Btw, here’s another thing to bring up. About my autism part, is very common for autistic people to make unusual, but logical theories and connections.

I thought you said your diagnosis was not conclusive? Seems it becomes more conclusive when it’s convenient for you.

I Don’t think “logical” means what you think it means.

Really, it is impossible to tell if most of your statements are logical or not, because you very rarely express them in comprehensible complete sentences.

Consider that if this is a logical statement:

If A, then B, therefore C.

You are more likely to say:

If A.  
Is me who what huh, then?  
W are M  
lol

I can’t find the original link, which was actually a Quora answer anyways…

However, so you can understand the minds of autistic people a bit more I recommend reading this

May be long, but oh well.

**Quora** answers are generally nonsense in my opinion. I am the mother of an autistic person, and the daughter of one. Through the years of living in that community, I feel that I have gained a solid education in autism. I did not (and do not) agree with your previous statement. Autistic persons are no more likely (and no less likely) to be gifted with logical insights than any other group of individuals. They exist on a spectrum, as do all of us.

Well, there’s that whole being _too_ sendentary leads to obesity thing. It’s becoming pretty obvious that we’re a whole lot fatter than previous generations and that’s definitely not good.

What specific era would you say was the ideal time in human history? Explain your reasoning. Take your time and apply critical analysis.

I will get back to you Silver in a moment

As for my sedentary lifestyle comment, I got to be real too. Is been developing really since I was little, I say over the last 10 years. It’s just more noticeable and common now though, especially considering that your family size decreases.
