Nietzsche wasn’t a nihilist, though. Nor was Heidegger.

And Heidegger diving into the reactionary deep end is incompatible with Nietzsche, whose actual argument re: nihilism was that things like history, tradition, and Heidegger’s “authentic Volk” are without value.

Maybe they are actually talking to “God” but that god is Nyarlathotep. 🤷‍♀️

Britain’s answer to the Nazis was Winston Churchill, who was literally as bad as Hitler (except he genocided Asians instead of Europeans so white people don’t care).

You should not expect better from this shithole.

It’d be slightly nicer if it were just a step backward in time, but I’m afraid these ghouls and their ideology never actually left. Not in England, anyway.

I understand there’s some merit in the point you’re making, of course, but it’s not necessarily accurate either.

Autism is assessed by two symptom scales, which I will broadly call social and repetitive scales (just to simplify a bit). They don’t correlate too strongly with each other in people with a diagnosis, nor in the general population. This means, basically, people with autism all have different presentations, and people without can be fairly high in traits from either scale without actually being autistic. So, the boundaries are very fluid, even scientifically speaking.

In addition, autism is what’s called a behavioural phenotype, or in other words, defined by a collection of behaviours. Researchers studying brain scans (such as by fMRI) have found, even in people with autism diagnoses, there are several different broad types of “autistic brain,” and some of the groups they found even had brains that looked and appeared to function like allistic brains, and yet the autistic people with those brains still had autism. (In fact, surprisingly, those with the more “allistic-appearing” brains also had even more additional diagnoses such as ADHD or OCD.)

So, the boundary of what is autistic and what is not is not something strictly categorical.

…Of course, this doesn’t imply it’s okay to downplay the relevance of autistic traits and how they impact the life experiences of people, which is often what ends up happening, whether deliberately or not.

All humans are basically pure evil.
