Eggs contain things that are required for producing and maintaining testosterone levels. It's not like they're a magic pill.

I compulsively look up the definitions of words all the time. It's just a thing I do.

Sounds a bit autistic to me

Whether paradoxes can or cannot exist, if you're using logic to justify either case, you're limiting reality to logic, which means your answer might not be true.

What makes you think that? What happens when you talk to a girl?

If you don't bother to look up the words, you're not very autistic. Add 5 points ?

This is the most insane Meshuggah song I've ever heard. It's quite literally insane.

See what more you want out of life.

Based, but many feminists are also based

The world won't suddenly go vegan. It would be a slow and gradual transition. A similar example would be when we went from using horses to cars. The population of horses was decimated, but not over night. Of course, this was a particularly big technological revolution, and the transition was rather fast, so it lead to an increase of horses being sent to slaughterhouses, but many were simply sold and repurposed and died due to more natural causes. Regardless, fewer horses were bred as the horse industry downscaled, and that would happen with the meat industry as well.

If I'm a genius and I'm thinking thoughts that nobody else is thinking, am I delusional? That is essentially what a classic hallucination is: seeing something that nobody else is seeing. As long as you're not mistaken about the nature of the thing, e.g. you're the only one who can see it and you're aware of this, it's not delusional. As for it being "real" or not, in this case, it's not real to other people, but so are many things. Of course, most people define "real" in a naive way, i.e. what most people in their tribe think is real ("consensus reality"), which at least for modern people tends to have materialistic connotations and tends to exclude hallucinations. So they will of course disagree that entities are real, unless many people start seeing them.

I'm a ?

Actions have consequences.

A guy called Timothy Leary. Not the sole reason, but he exemplified the first wave of naive and idealistic Green, which was not strategic, not systems-aware enough to foresee the pushback from the mainstream.

Oof close. Same. Being a bit sensitive can definitely make you a bit of an introvert.

So TikTok isn't exactly bringing anything new to the table, just bringing it to more people.

That is a bit different than understanding that reality is complex and that you can't model everything. Now you're questioning the very act of modelling itself, which is a dark road to go down. The truth is that some models are extremely effective at making predictions, and that doubting their reliability without a specific reason is completely irrational. Sure, if you one time actually experience the floor collapsing beneath you, then that will certainly throw you for a loop, but at least wait until something like that happens, or else you're opening Pandora's paranoia box.

Nobody below 22 yet? Cmon, I know there are autistic people on here

I was talking about the guy asking the question, Doshin.

I asked ChatGPT about some stuff (might be false information, take it with a grain of salt): So again, trait ≠ diagnosis.

@something_else Sure. People with autism can learn to be fairly functional socially through internalizing mechanical rules. It's generally just less reliable than having an intuitive understanding. As for identifying very subtle cues like eyes only, I'm not sure how far you can take it. Maybe Baron-Cohen has some info on that.

The paper I read on the autism-psychosis spectrum said that functioning diminishes at the extremes, so you would maybe expect a lower score in people who actually qualify for a psychosis diagnosis (as psychiatric diagnoses are generally about quantifying dysfunction). However, if we're limiting it to the "high-functioning" parts of the spectrum, I would say a higher score could indicate a higher propensity towards psychosis. But yes, you have to distinguish between autism/psychosis as a trait (something everybody has to varying degrees) and as a psychiatric diagnosis (a certain threshold of symptoms often associated with dysfunction).

Yet here we are.

When it comes to life, you don't have to know what you're doing. Just do something. That is also some of what makes it fun. You discover things along the way. If everything was laid out down to the smallest detail and you were running through it all like a movie script, would you even call it life then?
