NTs are in Existential Crisis

Examples are always good, particularly when it comes to explaining HOW auties think differently. Fact is that most people, especially auties, prefer to leave that question unanswered.



I'm still skeptical of what kind of truth one can find in this way

For example, my husband's version of the truth is always whatever is most entertaining. He is a storyteller, and feels that his listener's reactions are more important than truth. The stronger reaction he can get from a listener, the more important he feels. My version of the truth, is the truth. Like, 0.1 is always 0.1, 0.10 is NOT the same as 0.1! And I don't care what anyone feels about it.

Well in my philosophy, there's no such thing as 0.1 or any other logical construct -That's for another thread!-

Wait, I'm on a roll Maths is like a board game -Is a knight always a knight, making the moves allowed for a knight, or did you just designate it that way for the purpose of playing chess? -

Hang on, I didn't notice this atfirst:

Must be higher maths??

It's a good example of how they leave things out, don't tell the whole truth, the full story.

Ok, ok, 0.10 = 0.1. People make mistakes. The point is, you can talk about them.
Look out for each other. The meeting of minds. An exchange of ideas.
If we all want the truth, we will get there eventually.

The trouble is that most people would rather kill their own children than admit that
the emperor is naked.

Wanna trade? My husband's version of the truth is whatever is most self-serving and/or whatever is most degrading to me. Preferably both.

No, 0.1 is NOT the same as 0.10. If you are using a measuring device that only goes to the tenths place, then you may only record a measurement to the tenths place. It's a matter of accuracy. If your measurement device is not accurate to the hundredths place, you may not just assume that the number in the hundredths place is zero. You haven't measured to the hundredth. Make sense? This is 'Aspie truth'.

Yeah, I find this NT habit very strange...

That works for me.

No, but they're working on it and doing the best they can. Give 'em a few weeks.

Nope, just an observation. As an aspie, I'm pretty lousy at being subtle.
