Oh, that's a good one. I think it's pretty common here, but in the real world I think i'm the only one i know who can just not care about anything. Everyone else gets so upset about everything and anything and I figure as long as i'm alive theres no need to get emotional over anything, and when i'm dead it just wont matter =P. My unique charicteristic is the ability to not give a s**t :D

I am unique because I am the only nonchalant guy in a world of people with hopes and dreams.

Do you want to visit Singapore within the next 10 years?

Thanks Prof. X, you're simply cool!

I find Detroit the most enlightening and memprable place, because it shows the future of cities NOT adapting to the post-industrial world as fast as it should --- full of wastelands and decay in the inner cities. It, being one of the most famous large cities that fail to recover from its past glory as a bustling industrial city of 2 million (now it houses 700 thousand or so, and dropping), would probably be remembered as the best example of a city on the decline, as contrasted to the post-industrial cities like Atlanta or Denver.

What are your solutions to rejuvenate declining cities like Detroit or Liverpool (UK)?

This is not a question that has such a easy answer though, I feel one way migh to to find other means of not only innovation but, try to learn how to adapt in an ever changing world through ways that have pliable means which can be done without a great financial cost..


What do you see as being part of the future?

I see an Earth powered by the Sun instead of fossil fuels in the near future.

What is your favorite subject in school?

What is your favorite subject in school? That has been a very long time indeed for me but, I guess it was either art or history as, both of them there was a great fondness for even if my artisitic abilities were not great :oops: atleast, I tried..History on the other hand, was something I found fascinating probably cause of my interest in ancient cultures from all over the world and all..


What do you find perplexing as a person in terms of AS and how it is perceived by other people and the media overall??

The fact that people assume that you are unintelligent if you have AS or any other spectrum disorder, and how a child could be so cruel to one that has it (Both myself age 24 and my youngest brother age 8 have it).

If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. I like this quote for, I find it quite realistic and very helpful indeed..


How do you see AS is possibly being around over the many centuries theoretically that is?

"How do you see as.."

Clumsy grammer.
Hard to figure this question out.
I think your asking if AS always existed or was it somehow caused by modern society.

Presumably any disorder that exists today wouldve existed forever.

Some, like dyslexia, wouldve been invisible and irrelevent to society for much of history.

No body was literate until writing was invented in 3000 BC , and even then writing was for the elite only. literacy didnt become the norm until the late nineteenth centurey. So until the late nineteenth centurey a disorder that rendered people illitereate wasnt noticeable as a disorder. So dylexia in a sense is an artifact of modern society for that reason.

Asperger's might be like that.

Isaac Newton mightve been an aspie- hes one of the few pre-20th centurey figures whom I might be convinsed was so. Though many 20th century luminaries are strong candidates to be aspies, including einstein.

I dunno. You rephrase the question so its more clear.. I lll lthink more about it. Well both get back to each other on this one.

So- Do you like Lady Ga Ga ?

*Do you like Lady Ga-Ga"

I'm not particularly fond of her music but i love her style, her gender bending and her supportive nature of others doing so. Her flamboyant style is awesome and I love it.

My favorite thing to celebrate is the season of Autumn. Best time of year, in my opinion.
Where I live, that roughly correlates with November... so Autumn celebration ends up getting mixed in with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

If you could change the outcome of one major historical event, which would it be, and why?

There are so many that I would like to change. I would have liked to have changed the fact that German singer
Ivan Rebroff (Hans Rolf Rippert) died because he had an amazing voice, and I have always wanted to meet him.



Do you have any tattoos? If so, what are they of, where are they, how many, and the name of the shop you got them done at.

I do not have any tattoos. I would never get one, but if I did, it would be of something related to Pokemon. :)

What are some things that you like about Japan?

Japanese culture, social etiquette, language, food, art, the way the Japanese embrace technology and their history... i like it all :D


do you like the rush of take-off in an aeroplane or similarly rapid acceleration in another capable vehicle?

No. The rush makes me way too nervous.

Do you prefer movies or video games? Why?
