Sorry for the mistakes in my previous post, it should have been "debtor" or "borrower" (not "debitor").

I think that if aspies ruled the world it would be good at first until someone got a power trip and did something to greatly upset the others, it may or may not include atomic bombs, who in turn would go DRAMA towards that person.

This is what happened (almost) to the Wrong Planet facebook group. Just imagine that and try to apply it to the entire world instead.

sorry are you just correcting a spelling mistake Aaam, because I don't really mind I do it all the time "debt card" should be "debit card".

I looked up "debtor protection", since I have never needed it & I am the type to wait for the money or take a smaller loan. Can understand "poor people" in our world would have no choice but to do it.

"debt protection" would be better, if that’s what your talking about.

Or you mean them sticking clauses in the protections, & been more transparent about they policy. By not embedding clauses deep into the contract.

I can't seem to get "Home owner debtor protection" to come up in UK they is one for Scotland.

Or a longer time period of unemployed payment protection, don't know what offers are out they but says 3 months for this one I looked at.

I would have a system for detecting & making sure they can't get hold of the "atomic bombs", including making sure the place they kept is so hard to get into, not keeping the parts in the same place & needing a army just to get at it. Making sure the automated defence system is totally protected from emp, wireless access hacking, & that any access panels or forms of shielding alerts humans to come & reinforce.

As just like any group we can have bad apples. This because of the hitler post I seen that not read yet.

Edit:- if for reasons he gets people to do what "hitler" did, then the "backdoor" that would be installed into the system. will take him out.

While i agree with everyone's different points of view, I can undoubtedly say that it would be nice in a world where things were direct and NEWS WAS BASED ON ACTUAL FACTS.

The honesty is by far one of the biggest advantages...

And yes as i mentioned before, there would be a smaller population

NT's would be the ones uncomfortable at parties, unable to relate the the conversations about Roman Moral values, or differential equations, or Parallel Universes by people who did not dress according to current fashion. NT's would be the ones getting puzzled looks if they gossiped about which Hollywood star was sleeping with who, and who was wearing what.

At the party instead of people having to try to juggle plates and cups, actual tables would be provided, stand up tables. And music wouldn't be too loud.

Seriously, while there would be some advantages if Aspies ruled the world, I could see some downsides as well:

War would be started because someonehad a meltdown over someone elses stim which they found irritating.

The clothing you discribed reminds me less of the Amish & more of the cold war era Soviet Union.

While it's true that logic would rule, problems would still arise when people disagreed over who was more "right". Given the inability for aspies to see another persons point of view or perspective, this would lead to deadlock stalemates over minor issues.

There would much less art and much more function.

The world you've discribed seems very bland and colorless to me. It's all of the illogical, yet passionate things we love & do that make us human.

I'm just yanking your chain a bit but I'm not quite sure it would be the utopian world you are envisioning.


It all depends on which aspie you put in power. I've been questioning the idea of having aspergers, but a group of people like us could get along and survive without starting a war. I've had meltdowns and they are rare and only verbal. No attacks were actually made though I threatened that I could destroy them all lol... which I couldn't have done anyways given NT society and my misjudgement of them. Aspies could in fact see other people's perspectives, however IMO, it is the fact that others don't generally care for a sperg's perspective that drives them to not care and ignore others. This phenomena is caused by NT social constructs generally and sperg interaction would be alot more friendly as different methods of dealing with things would be developed. The scientific method would be like a religion to us and being anything but logical towards another person when not being empathetic for emotional reasons would be disallowed. Bullying in all its forms would be banned. Believe it or not, we do have feelings, they're just very hurt IMO.

If Aspies ruled the world...

The Olympics would always feature Mario and Sonic.

Hot dogs and hot dog buns would both come in packages of 9.

People Magazine articles would explain the concept.

William Shatner would still be making Star Trek episodes, while Scott Bakula does Priceline ads.

We'd design and build a faster-than-light spaceship, just to prove that Linux will run on it.

Smile that's all I've got

1. Large-scale social establishments like movie theaters and malls would no longer be used. Things like movies and clothes will primarily be purchased online.

2. Eventually, world powers like the United States and People's Republic of China would incorporate smaller, less stable nations like Mexico. Eventually, the remaining democratic, free powers (such as the US, UK, and Japan) would go to war against the remaining dictatorial powers (like Iran and China). The war would be long, but with very little actual fighting, and composed chiefly of inefficient peace talks and a nuclear arms race. Eventually, internal unrest within the dictatorial powers would result in gradual reforms to democracy.

3. There would be a brief civil war in France over whether to call it the French Republic or the Republic of France. Similar wars would break out throughout the world, and they would be known collectively as the Official Names' Wars.

4. Democratic communism.

5. Authors and politicians would replace singers and actors as the chief celebrities. However, tabloids and similar publications in general would greatly lose popularity.

6. Things like teen pregnancy and hate crime would no longer occur. Cohabitation would quickly phase out formal marriage, though.

Yes! It is VERY ironic but if Aspies were the dominant population, there would be better "social" rules!!! Such as NO bullying at all!!!
And I believe all aspies would happily abide by such a rule. How ironic.

There'd still be bullying, it would just be for different reasons. I wouldn't want to be a manic-depressive or some other type of person that has a hard time controlling their emotions, in an aspie world. I wouldn't want to be someone of mediocre intellect either. These people would probably be shamed and made to feel small quite alot.

Some aspies, like me, are creative. I write and photograph.

I can remember myself having taken over that group like half a year ago. Threw everyone I hated out and ended up all alone. I was already a mod but had the power to unmod all the other mods, which I did after they stopped enforcing the rules. It was fun for a while, then I got bored.
