Back off Seinfeld, or solve this tensor equation!

Jerome seems to believe that he is somewhere on the autism spectrum.What is this, some sort of coming out fortnight? Tim Cook, now Seinfeld.

Jerry, don't fuck with the turf of geeks. You dig?

Tim, your sexual preferences are fine as long as you stick to acceptable social mores. However, if you, Tim Cook come out again and claim that you too are somewhere on the continuum of spectral autism disorders, while you have the geek cred, coming out as gay points to you being socially boring ;)

In all seriousness, it is difficult to know just what Jerry has been pondering. Seinfeld claims that he is very literal. That's what makes for good comedy, not necessarily social blind spots. He further claims he never pays attention to the "right things" whatever that might mean. Maybe it is simply that Jerry is not getting any younger, and now lacks the mental nimbleness he may have once had. Is this a mid-life epiphany? An all too close look inside? If everyone analyzed themselves in fine detail, they would likely find all sorts of things in the DSM-5 that they believed applied to themselves. Self-analysis is certainly not for everyone. Put the DSM down, Jerry. You're okay.

I am watching you, Tim Cook.
