There’s another phenomenon that interacts here - there is an observed higher prevalence of LGBTQ in autism (discussed here https://sparkforautism.org/discover_article/autism-lgbtq-identity/ and various research papers). Niche forums such as Lemmy, Fediverse, even Reddit all feel like they also have a higher autism spectrum prevalence than a general population. So I would guess there’s a double whammy on representation happening here - extra representation via safe space and shared interest on LGBTQ, extra representation ij autism spectrum, and an extra overlap between these two populations.

1·3 years agoThe article never said anything about dimensions we can’t perceive. It talked about non-locality, which is a property of many particles, not just dark matter. The entirety of quantum computing is based around quantum entanglement, for example, which is also a non-local phenomenon.
