>>15576
The don't even know how to smile like a normal person.

>>15577
They look like they are constipated.

>>15578
It is impossible for them to adequately connect a facial expression with a certain emotion. They're like shitty animatronic dolls that have exaggerated smiles and raised eyebrows.

>>15574
Only around 50% of autists have alexithymia. Furthermore, not being able to identify one's emotions is not at all the same as not having emotions at all. Lastly, as I said earlier, autists do understand other's emotions, even if they might have a harder time doing so than the average population. It' astounding how you lack the ability to formulate a valid argument, considering we're on a philosophy board.

>>15579
That's what happens when you have no real emotions.

>>15582
It's like they try to act emotions instead of feeling them.

>>15584
I think that the reason that autists are so socially awkward is because they're so alienated from themselves. They can't handle their own inner self and are unable to understand anything that has to do with the human condition.

>>15388
Same here. Science is the pacifier they need.

>>15591
you say that like science is some sort of impersonal toy

>>15592
Science is the only anchor that autists rely on. It's their crutch.

>Research scientists are under pressure to get published in the most prominent journals possible, and their chances increase considerably if they find positive (thus “impactful”) results. For journals, the appeal is clear, writes Philip Ball for Nautilus: they’ll make a bigger splash if they discover some new truth, rather than if they simply refuted old findings. The reality is that science rarely produces data so appealing.
> The quest for publication has led some scientists to manipulate data, analysis, and even their original hypotheses. In 2014, John Ioannidis, a Stanford professor conducting researching on research (or ‘meta-research’), found that across the scientific field, “many new proposed associations and/or effects are false or grossly exaggerated.” Ioannidis, who estimates that 85 percent of research resources are wasted, claims that the frequency of positive results well exceeds how often one should expect to find them

>Science is facing a "reproducibility crisis" where more than two-thirds of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist's experiments, research suggests.
>"It's worrying because replication is supposed to be a hallmark of scientific integrity,"

>>15596
Your opinion is only valid if the autistic scientist says so.

>>15597
lol this

>>15596
Idk man.
Alot of autists rely more on Sonic and MLP than actual science.

Most people, neurodivergent and neurotypical, look down on science as impersonal

>>15596
Alan Turing is a good example.

>>15600
The original computer autist.

>>15601
The first incel.

>>15599
Autists can only grasp the world through the lens of science.

>>15603
A psychopathic materialist.

>>15606
It wouldn't surprise me if the majority of mathematicians and physicists are autistic.

>>15612
You need to have some kind of spectrum disorder if you enjoy looking at zeros and ones on a computer screen all day.

>>15614
You should e glad to have tech devices you can spout your opinions on

>>15607
Unironic automaton.

>>15628
Without real experiences.

Autistic people are scary to me. They seem inhuman.

>>15645
Extreme egocentrism is what defines them.

>>15636
They have no inner depth.

>>15648
They are dead inside.

>>15649
Exactly. A mechanized human.

>>15650
A quite sterile approach to living.

>>15648
That's right. It's all shallow.

>>15651
No genuine happiness. Only parroting.

>>15653
That's because they can't relate to other humans other than superficially.

>>15655
It's delusional arrogance coupled with zero empathy.

That's always been the case their like ego incarnate a creature that does what it wants with no need to care for much else

>>15658
Like a cartoon villain.

>>15657
You rarely see autistic philanthropists.

>>15668
Because they're all bitter.

>>15661
More like a childish mental patient.

>>15672
Dead inside is a good description.

>>15676
Ravaged by nihilism.

>>15677
They're Max Stirner on steroids.

>>15675
lmao you're 100% right

>>15678
That says a lot since Max Stirner is the greatest fedora overlord.

>>15685
Anything that intrudes on absolute freedom is awful for autists.

>>15682
Agreed.

>>15687
I bet 99.99% of libertarians are autistic.

>>15689
I'd say 100%.

>>15677
idk i think cartoon villian is more accurate.

>>15606
Thats not such a bad thing.
