Oh I remember one more
nullius?
I don't believe that one neat n-grams trick is going to stand a chance with nullius and his infinite self-quoting loop. That being said, he was way too fluent in sarcasm to be autistic. The guy was a machine when it came to constructing an argument though - brilliant!
Oh, don't be fooled by what you have learned about autism. I totally consider nully to be neurodivergent, either highly talented/high IQ or highly functional within the autism spectrum. The old myth about lack of empathy was scientifically proved wrong. In fact
we high functionals learn empathy, it's an unintuitive form of empathy, but it's empathy. We still pass the famous "reading the mind in the eyes"-test, but we take much longer. The test results are timed nowadays, to avoid false negative results.
The main symptom/sign is that we are just awkward and clumsy at socializing, and that we tend to get deeeeeply into matters, and if we have ADHD as well, we are switching between interests, even losing interest in
things by which we were totally rabbitholed before. It's not too long ago when diagnostics ruled out autism if the individual wasn't highly interested in a single or only a few matters for a long time, or if ADHD was diagnosed before. That's oid nonsense, there has been intensive research with plenty of validated findings. Otherwise i would never have been diagnosed for both, through a long running, multiple stage testing procedure.
I would just be interested in nutildah's results, or my own score, because i also suffer from "impostor syndrome", which is the habit of questioning your own neurodivergence (which always ends in a failed reality check).
But i doubt that a single score (n-gram score) reliably detects complex development disorders like ASD and ADHD, as no existing single score did, so far.
I'm developing a forum account scoring system, its been fun. Today I accidentally uncovered who the forum's true autists are via individual
n-gram scores.
Intrigued to see your findings, I have a feeling I may have some mild autistic traits or ADHD at least

To be honest though, anybody in Bitcoin pre, let’s say 2017 is a bit of a character

Easy. Try to get your hands on methylphenidate (aka. Ritalin) like 5-10mg or so. If you feel like experiencing a quiet mind for the first time in your life after an hour, you could be quite sure that you have ADHD. Normies feel like having a cup of strong coffee too much, or two

Sadly, it's only the first time when it's sooo effective. It's still useful and calming/focusing later on, but the first time it's breathtakingly effective.
EDIT: Don't drink coffee 4 hours before and after taking it, you get way more sensitive to the caffeine, which really feels unpleasant, to say the least.
If you're more autistic, you tend to absolutely not resonate with the saying "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough."

this thread between 2014-2016 was gold
Yeah it was brilliant, shame it’s turned to shit now.
There are still a few users here that keep the old spirit alive. But even over the last 9 years, this thread has lost many brilliant members. A few show up occasionally, though.
But the sad truth is, OGs are outnumbered now. Only think about all the hats we don't see no more in this thread
