Philosophical Quiz: Exploring German and Autistic Thinking Patterns
By
doener
Toasted just enough. A reliable bake, gently seasoned.
Summary
This article presents a philosophical quiz that humorously explores the question of whether one is 'German' or 'Autistic,' framing it as a diagnostic tool that reveals how both categories share a tendency to refuse superficial thinking. The content suggests that serious philosophical thinkers like Kant, Wittgenstein, and Schopenhauer likely embodied both traits, and positions the quiz as a gateway to deeper conversations about identity and thinking patterns.
