On a more serious note, it does seem a bit primitive that we still use switches and joysticks rather than some direct-brain-interface to control machines.


It requires a lot of concentration. They tried it on jet fighter simulators and it didn't work out.


For actual flying, yes. A 100% mind-controlled flight system would be disasterous. All you'd have to do is do something to distract a pilot for five seconds and his plane goes down. You could also fry the interface with a well-placed EMP, it might even fry the pilot's brain as well, and even if it didn't he'd be a crater on a mountain in Afganistan by the time he realises what happened. It would even be possible to reverse-engineer the hardware into some kind of psionic amplifier which would basically do the reverse of the aircraft's BCI, sending out wireless signals that transmit into errant brainwaves through the BCI. The result is a devastating aerial denial system that can turn an entire squadron of fighters into shrapnel rain.

Of course you can still use them for minor tasks such as targeting. I think having a system that targets enemy aircraft by thought could be useful, just make sure you have a backup in case the system fails.

wouldnt surprise me. I often dream about contacting extraterrestials and having amazing conversations about science and philosophy but loathe having to make smalltalk with a "normie".

The one thing I daydream about the most and write about most on internet forums are solutions to the Fermi Paradox and what alien technology might consist of. I always get "repped" on forums that have the reputation system by other posters telling me how mind-blowing and progressive my ideas are.

Sometimes when I see NTs I had the feeling that I'm an alien,
and that I'm looking on live which would be alien live for aliens.

But how stupid must a person be if he or she think seriously that autistic persons are non-humans?

I don't take it as an insult being called "half human". I'd much rather be alien;)

My thoughts, regarding this "alien" hypothesis, is that it's put about by NTs who want an excuse for why they don't understand people w/ ASDs, while giving themselves an excuse for regarding those people as less than human


Why "less than", necessarily?

Remember, "hybrids" of all types are often stronger.... :wink:

We have all been conditioned by our society to view ourselves as the outsider, the one who does not conform. I thinks it is ok to consider that the "Traits" that have been labeled by Dr. Asperger as different than the "normal" population, could be viewed as an evolution or an adaptation. We need to consider that we all have two layers of interaction. 1) There is a physiological, neural, genetic difference in the way the perceptual system is wired. This may be more of a sliding scale of neural bundles rather than some different structure or organ. We know we are ?different?, only because we compare our world to the one that other people seem to experience.

Layered on top of the neural physiology is some type of cognitive ego defense mechanism which filters sensory information and ties into our limbic systems. This is a ?sense of self?. This is shaped by experiences and beliefs, and can vary greatly between individuals. We all have our neurosis which may be shaped by how we are treated rather than by our genetics.

The term ?wrong planet? so strongly resonates with many of us. Yet how many of us actually have the freedom to express what we really feel - because either society or our own beliefs will not allow us to entertain the ideas.

My aspie traits make it difficult to interact with self absorbed and shallow ?NTs?. But no doubt I could function much better in a society of telepathic higher intelligent beings that have evolved out of the primitive and sometimes destructive ?human? emotions.

Don?t touch me, do not say anything that is not relevant to my current task, do not interrupt me until I am complete, do not make direct eye contact with me?. Just assign me a task with as few words as possible, take care of my administrative needs (food, clothing, shelter), and leave me the hell alone until I am finished. Sorry for the rant, but I really get annoyed with shallow self- serving hu? [takes a deep breath].

Every one of you have superior traits and skills designed for a more advanced society. Perhaps at some point our ?collective consciousness? will surpass a tipping point and we will find ourselves as the translators between a more advanced race of beings and the clueless NTs ?we are functionally advanced humans in a dysfunctional society.

always felt alien, and lately i've been thinking that we could be a subspecies, whether or not newly-evolved.

Ok some people are on to our secert.

I am better than other autistics becuse I have been taken to the mother ship.

I was told by our supreme commander that I can go and live on the alien home world if I wanted.
I told the little bug eye to stick his home world I was already living in a world of my own.

I was warned that my disrespect may have dire consequences for our solar system. :lol:

Yes and the so called experts think all psychological problems stem from repressed sexual feelings.

I think most of us on this board have worked out that shrinks are overpaid scam artists.

I am sorry I don't really mean that about shrinks I think they are great people who deserve their high pay honest I do.

Really. :lol:

Well, that explains why I have a lot of dreams about doctors experimenting on me.
