In the democratic system it is the majority that rules. Aspergers are a minority. The majority considers asperger as deviant, therefor we are sent to psychiatrists, loose our jobs because we don't engage in small talk and other nonsense, et cetera.

Let's reintroduce the aristocratic system! We, the aspergers are, generally, aristocrats. Not by birth, but by intellectual strength. Then we will rule! Long live aristocracy!

(NB. We will then treat the non-aspergers good heh! I have to say this because in this hypersensitive world one is a bad guy very quickly!)

Delusions of grandiose arrogant and disdainful superiority are not treated kindly by even tolerant majorities.

It's good the moderators are aware that a general statement about arrogance and disdain has its effects. If you identify yourself in that category it has nothing to do with me.

Well, we're still likely very much outnumbered by the non-AS people of intelligence, so I am not sure this really changes things a lot as we'll still lack the ability to make our will happen.

Additionally, we don't have the ability to reintroduce the aristocratic system, there is little reason to think it would actually be better, as perhaps one of us will try to inflict a pet theory upon the populace and cause massive harm, and generally speaking in any society, we'll be considered different because we are different than the bulk of the population and we'll suffer from these differences to greater or lesser extents, so I am not sure that anything can realistically solve that issue.

Of course we can reintroduce aristocracy. Plato gives soldiers an important task in his 'state'.

Umm.... the role of soldiers in an aristocratic state does not mean that stable nations are going to be overthrown by the crazy plans of a small majority.

Additionally speaking, I am not sure a lot of people will accept Plato's Republic or the ideals within, or even how Plato sees things as working.

You just force the people to accept it.

Like the usa now forces afghanistan. The only difference is that the usa is deranged.

Umm... the issue is that the USA is massively powerful. We are not. We are a small minority of individuals and thus aren't massively powerful.

Additionally, when you "force people to accept it", you are more likely to get rather massive problems like corruption, resistance, and all of these other things that would make society suck.

You understand power like a cat understands food. You're not wise in the least.

You also lack much intelligence if you fail to see the benefits of working on and learning small talk and other such skills to blend in and apply your supposed intelligence on top of not being seen as too much of an outsider.

On top of that, an aristocracy would never work because too many people are too stupid in general and therefore don't trust smart people out of a very primal fear of getting screwed over.

:roll:


I'm not insulting you. You've yet to show any reason for me to consider you to have any inkling of wisdom. You can't make claims without backing them up. Especially on such a grand level as you're claiming.
