I don’t really know what that means… It’s just a really weird thing to comment on a post. Even if I were autistic, how would that matter and what effect would it have on the discussion?
The way you focus on concepts like empiricism, nihilism, solipsism, other isms, instead composing a straightforward reply that is to the point comes across autistic. The other guy’s doing the same so maybe it’s just typical conversation on here.
A straightforward reply wouldn’t work in this situation because OP did not make a straightforward comment. So we use those terms because they are rhetorical terms that describe the techniques the original poster was using. It’s easy for someone like OP to make a dishonest argument and mask it as an honest one, so we are calling him out on that dishonesty by showing the flawed arguments for what they are.
I think it’s not something typical of conversation here, but it is typical of rhetorical conversation, and you’ll hear this kind of speech whenever people discuss logical and rhetorical arguments.
Are you autistic?
No.
You OK there?
Just that the “arguments” and wording of these comments read very autistic, not just your own.
