Yes, that sounds like him. ^

I feel the same way but I don't understand his vocabulary, the statistics, or the historical references.

If an-caps are the pro-capitalist equivalent of anarchists, Austrians are more like the capitalist equivalent of Marxists, ideology uber alles.

I worry that at the top there's already an understanding that our current system isn't sustainable, but that they'll continue to listen to anti-solutions of the sort favoured by neo-liberal ideologues because they're more ideologically acceptable.

I do agree with a sentiment Isabella posted earlier...

I would say without a doubt he is. He's never been tested but yes, 100%.

He fits the profile of Aspergers whereas I am Autistic.

Our father's side of the family all had signs of autism, especially the men. My brother is exactly like them.

Oh it's endless with him. If you let him start talking it can be hours of the same stressful information. It's funny because I'm essentially mute and just add occasional sound effects as he talks. It's a funny dynamic. I love him to bits and I believe he's likely right 99.9% of the time. I just don't understand the political talk at all.

So, basically you're coming up with the ad libs?

If you're not familiar with what ad-libbing means in the context of hip-hop; basically it refers to either sound bite samples, or an additional artist, or the same artist on another vocal track making responses to the main performers lines, sometimes as actual phrases, but other times just a single word or a vocalization.

Quote:
Ayo, I'm in Salvatore makin' Salaat, Bentayga in three flavors
Shoot the kid now, we'll speak later Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Up in Whitney, got the MAC with me
Hid behind the Warhol, dip to Bergdorf, shot up the whole store Brrt
Cherry fifty-seven, in the 'Bach learnin' lessons Skrrt
Crack ain't dry yet, it be ready in a second Ah
Forty chains on, halo, I'm a god -
Fear of God jogger rockin', kid, I don't even jog
Hangin' out the Wagen sunroof, pick the kid off Brrt
The Mille with the chill bezel Ah
All my foreigns red, it make me feel special
Banana peel AK, I'm lookin' real extra Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot
With the top keys, the money green Teslas Skrrt


All the stuff in italics would be what I'm describing as an ad lib. Doot doot doot, boom boom boom and brrt represent different types of gun noises (basically every time a gun is mentioned), skrrt represents tire squealing noises (twice after mentioning different luxury cars, Tesla and Maybach). It's like commentary entirely with noises here. :lol:

It might make more sense in context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ynm4H8IyhY

Exactly.

My intellectual contributions consist of:

"Oooohhhh"
"Ahhhhhh"
"Geez"
"Wow"
"Huh!"
"Mmmmhmmm"

I was thinking how the singer Billy Joel said Only The Good Die Young. If the reverse is true Donald Trump is immortal :pale: :help:

Concernig Isabellas post : very kind and polite ,, even lovingly , that you allow him to on .. He prolly gets his fill of people being rude to him based on his carrying on with what most likely is undoubtedly very important components of his convo to him. Would even go as far to saying , aiding to his familial bonding for him . just my humble opinion. :)

OMG -- both obsessive topics for him.

He's obsessed with cars, and would die of stress if he were ever late for anything.

We actually talked about his lifelong obsession with time management last night.

(( skrrtskrrt ))

My dog destroyed my good sneakers. My fault though, because I left them where he could get them.
