Dataman, you too have an overactive, paranoid imagination. Find help.

Hmmmm... tpaine, the idea of dysfunction implies some sort of original purpose, does it not? It's a notion for which evolution can give no adequate accounting. If evolution is purportedly responsible for everything that is, what basis is there for condemnation or criticism of the neural activity of Dataman's brain (or anything else for that matter)?

Cordially,

"I was in fact a naive believer (of sorts, I suppose) in Evolution for some 3 decades before looking into its claims. When I "woke up", I was quite angry at being lied to by "society"."

Socialists lie, [about society] granted. They have a reason.
There is no reason [for society] to lie for a theory. You imagine [that society has] one.

You have your own 'disfunction' diamond me boyo..
No one here is claiming evolution can give an adequate accounting for the relative unfitness of your or datamans brain.. These malfunctions/sicknesses happen. No disgrace to it.. Just be aware that nature will take its course, and the flaws you two share will affect your lines reproductive capablities, at some point..

Life is not fair fellas.
