Anthropocentrism is just fine for dealing with human problems. Taking cause and effect into account is the only way to make effective decisions about pretty much anything.

Logic is an effective tool for making many (though not all) decisions. Thus it is not worthless.
rationality can't bring about human happiness because it is impossible for the rational mind to take all requisite information into account
give up and live your life aesthetically

Aspie = IHMOL (I have my own logic)




Sub aspielogic ()

1 Your logic makes sense to you.

2 My logic makes sense to me.

3 That Aspie's logic makes sense to him.

4 That Aspie's logic makes sense to her.

5 No Aspie's logic makes sense to everyone.

6 Some Aspie's logic makes no sense to anyone but themselves.

7 Most Aspie logic makes no sense to NT's.

8 answer = InputBox ("Does this makes sense to you now?", Yes, No)

9 If answer = No Then Go To 1

10 Congratulations! You get it.

End Sub
