What I'm still failing to understand is why LPP wants to breed AS out of the human genome (as 99.9% of all AS people do not fall under his "alpha male" description).
Let's let the imaginary dedicated genome centers in my imaginary system to decide who's alpha and who's not.

Autism doesn't equal genius , it's true that some autistics are savants and geniuses and so some NTs. It's true that many NTs are idiots and so many aspies =).
There's no proof that einstein was autistic/aspie , in fact many points in his life story disapproves this claim. Many of you aspies must stop capitalizing his famous name , there's no proof yet that he was aspie and this it's total speculation. It's not like anyone can prove it at this point.
Einstein is NOT your poster boy! Respect the names of the dead at least.
Those were two separate points (which, thanks to my crappy control over the english language, I didn't separate enough in my previous post)... I didn't necessarily mean that all autistics are genius, or make the einstein connection...
What I did mean, however, is that einstein (AS or not), as well as many other scientists, inventors, and what not would still not be considered an "alpha" male under your system... what you're saying is that they should not have been born. You would still end up with a society of men with naturally higher testosterone levels, which would then result in more in the way of war and aggressive actions taken... and in this age of nuclear weapons, such war-like actions could indeed lead to the destruction of both earth and humanity...
