The scientific mind can best be understood in terms of autism. Why do scientists reject rationalism in favor of empiricism, relations of ideas in favor of matters of fact, conceptualism in favor of perceptualism? Why do they prefer their limited, fallible senses over reason and logic? Why do they deny the ontology of mathematics? The future of the world is now being driven by a group high on the autistic spectrum. How will this affect human progress?
