@ellereeve when you get laid off you can come live with me girl

Yee yee

Autism can literally be a memetic superpower

^ this unironically

I like the folks tbh, smart people when you really talk to them

Plus many are /our guys/

autism actually correlates with low IQ

That or theyre trannies

it's a myth that high IQ people are more autistic

@Perihelion - CA yeah there's a darker Avenue you can go down too lol

People sometimes get neurotic and autistic mixed up

^hmm good point

Autism spectrum disorder is kinda just a made up bucket of symptoms many of which correspond to introversion

WE WANT :honk:

People conflate autism with savantism

Autistic is the guy from 4 chan educating you on something obscure. Neurotic is your ex gf.

:honk:

@ophiuchus yeah there are definitely types of autism that are absolutely debilitating. Not all are blessed with the Savant nature

actual diagnosed autism correlates with low IQ

Lol well smart people tend to be more neurotic is what i mean

Neurotic is the 4chan shill from the adl

Autism is non-verbal screeching because you set down the trash can lid too hard

:yeet:

yee yee 🤠

Pretty sure there is good evidence that autism is an extreme male brain. Ol Sasha Baron Cohen's cousin is a pretty famous psychologist who has done work on it

I wish we had a "this tbh" reaction for agreement

Autistic people, even girls, tend to have hyper masculine facial features

But pointing works

Check out @deltoscano’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/deltoscano/status/1098361884913385477?s=09

Aspergers is basically an inability to handle your emotions

@Andrew-KY I've actually heard that it has to do with too much testosterone which is why it's predominantly diagnosed in males.

I'm not sure if that's true though

Introversion is actually heightened sensitivity. At far end you have screeching at noise. As an introvert put me in a party and overstimulate me and i understand the need to screech loudly.

“I feel slightly sad, I’m going to completely overreact”

@ophiuchus oh shit Courtney?

also, a lot of people don't understand what correlations are

Too much testosterone would cause both a hyper masculine brain and facial features @Jordan - MD

Wew

I knew an autistic with a pituitary problem so he was like six foot eight

My aunt had two children- one non-verbal autistic child who’s in a group home, one aspergers kid who gets autism bucks

>I cant tell my feelings apart so i only experience one
>F

So, some people take the myth to the other extreme. Just because autism correlates with low IQ doesn't mean *all* autistic people are dumb. There was this guy at work who I called autistic, and my manager and a shift leader were like, "he's actually really smart". Like, okay, but I didn't say he was dumb, I said he was autistic.

My only emotion is 🇫

F

F

And, no, I didn't say it to his face, it was in private. I genuinely think the guy was on the spectrum, I wasn't just being a dick.

I’m pretty sure the invention of the hyperlink made everyone under 30 have terminal ADHD

Autism is correlated with high intelligence

I believe you’re thinking of Down syndrome

“What about this” x 9000000000

No, that's a myth, autism is correlated with low intelligence

let me look it up

NAXALT

Yeah downs syndrome is definitely not correlated with high intelligence lol

generic comment of no value

Asperger's high iq, autism low

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21272389

Asperger's is no longer considered autism

yep it correlates with low IQ

Down’s syndrome is completely different. There are serious physiologic changes with downs.

They don’t live to be very old

I had no idea that Asperger's was divorced from autism

Do autists live to be old? I heard that IQ actually correlates with lifespan.

Theyre just buckets of symptoms that show up together. They have no underlying causal theory

The latest DSM tightened up the reqs for autism diagnosis, so aspies aren't autists officially

IQ correlates to being based and redpilled.

It does, but only because high IQ people tend to take better care of themselves

@Jacob that's actually a good question, most of the autistic folks that I've known in my day have other underlying health issues that would prevent them from living a long life. But that doesn't mean all of them do that's just an anecdotal experience

Or low iq people die off

oh ya that's another thing
"autism" just refers to described behaviors
it's not really an *actual* condition @Perihelion - CA

And make more money for better treatments

Saying that you behaved a certain way because of your autism is a tautology

True

Has Down syndrome always existed or is it a new thing?

