| > This is already included in the "almost anything" expression and you are the 4th person deliberately (or accidentally?) not noticing it. I genuinely think that : 1/ this field is dominated by a disproportionate amount of people with autistic traits 2/ their ability to reason only functions in the narrowest sense and their grasp of language (takes everything in the most literal sense, thinks in extremes, prone to putting things in boxes, have a very, very strong attachment to their routine and are unable to ever leave the comfort zone they constructed) makes any attempt at communication beyond painful. I have come to not even bother replying to people who are unable to understand human words such as when they interpret "most" as meaning "all" or "rarely" as "never" as it's one of the telltale signs that it is going to be extremely unproductive. This phenomenon is the cause of most pains and drama. Once you start to see how this pattern develops you understand the true cause of the endless bikeshedding, of why even the idea of having a code of conduct can raise endless anger and storms and so on. You're touching a comfort zone so the temper tantrums are thrown. The routine has been built and it must continue until the end of times. If there's any field in this world that is in need of more neurotypical, emotionally stable adults, this is it. |
But it's nice to add words like "autistic", "thinking in extremes", "painful", etc. to terminally bash on those people who are wrong and just can't learn...
