Is Anyone Here 100% Or Close To 100% Autistic?

Post Reply New Topic

That's not convincing as long you are the only person providing any input into the criteria for what makes an exceptional human, which so far has been exclusively the stuff you say you are great at. For a person who claims to have superior logic abilities you keep repeating a very basic error in inductive reasoning called confirmation bias - the tendency to interpret any new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.

So long as you define:
Superiority = all the stuff I'm personally great at and none of the stuff I'm rubbish at, then there will always be a confirmation bias error.

So, unless you are willing to be more accountable in your definition of exceptionality, then I don't trust your logic and am getting bored with the cyclical egocentric discussion.

I've started another thread called "What makes an exceptional human?"

You view point is most welcome in the discussion.

I said the test you first mentioned was a particularly bad test. The 3 tests I posted are much better than that ,for those who don't have a spiky profile . That Wechsler test may or may not be inaccurate. If inaccurate ,ie inflating our scores, it would apply to both of us .

As for motor speed . Mine isn't so good either .

The OP’s sole basis for believing he’s a “human 2.0” is the “fact” that he primarily uses the “neocortex”; whereas regular people apparently don’t. He, allegedly, only thinks “logically,” like he is a Vulcan.

He hasn’t presented us with any tangible deeds which would imbue him with “greatness.” Like finding a cure for cancer, creating an original and creative work of art, designing a levee which would prevent floods that other levees were unable to prevent, providing a permanent home for a homeless person. Things of that ilk.

^ How does anyone know for certain they primarily use the "neocortex" ?!

There's also that he says his greatness stems entirely from his autism. Yet he has listed numerous attributes of his greatness that are not autism related. But WP has had others drop by who basically did the same thing. Put a bunch of stuff together that is not related to autism and then add all that up to conclude that it is all autism related and therefore autism makes them superior.

The reason why they do this I think is so that they can view themselves as basically being a separate being from the rest of society ie "NTs". They can only maintain that illusion by deciding that every last aspect of themselves is non-NT related. In other words they are 100% pure non-NT. Which makes them 100% separate and therefore 100% superior.

The Vulcan analogy fits because I have seen a lot of aspies go on about NTs as if they were Vulcans vs Humans.

Now...if the guy could join us who are mere Human 1.0, and debate things on the merits—maybe he can find a place on WP, so he can alleviate his loneliness.

Feelings of superiority often emanate from feelings of inferiority.

Maybe Ruth Nass was able to determine that He primarily uses His neocortex from asking Him some questions. It's too bad she didn't delve further. she could have written a book about Him.

Or maybe the OP got the idea from reading science fiction.

I saw the tests that you posted. I haven't had the chance to try them out yet. You should at least wait untill I take a test that we all agree is accurate before moving in for the kill. If you truly want to shoot My claim down, assuming that's even possible, you're going to need logic, not emotions. I don't speak NT language, remember, I'm nearly 100% autistic. So let's wait untill there's some evidence that is valid in everyone's mind first. Then you may attack.

It seems to me you illogically put down anything that disputes your claim of being the smartest person on the planet as being due to emotions . There's a complete lack of insight as to how what you are claiming is in fact total bunkum . You see 'attack' while truly intelligent people would see an attempt to steer you away from faulty thinking .

As for your claims of being 100% autistic; that's something you keep saying without offering anything to support that claim . It's very much a case of "I've said it,so you must all believe me" .

Yes, I suppose lt is quite easy to claim something when you refuse to look at the contrary evidence. In other words: read My other replies before you say something unfounded.

Close, but lt's not because I use My neocortex. Many people who aren't great do. It's about how much I use lt. 1% neocortex usage does not equal human 2.0. It must be at least 50%, which is quite rare. So no, I'm not saying that NT's never use the neocortex. Some don't, while the rest use lt so little that lt's barely worth counting. But for the sake of transparency, every mammal who doesn't have a condition preventing lt, uses their neocortex to some degree. We're all neurologically capable of greatness, unlike lesser evolved life forms. However, only a very small percentage take advantage of this resource enough to qualify for greatness. That's just facts. I don't think anybody disagrees with the assessment that most people are awful. There is a reason for that: neurotypicality.

I hate to make blanket statements, but the probability here is very high. Most NT's are terrible people. It doesn't take a mathematician to realize that since most people are terrible & most people are neurotypical, most NT's are thereby terrible. Some are just bad, others decent, some may even be good. Neurotypicals are not born evil. Studies show that all humans are innately good from birth. It is society that turns people evil & NT's are significantly more likely than autists to be manipulated & corrupted. That is the major disparity. Neurotypicals versus autists is another false dichotomy. We're often too' busy fighting each other to realize that neither side is the enemy. We're being played by the Dark Triad. Divide & conquer. These are the people who are truly awful. Yes, I am like a Vulcan.

I have listed tangible deeds. You have seen fit to skim through posts in a mad rush to reply with yet another illegitimately founded criticism. I cannot discover something that has already been discoverred. I have created a plethora of original & creative works of art, another item that you have neglected to read. I live on a palisade, so floods aren't prevalent. I don't even have a permanent home for Myself. Think of Aladdin. He was a street rat, an impoverished, homeless, social outcast. He is a nice enough guy, but what power did he have to spread prosperity? None. Meeting the Princess, finding a magic genie, finding a monkey companion & a rug, facing an evil vizier, finding two poor, hungry kids who nearly got attacked. These are all chance events, none of which were in his power to create. The Sultan on the other hand can make any changes he desires, good or bad. Was Aladdin's generosity somehow unsubstantiated by the fact that he couldn't provide homes to the homeless, due to being homeless himself? I hope lt is obvious to you that this is not the case. I can only do what is within My circle of influence. It being small is inconsequential to My greatness. Put Me in charge & I will create any improvement you like. I'll provide mansions to the homeless, eliminate all disorders & prevent significant damage from natural disasters. Seriously.


