Ok, so let us pray for the end of praying at schools!

religion poisons so many young minds

Well, tinhinking better...
needs not to pray for it...

In fact teachers did a mess at my child mind with a senseless concept of god and many other absurds. I tryed a lot to understand those ununderstandable ideas. Well, many years after these, other guys tryed to teach me quantum mechanics. But this is another story...

Ha, very funny Fat chance the majority will ever conform to the minority.

This forum is the aspie world; it's the best we'll ever have. NT's think that aspergers is a crock, and that's not going to change.

What I see everywhere is the majority conforming to very few

I believe there are so many aspies things in world: schools are very aspies, NTs would never imagine such a thing, nor would permit maths teachings for all. There are so many other aspie instances all over the world.

I believe, also, that the world is being "aspiesed", I mean turning more aspie than it is, day after day, but I'm afraid some come backs may occur.

the world is become more suited to the Aspie way of things....

maybe its a phycological and social evolution of the species?

I believe there are some "aspie waves" along the history, in which the world is turned more at the aspie way, followed by the barbarian NT waves...

I also believe we are entering an aspie wave, but we must turn it in to much more than this, in to a new age!! !

im a history buff (and so is Sopho for that matter), so can you give examples of 'aspie waves' in History?

do you believe there were ever entire Aspie based or aspie dominated cultures in history?

I really know nothing about history, anyway, let me try...

I think ancient greeks had an extraordinary and flowering culture, with so many arts, great phylosophy, maths, logics... well, probably it can be said that it was an aspie culture.

But they were conquered by those barbarian romans, that didn't know even how much would be 8+8!! ! Well, after some time they learn a lot with the greeks and did a great architecture, etc...

This makes me think at a kind of cultural evolution, in wich a barbarian armed people create a NT empire that propiciate aspie people to develop its culture until some barbarian NTs coming from far arrive again and destroy everything... at many following cycles...

I am always impressed when 'success' of a culture or subculture is measured in the base or the domination of a culture.

I am thinking of the book of Thomas where Jesus says : "The kingdom of heaven is spread upon the earth, but men do not see it." But that is not truly proof, so I will nominate two. One where Akhenaton popularized monotheism and when St Francis of Assisi started his Franciscian Order. Neither one created an empire on this earth, but both started ideas that still resonate down the centuries.

Akhenaton, Nefertiti and Tutankhamun have achieved the Egyptian goal of eternal life because they seem to be constantly on television in BBC specials through to History Channel and Discovery. The casual reader soon learns that Akhenaton is an enigmatic character who apparently turned Egyptian life upside down, so much so his general-come-pharaoh Horemheb decided to remove him and his family from history. His popularization of the idea of monotheism has revolutionized the world. This 'aspie wave' was in 1353-1335 B.C.E.

and St Francis of Assisi called for simplicity of life, poverty, and humility before God. He worked to care for the poor, and one of his first actions after his conversion was to care for lepers. Thousands were drawn to his sincerity, piety, and joy. In all his actions, Francis sought to follow fully and literally the way of life demonstrated by Christ in the Gospels. In 1212 one of his companions, Clara Sciffi, a girl from a noble family of Assisi, left her family to join Francis. With his encouragement she founded a sisterhood at San Damiano, the Poor Ladies, later the Poor Clares. It was an Aspie wave in the early 1200's . . . mostly associated with the true 'hippies' not the marketing hyped hippy of the 1970's but the true believers of the 1960's.

anyone think of others?

We are watching by different angles, thus, summing our points of view.

After the roman conquers, and along the centurys, those barbarian were aquiring culture, and developing a great art: marvelous sculptures, paintings, architecture, etc; it is to say, they were becoming aspies!,
but when it was happening, another Barbarian NT wave destroyed everything, throwing western world in to the darkness NT age.

Probably the whole history can be depicture by such carrying waves, anyway we can see over it all, a huge aspie wave growing all the time, and encompassing all those centuries.

I am greatly concerned about the community looking like... I can't think about how to explain it... wait.. Arrogant. Yea. That.

The last thing we need is to grow a collective superiority complex. Some modesty would be nice.

you know, I have often thought the same. I have been in alcholism recovery for 23 years and I thank the powers that be I learned how to deal with my ego the hard way, and how to recognize if my ego is slinking back up on me.

I listen to folks talk about themselves and see the world from only their point of view. It's not AS and it's not NT, it is Human.

What exactly do you believe is arrogant?

In my opinnion WHAT WE MUST NOT GROW IS A COLLECTIVE INFERIORITY COMPLEX!! !
anyway I like modesty too, and don't believe I am proposing a collective superiority complex. Well, I think I don't know what are you really talking about.
