If Aspies Ruled The World

Post Reply New Topic

I just spent that last 30 minutes reading through all of these "If Aspies Ruled the World" postings and they made me smile, giggle, laugh out loud, almost pee my pants...and some almost made me cry (in a good way). I felt entertained, comforted, and inspired by reading through these postings. Thank You to everyone who had contributed....I love this Aspie community!

Cheers,
Misha

haha yea. I don't know if I'm typical.
But in my world, stick and ball games might get played of a weekend as an individual persuit, but you'd never see them on TV, as entertainment or news. Stick and ball games might be fun to play, but dull as hell to watch.
Motor racing, horse raicing, olympics, and similar sports of skill would be aired though.

YES! I would absolutely love living in a world like that. My dad calls people screwing up books to make movies "creative license" and says I should be more flexible, but I think if they're going to mess with the plot of a book so much that it becomes unrecognisable (I'm thinking "Elementary" here) then they should just call it an original work and not a movie based on a book!

If aspies ruled the world, the most obvious sign would probably be an absence of large cities like London and New York; they are too loud, cramped and dirty for many AS sensitivities and would be scaled down to a quieter, more reasonable size, which would have the added benefit of reducing the number of aggressive, impatient drivers which are often a direct result of their fast-paced, loud environment. Also, most bars and clubs would be replaced with book shops or quiet public areas where people could read and enjoy their own company. Noise ordinances for residential areas would also be taken much more seriously.

If aspies ruled the word:-

Say goodbye to the sports franchises. The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL would go the way of the dodo bird.
Say hello to theme parks like Seattle's Pacific Science Center in every large city.
Say goodbye to infernal traffic noise. Ordinances would be put in place to curtail the use of horns.
Say hello to more movies related to Dr. Who, Nature and science projects.
Say goodbye to chick flicks, American Pie-type movies, and general rom coms.
Say hello to quiet restaurants where you can sit and read for hours without being disturbed.
Say goodbye to corporate greed. I don't think that's an aspie trait anyway.
Say goodbye to wars. Aspies are inventive but they're also not warlike. Some are even avoidant.
Say goodbye to wars, especially those based on religion.
Say goodbye to fashion stores like Nordstrom's, Abercrombie & Fitch or any hipster joint.

If Aspies ruled the world:

a) No one would take illogical pseudoscience like the 'Prophecies of Nostradamus' or creationism seriously.
b) Politicians would work as volunteers, for the good of their community and/or country. They would be honest as well.
c) Corporate greed would be a thing of the past.
d) The pace of life would slow down, no one would have to be in such a hurry all the time.
e) Motorbikes would disappear. They're just too noisy.
f) The concept of the celebrity would disappear. Alternatively, a true celebrity would be someone who was actually of value to society (i.e. a teacher, engineer, research scientist) and not someone like Paris Hilton or Justin Bieber.
g) There would be truth in advertising.
h) So-called reality shows would disappear from television, to be replaced by films and documentaries, with NO breaks for advertisements. Ad breaks disrupt continuity, therefore they are unacceptable and would cease.
i) Poor grammar, spelling and punctuation skills would immediately render anyone who displayed such tendencies to the status of being unemployable, especially in fields that require these skills (ex. journalism, teaching).
j) Science fiction would actually make sense. Examples: sound waves do
not travel through space, afterburners are not required to be in continuous use in order to maintain constant velocity in space, faster-than-light travel is impossible, aliens do not speak English, nor are they humanoid in form - et cetera. George Lucas would be out of a job.
k) The penalty for bullying in school would be death.
l) Sport would be seen for what it truly is - boring. People would play chess instead (or read books).
m) Gossip would become a felony.
n) The 'job' of fashion-model would disappear, because people would wear what was actually comfortable and practical, not sleazy.
o) Space exploration and colonisation would be our number one priority.
p) No one would recognise the 'importance' of body language. There is NO SUCH THING as 'body language', it's a myth.
q) People would mean what they say, and say what they mean. Euphemistic language would die out.
r) Universities and libraries would be fully, and adequately, funded by the state.
s) Sports stadiums/arenas would close down, and the land upon which they stand used for more useful structures - like universities and libraries.
t) Suicide-bombing would be a thing of the past, because no one would take religious beliefs seriously anymore.
u) The mainstream media would no longer make inappropriate connections between the evil acts of mass-murderers, and autism and AS.
v) Sleazy tabloid journalism would be gone. Ditto Rupert Murdoch.
w) People would no longer list 'shopping' as a hobby. It's really strange, but many people actually take this approach to a task that is essentially a form of subservience to the powers of the shop-keeper.
x) Speed limits would disappear, because the problem isn't speed per se that causes death and destruction on our roads, but the tendency of vehicles to crash into things that get in their way (like other vehicles and pedestrians). It's only logical.
y) A person's worth would be determined by how rational, reasonable and logical they were, and not by how popular they happened to be.
z) People, being the logical entities that they would be, would use lists - like this one - more often in their correspondence, emails and posts.

Yeah, and nobody would ever kick a puppy through a plate glass window again, cos we are all so damn wonderful! What do you mean 'if' anyway? Richard Nixon would try to join in mens talk by asking his aides 'did you do any fornicating at the weekend?' Only Nixon could go to Mars!

If Aspled the world, anyone that abuses animals or poaches them would get executed straight away....At least under my law anyway