I have to hand lt to you: for being completely incorrect & misguided, you are quite determined & have even come up with some decent explanations to support your views.

Autism is not a catch-all explanation for every attribute. Some traits can seem neurotypical but still be autistic. Is someone who plays the piano well definitely autistic? No. Can they be? Absolutely. Autism does however make lt highly probable that an individual will excel at a given task. As I've said, autism does not explain every trait I have. I have reason to believe that I have the evolutionary beginning of something greater. Still, I am definitely autistic & that definitely makes Me great. I can't speak for everyone, their claims should be treated on individual bases.

What a curious thing to say, when you have never seen anyone else categorize autism into percentages. It seems like an attempt to prove yourself right by comparing Me to other people whose claims are unsubstantiated by neurotypical standards, thereby providing a motivation for Me to make My claim. Clever, but ultimately dishonest.

If you mean the merits of being human 1.0, I do acknowledge merit there. I'm not saying we need to whipe out all neurotypicals so the autistic master race can take over. It is not My place to make that call. That's up to evolution & Yahweh. If they wanted that, lt probably would have happened by now. Neurotypicals can be valuable in the right context, a context where they are not predominant. NT's are great followers. Autists are great leaders. Someone else has pointed this out. They said that without NT's, there would only be leaders (mostly) with noone to lead. It's a bit hyperbolic. In reality, autists would likely sort out a hierarchy. I do think that a world of only autists could work, but like I said, I'm not trying to get rid of neurotypicals nor do I support that idea. One pretty unexpendable merit of NT's is motor speed. Not all autists are as slow as Me, but lt's a fact that logical thought is slower. Given a proper hierarchy fix, neurotypicals can do a lot of good. But NT's are not meant to lead themselves & autists are not meant to follow NT's. Neither camp can do any good as we're not in our native habitats. The best way to work together is proper delegation, where autists lead in their preferred fields & neurotypicals work in their preferred fields. That way neurotypicals will have a purpose to their direction & autists will have freedom & peace of mind for improvement.

Often, but not always. Even lf the probability is 99%, lt is possible for Me to be the 1%. Probability is not the same as possibility. I have no feelings of inferiority, so nothing can develop from there.

Let's face facts here. This stopped being a matter of disagreement a long time ago. Now I'm getting pity & subtle insults, emotional reactions. I've been completely polite & reasonable throughout, I even looked for the positive side & gave out some compliments. The only reason this isn't a cold war is because I'm not a belligerent. "There is a complete lack of insight as to how what you are claiming is in fact total bunkum.". I'm guessing that looked better in your head. 'Attack', is a bit of an exaggeration, but there is a very clear offensive. We're like two sports teams. You have a very clear You-versus-us paradigm when there is no need for lt to be that way. The fact that days later literally EVERYONE is still senselessly arguing against a moot point when this isn't a debate topic goes to show this. I can't say I didn't see lt coming, but lt didn't occur that lt would last this long. How many people actually read the post from top to bottom & tried to help versus people who skimmed, saw something they don't like & decided to argue about lt? I've still yet to receive an answer as to why this is so important to you. You're not losing anything by My claim & you can't gain anything by somehow being right. The expression, 'Choose your battles.', really comes into play here. If you want to keep going down this road, I won't stop you. But you should know that lt is entirely pointless.

I've pretty much already proved lt. My mind's operating system runs nearly exclusively on logic. I rely almost completely on My neocortex. Without a brain scan, that's the best I can do. Though I'm not sure what the point of debating lt is. Does anyone here deny that I am autistic? If you already accept the fact that I am autistic, what difference does the percentage make? If you said you were 100% neurotypical, I wouldn't drop everything & go on some crazy quest to inauthenticate the claim. Why would I have any reason to doubt that right off the bat? Sure, lf we talked for awhile & I noticed some clearly autistic traits, alright, I might question lt. But you guys debate this as though I insulted your mothers. I don't see how the percentage of My autism is a cause for alarm or even relevant to the topic. Yes, lt's in the post title, but really has nothing to do with the question. I know why I'm debating. My integrity is being challenged & I'm defending lt. I'd have some peace of mind lf everyone realized that everything I've said is true & we could move on. I don't understand why any of you are debating. What is the cause for doubt? What is the relevance? What is the purpose of all of the emotions? What is there to gain? What is at stake? Everyone has jumped on this bandwagon, but noone knows why or what the bandwagon really represents.

This is all impeding on your ability to debate properly. How can one debate without a real motivation? There's a tinge of logic there but lt's lost in a sea of unrealized emotions & socially ritualistic behavior. I can describe what's happening using logic, but without limbicortical thinking, I cannot understand any of lt. You're all compromising integrity & peace for social bonding. Why? Are any of you ever going to hang out? I don't know about you, but lf I were to compromise My integrity, I'd want to gain something, not just a brief, positive social image. That has no value. You neurotypicals are strange. You say I am disorderly for only trusting people who are trustworthy. Apparently what I should be doing is going around pretending to be someone else every time the tide is flowing in a clear direction, whether or not I agree with lt, all in the name of pleasing some people who I'll probably never see again nor will ever return the favor & only lasting a brevity. Am I the only one noticing this? When the topic was relatively young, everyone was civil, because that's how the tide was flowing. Then the tide changed when the Fire Nation attacked (a couple of people who decided to take a more hostile approach for whatever reason). Now everyone is more or less taking on this subtle but minorly hostile philosophy. Okay, you made your trade. Now what?

That's a whole lotta butthurt.
