internet overwhelmed by Western voices and narratives. </p><p>David's post reminded me that yes, I should put in some effort to help surface more unknown corners of the Internet. Maybe we won't get rid of the algorithmic complacency sweeping society now, but at least we'll do some tiny thing to help create a messy but human algorithm instead.</p><p><a href="https://www.raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-surf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">raptitude.com/2025/06/how-to-s</span><span class="invisible">urf-the-web-in-2025-and-why-you-should/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Internet</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMedia</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Algorithms</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndieWeb</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tech</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blogging</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blogs</span></a></p>

Lorry<p>I was informally (mis)diagnosed as "probably psychopathic" by my supervisor when I did my Social Psychology postgraduate at the University of Leicester psychiatric teaching hospital back in 1989. Now I realise that I was really diagnosed with adult autism by a psychologist who didn't have the tools to differentiate.</p><p>It's interesting because it started me on my path to computerising the psychiatric investigation part of the DSM (well, initially Hare PCL) evaluation for my Master's degree. The psychometric question-and-answer model and demo I came up with had me firmly psychopathic in PCL's diagnostic terms, whereas these days it would be easily diagnosed as autism.</p><p>I went on to expand the idea from psychometrics, to behaviour analysis in virtual worlds, which I figured would be a better capture than psychometric questions - Would the person co-operate to attain a goal, would they show altruism, would they be quick to anger - There's a lot you can measure in the virtual world as we know very well now, but didn't in 1991. Sadly, the lack of modern technology and the need to feed myself brought this PhD to an end without a write-up - But it's no wonder I ended up working for OkCupid, I guess :D</p><p>The sad thing about that is that although it didn't impact my life at all, other than having an interesting topic to discuss at parties, the PCL is used as a tool by US prisons in their parole calculations. A PCL diagnosis is a heavy weighting against parole, even though Hare himself has said that isn't the way this should be used. I dread to think how many autistic people are stuck in prisons for evermore because of misdiagnosed psychopathy.</p><p>The psychopathy test puts a lot more emphasis on masking and social interactions than on kidnapping people and putting them in wells to skin them later, I feel.</p><p>I can't be bothered to write a blog post about this, so I will scream into the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Void" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Void</span></a> instead -
