He seems to have a lot of the personality traits, among many quirks of course. :lol:

Looks like it.

Not sure, but maybe Foucault, Baudrillard and Derrida too.
Nietzsche most likely was. There's something about eccentric philosophers..

Just goes to show we can still be geniuses :wink:
Baudrillard is great too.
Seems to be no coincidence that they take an almost "anti-social" or at least "anti-majority" stance huh?

Trying to diagnose scientists, philosophers, etc. with Asperger's seems to be a very popular thing to do. Personally, I think it's a complete waste of time to try to diagnose people we don't know on any personal basis, especially since most of us are not psychologists.

*shrug* I was just watching some of these discourses and noticed his odd behavior.
It's clearly a waste of time, but pointing it out was also a waste of time :lol:

He acts like a typical academic.

Nietzsche probably, Zizek maybe (not that bothered by it then), the rest: no.
