In Plato's description of Atlantis he says there were 4 groups of people who were kept apart.
Warriors,Husbandmen,Artisans and Rulers.

The Warriors are the rednecks,NT people. They talk about who is the best fighter (who is the hardest?) all the time. They enjoy sports which is a substitute for war.

The Husbandmen are the animal lovers.

The Artisans are the aspies and a large part of the middle-class.

The Rulers are the politicians and actors, who are related...

As for Atlantis being a real place, this book is pretty convincing:

Eh, we're from the same place as everyone else: The Human Gene Pool.

Now if we could just convince a few more NTs of that. It seems so obvious...

Women are from Venus, men are from Mars and Aspies are from the another planet. :alien:

If you think about it. You're implying that everyone is from Atlantis. Not just aspies.

Aspies are simply a divergent neurological population from the norm. I personally believe that those with mild ASD help supplement social groups by having a skill that they focus on more than social interaction, providing a talent that otherwise is not obtained through those who spend more time socializing. Kind of like how some people theorize that homosexuality helps social communities in animals by providing additional resources to rear young. That's just my two cents though.

I believe Asperger's, Autism, and other disabilities are caused by a gypsy or a witch putting on some sort of curse on your mum while she was pregnant with you. But that sounds a bit far-fetched. So I'll just say that disabilities including Autism and Asperger's are caused by some imbalance in the brain (or wherever the disability is), whilst the baby is forming.

Reminds me of this...

Quote:
The Indian class system predates the Vedas, from which the term Vedic age has been derived. It can be considered an ancient system of division of labour that was established many thousands of years back. About 2500 years back, at the time of Lord Buddha, this system had already degenerated in to a rigid caste system based on ancestry, which was opposed by Lord Buddha.
As per this system the whole society was divided in four types of professions as follows.

1.Brahmin: Responsible for generation, preservation, transfer and use of knowledge. In those early days, when written books were non-existent or very few, people had to rely on memory to preserve knowledge, and to pass it on to others as required. The brahmins were entrusted with this task. Perhaps people of those civilization depended heavily on knowledge thus preserved and passed on, the brahmins were the most respected people.
2.Kshatriya: People following this profession were responsible for administration, justice and protection of people from enemies and other dangers.
3.Vaishya: This profession included all people engaging in trade, or other independent activities such as farming and cattle breeding.
4.Shudras: People who are engaged in work involving primarily manual labour. People in this class frequently worked as paid servants to people in other classes.

As the system was designed, the division was based on profession and a person could take up any profession according to his or her capabilities. But over a time the division became based on birth. Also the role of Brahmins got narrowed to to primarily religious knowledge. In this way the brahmins came to be identified as priest class rather than as people who preserve and disseminate knowledge of all types.

I have a feeling that I'm actually from London and a destitute couple gave me up, regardless of what my family says. I have a feeling that they're keeping secrets from me.

Actually - what happened was that there was an evil wizard who got so angry that he set out to to destroy society. So he ordered his apprentice to "summon the powers of darkness!".

The assistent thought his boss said "summon the powers of dorkiness"- and - thats how all of today's millions of socially unskilled misfits came to be.

I remember when Aspies for Freedom came up with this concept. Seems now their forum closed their mystics migrated over here to share their tales of Hugbox Island.
