Well I see that we are no longer going to have a base on Earth. How far away is this new planet? What resources do we have and need? Is there anything I don't know since I've been here yesterday?
I kind of started the whole moon thing going because I was frustrated.
We're all agreed that as Aspies we're somewhat disinclined to invade countries; yet the prospect of colonizing Antarctica is completely impractical. I agree that the availabilty of oxygen should be a factor in deciding where we can go, but by the same token, some of us need a bit of summer, a bit of greenery and days that are not six bloody months long.
Well I do anyway.
How about the idea of looking at taking over a country by peaceful and democratic means? Let's think of somewhere that needs our skills, has a low population density and reasonably liberal immigration policy, and above all is a democracy which will allow us full voting rights upon our naturalisation. They don't need to know, when we queue up to migrate en masse, that we're Aspie's, we will just form ghetto's and over time breed more Aspie offspring until 50 to 100 years from now our descendents will form such a huge demographic that they won't be able to ignore or marginalize us. Over more time Aspies will be elected to government and eventually there will be an Aspie head of state. Over more time again, a referendum to change the constitution, the flag, the national anthem, etc., to reflect the sensibilities of the by now predominantly Aspie population. Not that I really know what an Aspergian flag would look like!!
I know this will take centuries to accomplish...but hey, so will colonising the moon or the ocean.
