@EzraS In My experience, I have been superior to everyone thus far, but realistically lt is more like most. Probability dictates that I simply have yet to meet someone better.
I just said the first thing that came to mind, the most recent instance of using intellect to solve a problem. Yes, there are people who are smart. But how many of them are also adept at the other things I have listed. It is not any one thing that makes Me great, lt is the combination of all of My talents.
I'm just listing off reasons why I am great. I'm not necessarily arguing why autists are superior to neurotypicals. I am a unique case, in that not all of My talents can be attributed to autism. Again, not My best example, but nothing else was coming to mind. The point is that, albeit rare, I can & will realize & admit to being wrong. This is an extremely valuable trait that most people lack. And I will learn from mistakes, so as never to repeat them, also quite valuable.
I wouldn't say lots of people do, though I'm certainly not the only one. I find lt is extremely rare for someone to remember infancy. I can recall My past with greater accuracy than My own mother. I've had family tell Me that My uncanny memory should be impossible. But I have recalled an event from when I was 2 before seeing the photograph of lt. So I think that you are underselling this amazing talent out of pure pessimism.
Again, I would not say lots. And again, while there are other people with excellent pattern detection skill, they almost certainly would not be able to simultaneously excel in all of the other areas I have listed. It's like saying that Superman isn't impressive, because some birds can fly, some people can punch really hard & some people can run really fast. Yes, but who other than Superman can excel at all of these things TOGETHER?
Once again, you're underselling the ability. I'm not just a walking encyclopedia. I'm a walking encyclopedia of lost knowledge as well. What was common knowledge in the 5'th Century is lost today. How many people know that the chinese invented the first automobile in 548 & that lt ran on wind power? Probably just some extreme historians & a relatively small amount of chinese people. I know some things that I am positive less than 10 people know about. I'm not just an encyclopedia of knowledge, I am a whole library. And I never stop adding on knowledge.
I actually did know about his unfortunate passing. I simply forgot, as I have terrible short-term memory. He was around during the majority of My recent memories, so I assumed he was still living. Anyway, not knowing something does not impact the claim. There is plenty that I do not know. It is a constant work in progress.
I do like sameness, routines & personal interests a lot. But My directive to honor the rules of friendship overrides those directives of smaller priority. I am not a hypocrite, so I could never expect people to partake in My interests lf I did not reciprocate. I don't attribute autism to all of this. A lot of lt is just My own beautiful uniqueness. I think I have, to a small degree, something greater than even autism. Some of the traits that I have are just inconsistent with autism & suggest the beginnings of something even further evolved. Neurotypicals are dependent & autists are independent. But I am interdependent, the greatest of the three. Neurotypicals want to win at someone elses expense or for everyone to lose. Autists just want to win. I want EVERYONE to win. My self is just a pit stop for refuelling on the path to My ultimate goal of saving & advancing the world. I only desire winning so that I can have the tools necessary to make everyone a winner. In essence, I don't really care about Myself. I am only 2'nd priority.
I have to disagree with you there. A staple of autism is comprehension of systems & concepts. This is usually how OCD develops. An autist is likely to understand the economy, for instance, far more than a neurotypical.
Yes, but people in art/media fields tend to have little to no skill outside of those fields. They're notably poor in the compassion field according to pop culture. You won't typically find someone in that field who is also very smart, knows every element on the Periodic Table, is full of compassion & is self-aware enough to truly learn from mistakes, among other things. NT's tend to only excel at a few things: their jobs, their passions & being neurotypical. Autists will excel at many more things, but not quite as much as I do. I don't suppose you can show Me an example of someone who excels at every field I have listed at once. Not just succeeds, but excels.
