In this episode of the Gifted Neurodivergent Podcast, the focus is on the myth of Cassandra of Troy and the societal dynamics that led to her downfall and the collapse of Troy. Cassandra, who could see the future with perfect accuracy, was ostracized because her dire predictions clashed with the self-serving perspectives of those in power, particularly her father, King Priam. The analysis delves into the neurological and psychological contrasts between Cassandra's multidimensional thinking and the two-dimensional, hierarchical thinking promoted by Troy's leadership. The discussion highlights how societies systematically suppress and marginalize individuals with unique insights, ultimately leading to their downfall. The pattern of dismissing truth-tellers like Cassandra is shown to be a recurring theme throughout history and cultures.