Most modern psychology is tautology

Well, that doesn't mean it isn't useful

Always, they just used to be left in the woods

@Jacob I just learned a new word

Describing behaviors can still be useful

You can see downies in ancient and medieval art

@Jordan - MD Did you have to look it up or was it obvious from context?

They tend to be sweathearts so people liked them

I looked it up.

Normally I would say redundant. But that's a really cool way to phrase it

ya, I guess that kinda means the same thing

"tautology" is the first word to come to mind, I wasn't trying to sound big brained or anything

Downs has a recognized cause, afaik autism and aspergers are kind of “idk lol”

I love our vocabulary. We shouldn't be ashamed of that

Downs is a doubling of a chromosome

People say big brained like it's a bad thing

They have more genetic code than us

Downie master race

Well, I do think there's a such thing as being needlessly articulate

They have 3 of chromosome 21 instead of 2

TFW downies are the next step in evolution

You can definitely overwrite

Just remember your audience

More = better, always

13 chromosome do 50 bad

@Jacob that's true, although most of the time I use larger words to shorten a sentence. I feel like as long as you know the definition it's actually easier to read

My life would be so much better if my IQ were 60

4 chromosome 21 is too powrful for this dimension

Truly the next evolutionary step

Ignorance is bliss

They go super sayan in womb

Lol

Welfare and a trailer park ftw

I mean, using “pulchritude” instead of “beauty” just makes you sound oof

big oof

@ophiuchus yeah that would be a bit unnecessary lol

I wish happiness was a simple as Copenhagen snuff and a couch on the lawn

Pontificate on this: whatever

If you dont speak in ancient greek youre a pleb

@John O - I've actually thought of that, whether I'd be happier with a low IQ. I concluded that I probably wouldn't be, because with a lower IQ you're more likely to do dumb things that come back to screw you over.

Yeah, but you don't care

But you wouldn’t réalisé the cause was you being a dumbass so it doesn’t matter

God

I don't know if that's true

French autocorrect

@John O - that's true you'd be too stupid to self-reflect

Idk how I did it but my keyboard is English but the autocorrect is French

Yesterday I was sleep deprived, which made me feel like I just dropped 30 IQ points. It definitely made me less happy that I had to think so hard about everything.

Intelligent people tend to be less happy. Yet people would never choose to be dumb. Plato used this to prove wisdom was better than happiness.

Merci beaucoup

>prove

I have pretty bad anxiety, but I don't think it's an IQ related thing

Its related

Yep

Not causal

Though I imagine if you had a high IQ you'd worry more about stuff

Yeah probably related

Smart /= wise

Plato confirmed dumbass

Tru

I must be low IQ, brave, and stunning.

I have other reasons in my life that probably cause anxiety and have nothing to do with IQ

Plato’s metaphysics are cool but other than that he rarted

>rarted
Gotem

Plato btfo

Rarted lol

Plato will never recover.

EVER

F

Diogenes is the best philosopher

If he was so smart why he ded

The virgin Platonic Theologians vs the chad Aristotelian Muslim intellectuals

We wuz philosophers n sheeit

Ive got a bad taste in my mouth about Diogenes because of all the people ive known who like him. Always pretentious nihilists

Just submitted my resignation for a dead end job and signed a contract for a new much better and compelling full time job in my chosen field. Things are going well Evropans <:whitepill:439924104406106113>

Diogenes was a dumbass, unironically

If you don’t keep a copy of Hegel’s Phenomenology of spirit by your desk to swat the cat away what are you doing

Muslim philosophy culminated with them disproving causality. Then the huns killed them all

Guess causality won

@VinceChaos congratulations!

Diogenes was probably a schizophrenic

You know who else is dead? John McCain, and he claimed he was pro-life. Another politician backing down on promises.

"Behold, a man!"

Stunning and brave

@ophiuchus this

@VinceChaos damn I wish I could submit my resignation from clown world

“Haha he said funny stuff lole”

He also masturbated in public and lived in a Barrel

@Jordan - MD thanks. Hope to meet you once you’re a full member. I’m in the dc area

@VinceChaos hell yeah man. Im about to do an inter company transfer to dayshift after 4 years on nights. Im stoked

Dude was just ye olde Brooklyn subway denizen

Oh sweet!