I have been appraised pretty universally in some areas & completely ignored in others (though that doesn't invalidate them). The problem with your idea is all of the great no-names of history who have died without knowledge or praise. Nobody ever praises JJ Astor IV that I know of, but He was a great man & far ahead of His time. Albert Einstein got lucky. Plenty of more intelligent scientists have lived & died unknown to the public. I would argue that the attention that he receives is a great injustice, not because he doesn't deserve lt, but because of the message that sends, that only famous people are worth anything. Crap youtube channels like Let's Players & those dumb 3AM challenge people get all of the attention, while geniuses in their own rites like James Rolfe, Jim Burke, Achille, Chad Warden & yes, even Myself, are relegated to obscurity. True, James Rolfe does get a massive ton of praise despite his obscurity, but this wasn't always the case. It is something that can go either way.
Nope, a neurotypical is not interested in how great a person is. Otherwise, someone would have interviewed My grandma. She didn't have a judgemental bone in her body, constantly did things for others while paying little mind to herself, had intimate discussions with people, let them know how much she cares, got to know them inside & out & regularly gave all of her stuff away. Maybe I'll write something about her one day, but for the time being, she died completely obscure. In this day & age, great people are constantly overlooked. Anyone who knew her would vouch for her & despite My circumstances, I think the same goes for Me. But I haven't met any journalists, so there is no way for one to write anything about Me. I'm still young though, maybe someone will. I do remember being interviewed twice, when I was 9 & when I was 11, but I don't remember exactly why & either way, I haven't been able to find either one. I don't know lf they ever aired. That's about as close as lt gets currently.
I have to meet more people. When the right person comes along who isn't biased against Me, lt may occur to them to praise Me in a more public way. But for now, this evidence is inconclusive. I'm not even 20% through My life yet.
If you were all that unique someone other than yourself would be writing about it. In my opinion you have an unrealistic over inflated view of yourself that probably developed out of social rejection and isolation. And I think you need to come to terms with that in order to find peers to be friends with. Unless you want to go with finding someone else with an over inflated view of themselves to be besties with.
You're assuming that every substantial trait is written about, when that's not true. Nobody writes about the best person, the worst person, the most mediocre person. It just doesn't happen. I have no control over what other people decide to write about. You're leaving verification in the hands of probability. I could just as easily say that you aren't smart, since nobody ever wrote anything about you being smart. You're trying to verify a logical claim in a social way. That doesn't really make sense. Logical claims can only be validated logically. Emotional claims can only be validated emotionally/socially (esocionally, haha). I've written an essay worth of evidence to support the fact & rather than respond to any of My points, you bring up people who have excelled in only individual fields & reinforce your belief that the only way I could be right is lf someone else said so publically, which is unfair, as lt hasn't happened yet.
There are plenty of other ways to verify information. Imagine lf I said that you can't be smart unless you're a physicist. What, now you have to go to college for six years to get your PhD, setting aside countless time, money & energy on the off chance that you'll become a physicist, just so you can prove Me wrong? That is completely silly. If you know you're smart, you shouldn't have to go through all sorts of hoops to prove lt. Simply providing some anecdotal evidence, like, 'I once charged my phone using a lemon, without learning how to.', would be enough to convince Me. The verification method should be something accessible, something within the persons circle of influence. Your way is essentially moving the goal post so you won't have to admit I'm right.
But tell Me, why do you even care so much? Why is My superiority so controversial in your mind? Does lt affect you in any way? No. Am I insulting you? No. Am I saying something about you that isn't true? No. So why are you so poised to disprove lt? Let's face lt, in your mind, lt is already false. You don't want to prove Me wrong, you want to prove yourself right. You want to try to get Me to say I'm not great, so you can have the satisfaction of being right. You're not seeking to weigh evidence to come to a logical conclusion. You're seeking emotional gratification.
As for, "In my opinion you have an unrealistic over inflated view of yourself that probably developed out of social rejection and isolation.": As I said, coming to love/appreciate Myself in an unorthodox way is My coping mechanism for social rejection & isolation, among many other things. My view is not, however, inflated. Had the coping mechanism not manifested, I would still be just as great. The only difference would be that lt wouldn't be as gratifying. Being good feels good. The more bad everyone is, the more good you appear & the more good you feel. It would certainly be interesting to find another person making this claim. But hopefully they would have reason to think so & not just be a narcissist. I have had more than I can handle of the Dark Tetrad.
