You're right, Hadron, it's the spirit of the idea. I was just having some fun with the terms.
It's an interesting idea to level the playing field, anyway. My concern would be that it would just denigrate into yet another "old boy's club" where networks are more valued than merit. Seems almost anti-aspie...any suggestions to prevent that irony?
In society networks are more valued than merit. The idea of this network is in effect going to oppose the fact, by getting more aspies into higher up places in society. Obviously, if it degenerates into an old boys club then it is not fit for purpose, so a strong leadership with a compassion and a good vision is probably needed to prevent such a degeneration.
Well, if NTs can have fraternities with a good-old-boy network. Why can't Aspies do the same? A "Good-Old-Boy" network can mean fraternal members in general not restricted to strictly males.
It was like a scene on the Sopranos when Tony was telling his son when mainstream society did not admit Italians into their churches. So the Italian community built their own. Aspies should use the same kind of logic.
