Humanity has infinite potential.
GOOD or BAD,
We can BE or DO
ANYTHING IMAGINABLE
Everything depends on what we let ourselves believe,
bad or GOOD.

This is more about humanity's collective potential. Every individual is a part of it, not apart from it.

Sure, we have finite resources on earth and we're stuck in linear time as far as I know. I still choose to believe perfection is possible with enough time and practice, even if it takes longer than a lifetime- both in a collective sense and on a personal level.

No one really knows what is and isn't impossible until we figure out the universe.

for whatever it's worth to you and to the purposes of the discussion you started, i believe that we all are here to progress via multiple lifetimes under different guises and with lifeplans/lifelessons per each lifetime.

As people have freedom of choice, they will frequently choose the easiest, most lucrative, most beneficial to them path. People are very selfish and thoughtless on the whole. Maybe that's what us Aspies are here for, as we are notoriously honest and logical, we can change the way mankind is currently headed. I think we need Aspies in governments and seats of power.

1-5 ppl are autistic.
Asperger autistics are usually highly intelligent and logical, and not good / not distracted by human social interaction.

80% of NT humans are happy to follow the crowd and fit in, and like being told what to do by ppl they respect.

Go figure.

Without the commerical industry we live in, we'd be the ones solving the tribes problems and providing that much needed role of - Shaman :P

I think I just figured out why I ended up at the rainbow gathering for a night this summer. 8O

My worldly purpose for going was to visit a friend who was volunteering for a medical tent. I had a preconceived notion that they were all a bunch of hippies just partying in the woods.

I was spiritually closed-minded at the time but they actually gave me hope for humanity.

Maybe we are the indigo, crystal, and rainbow children after all? I certainly don't believe we are broken.

mystical thinking - schizophrenic
that's more the thinking around here

there are many types of autisms
some elfin aspies
some meatheads
and some conservative gun nuts
some science nuts
we are being breed to change the landscape
but we are not the chosen ones
more like a white blood cell or antibody

Autistic people are no more or less intelligent than NTs.

Not yet, as living beings. What about in death? We can't say for certain all we can do is believe.

Who is to say what is impossible. Science is about discovering you are wrong most of the time. We just don't know.

There are common themes in all cultures that good is synonymous with light. I choose to believe in good things. I believe therefore I am.

Any position that we cannot quasi reasonably support by empirical evidence is nonsense.

When we are dead, we are gone and nothing.

When we are dead, the energy that we were leaves the body and vanishes?

Newton would not agree.

Yep! :)

The strange thing about all the not being good that goes on is that I not only think it's better to be good from an ethical standpoint, I also find it's easier to be good. Life is easier. You don't have to remember what lies you've told people or worry constantly about getting caught or someone wanting revenge, etc. Or actually have to go to prison. Now that would not be easy.

It's just easier to be good. I'm kind of lazy and into easy to begin with, and I really, really hate stress, so to me it's just simple: be good. But I do have dark thoughts at times. Not super dark, just darkish. I think that's normal, and fine as long as I acknowledge them to myself, and my actions don't reflect them.
