But here's a question I never dared to ask in the NT world: who actually makes those unwritten rules that everyone in society is supposed to follow? Who is that person (or people)? Is it one of those charming but obnoxious alpha-male types? Is it the government? Is it the CEOs of big corporations? Who? I really want to know the answer; this is not a joke. Most importantly, I wish I knew how the rules that everyone <sarcasm>absolutely must follow under the penalty of banishment from society</sarcasm> started out, and what was the premise behind it?. So how do they start out? Does someone decide "hey, this rule will be fun to implement", and leaves everybody stuck following it? Or is there another process?
Who as a singlar is a interesting term. I don't think it was one single person but groups of people over generations. NT's or people who THOUGHT they were NT, who wanted the world to be more organized and less colorful. gray and bleak. They probably thought it would somehow prevent chaos among people (war would probably be too severe a term.) nevertheless destorying individuality is not the answer. If it were, we'd be happy.
A thought is noone is every really NT, there is NO standerd for the human mind. Everyone is definately different and I BELIEVE everyone is diagnosable, for something or other. Makes sense when you think that many disabilities like aspergers for example at most have only started being diagnosed in the past 30 or so years (if my dates are wrong feel free to correct.) New disorders are discovered (really just named) everyday.
Okay, I'm done. That was long huh?
