Does it strike you that Autists being more bottom-up thinkers vs Neurotypics being more top-down thinkers is reminiscent of Aristotle's Nominalism vs Plato's Forms?IMO this i realization is enough for me to advocate for religion for all Platonist Neurotypicals, and careful atheistic philosophical-scientific examination of life for autists; to each their own, whatever fits your brain architecture best
Aristotle married two times during his life. Of what autism are you talking about?
Autists are not human.
Elaborate on the idea please
>>25540938Plato's a delusional retard, that's all i could determine for sure.The shit he spewed may be at cause for all the evils of society.
>>25540938Autism isn't real.You're not special. You're just a lazy fuck who never developed social skills.
>>25541968This may be true, to a degree.The umbrella of Autism is far too vast, covering both the severely disabled and the mildly quirky.Frankly, i believe it to be a business scheme in order to make social outcasts feel as though something is wrong with them, turning them into life-long customers to the medical industries.Same goes for the transgenders.
>>25540938No, not really. The two are quite unrelated.
I also associated it to Jung's extraverted and introverted types, and they happen to be based off nominalism and Plato's realism, so you are definitely onto something.I'm fairly sure it's really just a modern version of this same problem, with twice as much bias since we are saying one Type would be straight mentally ill.
>>25540938>IMO this i realization is enough for me to advocate for religion for all Platonist Neurotypicals, and careful atheistic philosophical-scientific examination of life for autists;It's unfortunate that Autists have an impeded (except by means of schizophrenia) access to the divine
>>25540938Jesus loves autists too.
>>25544662Jesus loves everyone
>>25541674There is not much to elaborate on, i just see a symmetry.Plato sees the forms or the concepts as what's beneath what we see, they come first.Aristotle sees reality and says concept are only fiction that comes from us *generalizing* accross subtances.Autists are said to be bottom-up thinkers, they have a brained wired to examine the detail firsts, always, which is one way to conceive why they get sensory overloads. Also, autists have a tendency to want to know everything, to ask "why" all the time, this is because they really need the structure that binds details together in order to appreciate a whole system. But it's not that autists cannot grasp concepts or whatever either.Neurotypicals have been described in comparison to autists to view broad pictures first, to have concepts first come up in their mind, and only then will they attempt to explore details.It's just that Autists inevatibly always view everything as a system, whereas neurotypicals mind less to take concepts as reality, to take art for reality, and don't have this overwhelming will to form a system out of everything.I guess you can just type "Autism bottom-up thinking" and read up whatever comes, I don't have a particular resource to point to.Idk man, my observation is just that Nominalism vs Plato is "Substances come first! No, Ideas come first", and that the strategy difference between bottom-up thinking and top-down thinking reminded me of that debate
>>25544858Wouldn't it be the opposite?Keep in mind the common view is nominalistic
OP, be honest; did you get this from some tiktok or instagram reel or something? this seems like the kind of digestible memetic take you'd get from some pseud on some short-form pop-philosophical video format. The unironic use of "autism" as a constant generic contrary to whatever you seem to think of as "normal" is also quite annoying.
>>25540938Aristotle isn't a nominalist.
>>25544932>The unironic use of "autism" as a constant generic contrary to whatever you seem to think of as "normal" is also quite annoyingThat's all it means nowadays
>>25545027its not. only in retarded meme circles that you roam all day.
>>25545157Even this website and this very board does it.
>>25542209Also some countries offer welfare benefits to autists. This provoked an instant autism explosion.
>>25544763What a slut.
>>25545720sluts dont love everyone, they hate themselves
>>25545745That's pretty hard on Jesus.
