"not performing normally"

2019-10-16 12:11:54 UTC  

No that's not dysfunctional

2019-10-16 12:11:59 UTC  

Norm, not norm, that's not what makes it so

2019-10-16 12:12:12 UTC  

Einstein wasn't normal, he was perfectly functional

2019-10-16 12:12:27 UTC  

it had a purpose though in times where malthusian traps were more relevant

2019-10-16 12:12:30 UTC  

i mean, arguably

2019-10-16 12:12:34 UTC  

it's just a hypothesis

2019-10-16 12:12:41 UTC  

https://www.dictionary.com/browse/dysfunctional

"not performing normally, as an organ or structure of the body; malfunctioning."

No drive to do the very normal thing of, reproducing.

2019-10-16 12:12:52 UTC  

So yes, dysfunctional.

2019-10-16 12:13:04 UTC  

A dysfunction is when a) the species or b) the individual breaks down because of it

2019-10-16 12:13:09 UTC  

Or both

2019-10-16 12:13:24 UTC  

The definition provided says otherwise

2019-10-16 12:13:31 UTC  

Though, agrees with B

2019-10-16 12:13:33 UTC  

To an extent

2019-10-16 12:13:49 UTC  

that definition is terrible

2019-10-16 12:13:54 UTC  

Homosexuality is an individual thing

2019-10-16 12:13:59 UTC  

I wonder, would the holocaust have happened if America had magically sided with Germany in ww1?

2019-10-16 12:14:16 UTC  

A working agreed-upon definition that more people use than yours.

2019-10-16 12:14:16 UTC  

If I perform 1000 times better than everyone else, then I don't perform normally either

2019-10-16 12:14:17 UTC  

Sorry.

2019-10-16 12:14:20 UTC  

Hell, if America and Germany won

2019-10-16 12:14:31 UTC  

It's still a shit definition

2019-10-16 12:14:37 UTC  

The ussr might not have happened 🤔

2019-10-16 12:14:40 UTC  

Disagree tbh

2019-10-16 12:14:47 UTC  

Ok then explain

2019-10-16 12:14:53 UTC  

If you can think 1000 times better than everyone else

2019-10-16 12:14:56 UTC  

Are you dysfunctional?

2019-10-16 12:15:05 UTC  

That definition covers a wider range of scenarios than yours does.

2019-10-16 12:15:10 UTC  

Idc

2019-10-16 12:15:12 UTC  

Like the one you're describing right now.

2019-10-16 12:15:15 UTC  

Answer the question

2019-10-16 12:15:17 UTC  

according to one alt history scenario if germany won then france and the uk would have become syndicalist :^)

2019-10-16 12:15:20 UTC  

That would make them not "normal".

2019-10-16 12:15:26 UTC  

Which fits my definition

2019-10-16 12:15:29 UTC  

It would not fit yours.

2019-10-16 12:15:31 UTC  

Does it makes them dysfunctional though?

2019-10-16 12:15:43 UTC  

"not performing normally"

2019-10-16 12:15:43 UTC  

Yes.

2019-10-16 12:15:50 UTC  

They're outside of the norm.

2019-10-16 12:15:53 UTC  

Is it dysfunctional to be able to think 1000 times better?

2019-10-16 12:15:54 UTC  

@Death in June you mean Kaiserreich I'm guessing?
