>There is no way to absolutely rule out the idea that gravity is caused by invisible, insubstantial pixies that have an obsession with everything having to be as close together as possible.

It's funny that scientists say that gravity exists when in reality there is no tangible, measurable force that can be detected. Gravity only exists in theory. Gravity as a concept is highly unscientific.

>>15701

Peer review is a large number of people that can replicate experimental findings and imperial evidence.

>>15702

Ignoring the fact that what you've just linked isn't the same as what you've commented on it: even a layman can set up an experimental apparatus and demonstrate gravitational attraction.

>>15701
Exactly. Another poster in this thread already mentioned the replication crisis so peer review is nothing more than agreement based on opinion.

>>15703
>demonstrate gravitational attraction.

Are you autistic? That's not the same as the force itself. Everyone can drop an object to the ground and see that it falls (every human since time immemorial has seen it happen). Obviously this phenomenon is real but the force called gravity isn't. Electricity and magnetism are tangible and measurable but gravity is not.

>>15696
Talking to autists is like talking to aliens.

>>15706
I don't think they can grasp regular existence quite good enough.

>>15705
Peer review is just another way of saying that if the majority doesn't support it then it's "objectively" wrong.

>>15705
>"Are you autistic"?
>"Electricity and magnrtism are tangible"
>"Gravity is not tangible"

The hypocrisy of imageboard users especially when criticising others as autistic/schizo/sheeple/etc while shiving opinions with no consistency is never-ending.

>>15710
This is the same kind of logic that autists have that you criticise them for.

>>15711
>no consistency

He’s right though. You can only prove that gravity exists by measuring when an object falls to the ground and not gravity itself. This elusive force is purely theoretical and not physically tangible.

>>15707
Too much misinterpretation.

>>15712
The same could be said for electromagnetism.
Or brain development.
Or race.

>Preference for Geometric Patterns Early in Life as a Risk Factor for Autism
>Overall, toddlers with an ASD as young as 14 months spent significantly more time fixating on dynamic geometric images than other diagnostic groups. If a toddler spent more than 69% of his or her time fixating on geometric patterns, then the positive predictive value for accurately classifying that toddler as having an ASD was 100%.

You can prove that gravity exists, without physical evidence, as long as you have extreme levels of autism.

>>15713
Must be terrible to lack any semblance of normal interaction.

>>15715
lol

>>15716
Life is theory to them and never practice. You could say they all suffer from atelophobia.

The way this whole thread is pathologising autists for not appealing to "neurological" sentiments, to the point of conjuring up clinical diagnosis for them sounds a lot of like.....
Wait for it ......AUTISM

>>15717
Autistic triangles and squares.

>>15387
I actually think it's the opposite. People who only care about others insofar as they can put themselves in the shoes of the victim are halfway close to being sociopaths. You should care about others, not because you could be them, but because they simply matter.
Sympathy =/= empathy.

>>15720
Who wouldn't obsess over rhombus shapes all day?

>>15721
Very autistic reasoning. This is why you can't understand mutual respect and how to reciprocate good behaviour. It all boils down to deceptive egotism.

>>15723
Kant's principle of morality ("Act so that the basis of your action may be valid for all men") is what most people can agree on is justified. If you deviate from this and proclaim your right to "freedom" then you clearly don't care about others.

>>15718
I have noticed that too. Very unhealthy approach to living.

>>15725
A spaz will always be a spaz.

>>15724
All of the autists that I've met always love Nietzsche or Stirner. Fedora overload.

>>15729
A life full of pointless chores and meaningless existence.

>>15733
Autistic life is by default devoid of actual joy and happiness.

No way, there is always the hunt for larger Mersenne primes.

Here's a fun way to find primes: append a digit to the front or back of existing ones. The smallest prime that can't be turned into another prime by appending digits to either end is 773.

Wow.

>>15721
This. People are only able to care about others if they're psychologically similar to them.

>>15723
The fact that you're getting upset at the other anon for suggesting that sympathy isn't the same as empathy goes to show that they're right

Youre acting just like those wokescolds

>>15732
The biggest problem for autists is that they desire their "freedom" and will do anything to keep it. They don't want to reciprocate behaviour that goes against their own lifestyle. It becomes quite clear that the autists like to appeal to the very vague notion of all-encompassing tolerance for the sake of appearing kindhearted. What this actual means is that you accept all kinds of behaviours and every kind of twisted and disgusting rationale behind them without demanding some kind of effort to prove their worth in the eyes of others. This is the very core of egotistical behaviour: "I have no reason to show why I'm allowed to have a share of society's collective wealth because I just think I'm above it all and shouldn't have to prove it". It's essentially nihilism. Nothing has value, nothing matters and everything should be permitted for the sake of it.


Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words, but that's something the autists can't understand.

>>15737
The face you make when some neurotypical says 0.999999999999999999 = 1.

99.99% of them will never do anything for someone else out of kindness because they simply haven’t got the mental framework for it. They only receive but never give.

>>15747
I know about an autist that recently became a Christian and it's so painfully transparent that he doesn't believe in a higher power. His whole behaviour is so rehearsed and forced that it's sad to watch because he tries desperately to fit in with his surroundings but fails ultimately. Totally oblivious.

>>15746
When your life is all about following numbers.

>>15750
Sounds like mental health issues.

>>15753
Obviously. Autists have this peculiar tendency of interpreting everything as an insult if it isn't outright praise of something.

>>15756
I've seen that so many times it becomes annoying. They think everything has to do with themselves or their own person as if the world revolves around them and everyone is out to get them in any given social situation. It's no wonder there is a crossover between autism and schizophrenia.

>>15751
If it doesn't follow a specific pattern then the autists is unable to grasp it.

>>15759
Literal binary machines draped in flesh.

>>15761
They trust the science no matter what.

>>15758
They're mentally unstable so it isn't surprising that you have to walk on eggshells when they're around.

>>15763
Reality doesn't make sense without it so they treat it as dogma.
