There is a wealth of evidence that the hippie movement was a social engineering project, e.g.:

".....Tavistock and Stanford Research then embarked on the second phase of the work commissioned by the Committee of 300. This new phase turned up the heat for social change in America. As quickly as the Beatles had appeared on the American scene, so too did the "beat generation," trigger words designed to separate and fragment society. The media now focused its attention on the "beat generation." Other Tavistock-coined words came seemingly out of nowhere: "beatniks," "hippies," "flower children" became part of the vocabulary of America. It became popular to "drop out" and wear dirty jeans, go about with long unwashed hair. The "beat generation" cut itself off from main-stream America. They became just as infamous as the cleaner Beatles before them.

The newly-created group and its "lifestyle" swept millions of young Americans into the cult. American youth underwent a radical revolution without ever being aware of it, while the older generation stood by helplessly, unable to identify the source of the crisis, and thus reacting in a maladaptive manner against its manifestation, which were drugs of all types, marijuana, and later Lysergic acid, "LSD," so conveniently provided for them by the Swiss pharmaceutical company, SANDOZ, following the discovery by one of its chemists, Albert Hoffman, how to make synthetic ergotamine, a powerful mind-altering drug. The Committee of 300 financed the project through one of their banks, S. C. Warburg, and the drug was carried to America by the philosopher, Aldous Huxley....."

But after a while I realized all the same rules apply, they are conformists, elitist (you always seem to get a head hippy) and basically act the same as everyone else does. Different cloths and music is all.

I'm not saying hippies are bad, but they seem to make claims about being different to society when all they are really doing is making there own little society with the same basic rules.

I think we should all get together and make an aspie commune somewhere............a society with just aspies or people somewhere on the spectrum would be very interesting.


The idea of an Aspie commune has come up numerous times on here.

Being a geography/urban planning major, I could give insight as to how our services could be allocated.

Being just outside of Austin, of which there is a campaign to keep it weird, would prove as a model for our utopia.

Hey Tim, what exactly do you mean by "how our services could be allocated"

I always thought that the biggest problem with starting a commune would be finding the money to buy the land and get everything you need to get started. It's what I always planned to do if I ever won the lottery...........which probably wont happen as I don't buy lottery tickets.

I've actually stayed at a couple of Hippie communes, for a little while, and to be honest they weren't really up to much, no electricity, no plumbing and the toilet is usually a hole in the ground that I saw one unfortunate person fall into.

I can't help but feel an aspie commune would be a little bit better. We'd probably end up with some skyscrapers and an airport

^^ There would be several philosopher pedestals as well, like in Ancient Rome, and people would gather around them...until they eventually lost interest...

******************

I'm with Poopylungstuffing, I can't smoke pot either. It makes me clumsier, more awkward, and even more prone to overthinking simple life skills. I can smoke it at home alone, provided I dont have to cook and there are no noises outside my home to freak out about.

And I failed to get along with most neohippies and ravers due to their lack of boundaries, i.e. they always want to touch you, your stuff...and occasionally your money.

I got into the Punk Scene back in the 80's for the same reason. I'd like to say that a lot of the people who were quite true to te 'punk ethos' are still around, though for the most part the wierd hair, and the painted leather jackets are gone. Most of the punks though, moved on to being the conformists that they were attempting to delude themselves into believing that they were not.
