Because the same genes that cause autism enable the pattern seeking that is essential to our species' inventiveness.

What they don't realize - and what Daniel Hillis' short book brilliantly demonstrates - is that computers' seemingly complex operations can be broken down into a few simple parts that perform the same simple procedures over and over again. Computer wizard Hillis offers an easy-to-follow explanation of how data is processed that makes the operations of a computer seem as straightforward as those of a bicycle.

Some stories feel different. They don’t just entertain us. They pull at something deeper. Something we can’t quite name. They reflect our fears, our desires, and the patterns we don’t even realize we’re caught in. This isn’t about analyzing stories. It’s about stepping inside them. Through the lens of movies, music, and pop culture, we explore the hidden layers of meaning. The ones just beneath the surface, waiting to be seen. Not to explain. Not to tell you what they mean. But to hold up the mirror and let you see for yourself. Welcome to The Pattern Underground.

The Patterns and Possibilities podcast focuses on the patterns that reflect how we think, act, communicate, and interact with others and some are more systemic in nature. Sometimes the patterns are so deeply woven into the fabric of our lives that we don’t recognize the impact they have on us and the people we live, work, and engage with everyday. Using Human Systems Dynamics, Miss Handie connects through stories and impacts from patterned experiences. Bi-monthly episodes provide insights and approaches to help People Everywhere see, understand, influence and navigate life’s turbulence.