Dog philospher was just uncle Ted in 300bc

to be clear, I wasn't *actually* saying he was the best philosopher, it was just a joke
just making sure you guys don't think I'm crazy

Aquaduct tech was ruining human society

@Perihelion - CA who dat

Diogenes = 300bc Unabomber

Oh

unaboomer

We all know the best philosophers were Celts

Based and tedpilled

Antisthenes or something?

@Jordan - MD mother of pearl 4 years night shift...my mother did that for 2 years I believe. I worked night stocker at a grocery. Take your sleep back

I forget, the dude that founded the cynics

Hey now, Stranglehold is a bad ass song

How original do you have to be to count as a philosopher?

I'm the cutoff

The best philospher was Goethe and Sorrows of Young Wurther is pinnacle of evropean achievment.

@VinceChaos wow. I work second shift right now which is 2 to 11. Its a weird life

My IQ is supposedly 128, can I be a philosopher?

As long as you have footnotes

best philosopher is obviously Jordan B Peterson, guys

Clean your room bucko

No. You can however be an accountant or overeducated barrista

Jordan Peterson is unironically like Scientology

Psychologist /=/ philosopher

Destroy the dragon of entropy by taking out the trash

Oh no I've got to go clean my pene'us

Wash your 🅱enis racist

12 rules for life had some decent stuff in it. I think he might be controlled op though. Or just kinda stupid

Jordan is good if youre a neckbeard tranny with no dad. Like hes a step in the right direction for that guy.

Hes just a Boomer who doesn't realize why nobody's happy

I cant fathom people who accept race realism then dont go alt right

He’s Canadian

There’s your problem

Hes more focused on the individual rather than a collective people

My roommate still loves him. I can’t really fault him for the 12 rules stuff but a lot is common sense. His dad is a piece of shit so it’s good to hear it from others

I've listened to some JBP lectures, he's no dummy

This is how Scientology reels people in. They give advice that is actually pretty good, but it's totally unoriginal and pretty common sense. People take it and think "wow changed my life!" and they start listening to all the wacky stuff.

Literally same thing Jordan Peterson does.

See?

Except Jews and Indians @Jordan - MD lol

Scientology probably genuinely does improve people's lives in the early stages

{{{Canadians}}}

But that's only because they tell you shit that any therapist could have told you

Same thing as Jordan Peterson. He just gives captain obvious advice.

True that

JBP is an academic first and foremost

His stuff on origins of mythology from evolution is great. Thats his field. His life advice is boomer dad tier.

ya, exactly

Love him or hate him he’s a memeable guy

Having a messy room probably genuinely does screw up your productivity, and people who just realized that probably genuinely do see an improvement in life. The thing is, I could have told you that when I was 14.

Jordan Peterson thinks it's better to be the best player on the team, rather than the best team in the league.

That's the issue

hes a gommunist with a lenin painting in his study

Oh I like that Jordan

eh maybe it's a cool painting

Can we get an X-Files react pls

I have a hat from China

doesn't mean I'm China

Jussie Smollett was just indicted on felony charges

based

Somewhere I have a chairman mao medal with my name engraved on it

His parents should be indicted on charges of naming their kid "Juicy"

Can’t imagine being libtarded rn

creepy AF tbh

Soviet propaganda *is* pretty dope

@Jacob his real name is Justin. Jussie is his gay black artist stage name

I sat through a class on 毛泽东思想 in Beijing

soviet space/athletic propaganda is chad, yes

“Chairman Mao Thought”

My friend was telling me that IE should unironically do Soviet style posters. I would agree, but that style is probably tarnished in the US.

It’s a compulsory subject there

Don’t you mean Jvssie

someday kids are gonna have to sit through classes on Patrick Casey Thought

Why you soviet-style posters when we could do 1950s Style American posters

@VinceChaos Sorry I forgot to rip the U off of my keyboard

@Perihelion - CA this

@Perihelion - CA this, we have our own style

1950s ghey

@Perihelion - CA Because they're really cool looking and inspirational. But, like I said, the reputation is kinda tarnished, so we probably shouldn't do them.

@missliterallywho no

U

If I could draw or use photoshop I’d make that a meme rn

Roasted

Feels good man

Dior p cool tho

lmao

Clean your keyboard
