If everyone had "ASD", would there be "world peace"?

Post Reply New Topic

Given the nature of people on this site I don't think I need to go too far into this. It's just a thought-provoker. Something to get us talking. I will say, however, that what caused me to want to start this thread is that I am constantly trying to understand, to simply put it, life, and I realized that quite a few people with ASD do as well.

Probably not ...

If more people were like me personally, then yeah. I am full of empathy, I am not money-orientated (as long as I've got enough to live on), and I am really trusting. Anyone can tell me anything, and I wouldn't go and tell anyone else their secret.

The OP's first sentence reads rather strangely - what does it mean?

Some of the stuff that appears in the PPR and L&D forums doesn't really suggest a very hopeful answer to the question either!

Short answer: No

Oh ABSOLUTELY!

If everyone were an aspie like me there would be world peace.
And if you disagree....I will grab my tire iron, and beat the crap out of you!! !! !

We'd probably be still living in caves.

That's a hard question.

I'm not even sure why war happens, but my best guess is that it's down to rivalry between the ruling class of various nation states. If so, I don't see much evidence that ASDers are any more interested in eliminating the ruling class than is the general population, so I don't see much likelihood of them fixing the war problem. But you never know.

If you had also eliminated narcissism and psychopathy, then maybe yes.

I would have to say no on this one. Although we tent to gravitate away from the more common NT evils, like money, power, vanity and prestige. There is one kind of evil that is hardwired in to every human being out there. And that called "human nature". And so long as human nature exists, there will never be peace amongst other humans, and that goes for aspies as well.
