First, no matter what condition you have, you should at least be able to have some kind of respect for other human beings and realise that they are more experienced than you in matters concerning the game, so you should probably take their word. If you can't do that, the blame is not on whatever condition you have, it's on you deciding to be rude to others. I know people with Asperger's and it is mild on the autistic spectrum, they are very similar to the general population and are quite smart. Unless you have a specific case, it is no excuse for your behaviour. I hold a lot more respect for people who admit their mistakes than those who try to pin the blame on something else.fungus3 wrote:I should remind @everyone that I am autistic and have Asperger's, soAlast wrote:I guess I should have [sarcasm][\sarcasm] tags to my text
On the topic of evolution preferring the efficiency of species in their environment, think about evolution in real life. In the long history of life on Earth, only one sentient species has evolved. That's us by the way


Also, radiation would affect complex species (often the smarter ones) far more than simpler ones, like in real life we have more cells in our body and we live long lives so we have more opportunities for some of those cells to get mutations, leading to cancer. In the game, species with more cells have more opportunities to get mutated and die.
As disappointing as it may be, I rather have realistic radiation (in real life there would also be environmental pressures but its a petri dish so there's very little of that) than "pressures" that encourage intelligence. There's a reason why we have a sandbox mode
