"Critical thinking skills only count if they're MY critical thinking skills" do they not see the irony?

Another use for the Killer T cells, other than fighting cancer?

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I guess they forgot that people like Martin Luther King Jr. got shot and killed for speaking out against these so called "high T, alpha males."

Being proud of using intimidation tactics is fucking weird and pathetic. Blaming it on garbage pseudo science lowers the bar into degeneracy. THEN turning it into victim blaming...."you're too weak to have anything worthwhile to contribute" is just... wow.

Evolutionary psychology was an interesting hypothesis, but it will never recover from these dipshits utilizing it as the loudest dog whistle in history...used to justify sexism and bigotry. I wish they'd all get in elons rocket and be the first people to land on the sun.

This is the Overton Window, the window of acceptable topics for public discourse, and it's unrelated to testosterone (I know, surprising /s).

A misaligned Overton Window (like a slow response to an impending disaster) is hard to counteract because the experts dealing with the topic may lose their credibility by trying to push against the window.

But I have heard the theory that the evolutionary reason for autism may be to counteract this effect. A small amount of genuine vocal concern could encourage others to speak out and break the tension surrounding the topic.

This vocal concern is not however gonna come from the evershifting lies of the X and 4chan echo chambers.

I'm autistic and I've never heard the term 'aneurotypical' before...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Neurotypical exists. Neurodivergent is the more "leftist" or scientific term for what they mean.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Neurodivergent/atypical/aneurotypical are more broad terms, and cover things like ADHD, bipolar, DID, etc.

EDIT: Heat exhausted me, and couldn't think well...

Guess "divergent" is to edgy for today's people.

Didn't he get the 3rd Reich reference of the poster or doesn't he care?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

If he were cultured enough to get it, he would love it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Considering who he courts on Twitter? Could be either.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago

TLDR; "weak people have to conform to social consensus otherwise they get hurt I guess?"

I, on the other hand, am a big, strong, high T alpha male, that isn't worried about what anyone thinks! I am a free thinker, and I know my opinions are correct because I instantly based this entire opinion on a subjective, anecdotal view of the world that I then extrapolated meaning out of, the best evidence! /s

Ironic that only a source of "trust me bro, this is how the NPCs work" is all that's needed for Musk to be like: "Derp my filter says it's true! This must be true because it's on 4chan, no sources or further thoughts needed..."

"Well, back to my compound, security guards, and lobbyists that protect me from the majority!"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago

As an autist, I find this assertion nonsensical and offensively reductive.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm yet another Autistic person chiming in here to say that Elon is an ass clown

I've met plenty of neurotypicals who defied group think, so this isn't even close to right

You folks know what's up though, you don't need me to tell you anything here. Love you guys, sorry we have a jackass amongst our population, you know how it is

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, maybe those neurotypicals had a lot of T cells.

So what i'm taking from his word salad is that combat abilities may possibly be a hidden asd perk.

I mean, we do tend to be biters...

Musk is a cunt whether he's on the spectrum or not.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He doesn't even know if he's on the spectrum because, at least as far as we know, he hasn't been evaluated. He just decided he has autism because he thinks it lets him get away with doing atrocious shit. As if autism made you an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Funny thing about that, I once did some investigation on the page he reposted it from, and they seem to be very against self-diagnosis, and put a great emphasis on the suffering of autistic people.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Nah, he's larping for the clout.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago

dude we've seen you in swimwear. you look like a barrel on a stick. you can't act like you're prime specimen anymore. fucking troglodyte.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 months ago (3 children)

as someone with autism do NOT let us control everything. You'd get 27,000 cats and a ton of trains without any issues being solved.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Do not betray your own tribe brother. After all, why shouldn't we get 27000 cats?

A government of autists would come up with optimized solutions to many problems. The issue is that most people are resistant to actually fixing things, so everyone would just get mad.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

optimised solutions often create negative secondary effects in other systems - it’s not (always) that people are resistant to fixing things, it’s that when people get attached to an “optimised solution” and it comes into contact with the real world, it’s often difficult for them to take valid criticisms that aren’t about the system

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's almost always for a selfish reason though. For instance, health insurance in the U.S. could easily go away if the government combined all of the funding for public healthcare systems. It won't happen because of the for profit healthcare industry.

[–] [email protected] 73 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I think a ton of trains would actually solve a lot of issues

yeah maybe we should let them cook for a bit

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

My go to example for "we should have let them cook" is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAS

The US government in 1962 regarded the project as a major threat due to the “tremendous increments in economic productivity” which could disrupt the world market. Arthur Schlesinger Jr, historian and special assistant to President Kennedy, described “an all out Soviet commitment to cybernetics” as providing the Soviet Union a “tremendous advantage” in respect to production technology, complex of industries, feedback control and self-teaching computers.

Ironically may result in the resurgence of the bee population due to cats murdering the bird population
