Contempt is one of my favourite movies.

I do the 'semi-recluse thing. Just me and my dogs and the birdies. It's taken most of my life to get to that point though, it's been hard to achieve.

I was heavy in apathy earlier in life and considered myself to be quite a misanthrope, I even designed my tatoo to reflect that. But now, I am quite intelligable with empathy and understanding for the idiocy of populational-disasterism.

Sorry, what is? Misanthropy? Or verbosity? Or something else?

I'm actually somewhat sociable (and need to in my line of work). Am I a joy to be around? Probably not but then you have to read between the lines and see the irony of such a statement (for an Aspie, I'm kind of good at anything ironic or sarcastic).

I'm not sure what irony you're referring to. Are you saying your acknowledgement that you are "Probably not" "a joy to be around" was ironic? If so, it definitely doesn't seem as such.

Is it still contempt? Sure, toward the incredule.

Here I take it you meant incredulous, but again I am at a loss at who you're referring to. Incredulous of what?

aintnowreck wrote:

I have no patience for close-minded people, idiots or imbeciles that can't understand that other people may be different.

Okay, I think I've spotted the irony now. :lol:

I think you have a right to self-righteousness when you're being attacked for being who you are.

That is my point.

You also have the right to hop on one foot while singing the collected works of William Shakespeare in Italian translation while wearing a yellow-polka-dot dress.It doesn't mean you should. It also doesn't mean you're being attacked for being who you are, at least no more than other aspies, many who aren't misanthropes at all.

And who needs those? I doubt anyone without a brain would miss it. :lol:

Humanity is wonderful....

However, people suck!! !!

I guess I only know NT's at least I only have NT's around me. I don't know of anyone in my family that is AS nor do I have any AS friends.

I do not hate individuals... I do hate some of their actions...

But usually ... I tell them what lying, manipulative s**t heads they are and "POOF" I no longer have to worry about interacting with them anymore...

I think that's a rather blamocentric perspective, if you don't mind my saying so.

"Blamocentric" ...I like it!

I think contempt is mostly all I ever experienced from others (after the initial curiosity or wonderment) so it can become an attitude you adopt, it seems 'normal', but it's not natural to me to feel contempt, so I killed it.

I've been wondering if us, Aspies, are on the same page concerning the human race, NT's and the rest.

Just a few pointers, feel free to discuss:

-Do you have contempt for the human race?

-If yes, is your contempt exclusively for NT's?

-If no contempt and are happy with the human race, why (because I can't fathom that ideal)?

-How do you entertain your vision? Do you see one single, happy human family (like a peace and love gathering) or wish you'd be the World Dominator who's victory is his (or her's), annihilate humanity and rest (alone) in your castle?

I have contempt for the humanity on the whole, but I hate those whom I consider to be worthy of hatred. Even some NT's are worthy of hatred, very few, though; also I don't think that NT's ever care about humanity or about anything global at all. Sometimes I wish I was the World Dominator and could annihilate humanity, I'd smile and kill myself after that.

Pagans are people who are able to accept this. What about Pagans, by the way? :lol:

I'm actively working to save humanity from its sheeple hood. I don't hate them, i just see them as groupthinking
fools. Thats not to be mean or anything, its just fact.

I love them, even tho for the most part they are pretty mean to me. Its easy to do because they tend to seem like children.

Awhile ago you were positvely rabid with enthusiasm about your ancestral religion.
