Aspies and Society!

Post Reply New Topic

Do you hate mainstream society? In my opinion i think society is too harsh on us Aspies and it is like survival of the fittest. Sad you know because we humans are suppoused to be one step above the animal kingdom and as much people try and deniy it if you look at how harsh and unfair society is we are not that much different from animals in terms of limitations other people put on each other out in the jungle which is modern day life.

One day do you hope for more equal rights for people from many different backgrounds in society. Maybe when society becomes more flexible we will move that one step forward from being primitives and animals into real human beings.

I think society really needs to be reformed, but I'm not the one to do that.

People for whom a system works will always defend it, or not even realize that it is there (or that things could be any different; that it is the only way the world could ever be).

As far as survival of the "fittest," I think the famous line is that C. Darwin never said or wrote that. And the trouble is that people get human notions of "fittest" mixed up with what natural selection does. Humans are a social species, so any appeal to "every man for himself/ fu** everybody but me" is not about evolution or any "eternal truth." It's just human BS that works at this stage of history in the westernized world (where you can screw people over and then disappear into a crowd. If you do that in a small village and you end up in a stock in the town square).

Enron was big internally (and externally) promoting cut-throat competition, and that didn't in the end work out very well for Enron, or the rest of the country. But the leaders loved the idea; not sure why so many people worship that.

Michael Jackson sang it best with, "Man in the Mirror". (if you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a chaaaange)

Society treats me just fine. My eye is on continuous self awareness and improvement and my intentions towards societ is giving. For these things I receive.

What did you do today to make a difference
1. To grow youself?
2. To help others?

are the questions I ask myself each and every day.
