you can find it non-paywalled by pasting that into scihub, or zlib, or whatever the kids use these days.

That’s actually kinda neat. I wonder why it would be the case? It does initially come across as the opposite of what I expected to be the case.

I don’t know the answer, but I wonder if it’s something to do with human feelings and motivations appearing inconsistent and being difficult to understand for autistic people. Anecdotally, my brother understands what emotions are and recognises them in himself and others, but he finds it difficult to understand why people react or feel differently from him. He has empathy, but he can’t always apply it; if I’m upset and crying over something he doesn’t find upsetting he’s like ??? By personifying objects he gets to imagine and practice empathy, without the vagaries of human emotion and individual differences muddying the waters.

I have nothing to base this on but my own experiences so I could be way off, but that’s my two cents!

I’m screaming.

(But also this feels like just a human phenomenon. Hopefully their research goes beyond “online forums”)

Inoticesd programmers tend to do so when speaking about code.

Oh my god… I mean I know this is normal to some extent, but it was always very extreme how far that personally went.
